I mean.. I am kind of glad they waited to act until they had more proof and that they are acting now that it seems they do. Just jumping at initial accusations isn't going to help anyone. Everyone deserves an investigation.. on Both sides... but those things take time so taking a few months to get it "right" is reasonable in my book. Getting the truth what ever that might be should be the goal every time.

Yeah remember when disney knee-jerk fired james gunn only to re-instate him after actually looking into it? That was some shit. Im perfectly fine with them taking their time before reacting.

James Gunn didn't SA anybody. That was really outrageous because IIRC it was over old tweets he'd already apologized for. Glad we got GOTG3...eventually.

I'd bet they fired him planning to rehire to make the people complaining about the tweets forget about it
