Disney empowered alt right trolls at the end of the day.
James Gunn made some terrible, just terrible tweets. I was actually really surprised at how abhorrent some of them were. However…
They were not only made around a decade ago, but James Gunn on his own accord, apologized profusely six years ago to the public. I think it is reasonable to believe that James Gunn has grown as a person based upon his and others words.
Disney did the wrong thing.
EDIT: The whole situation reminds me of when Sam Seder was wrongly fired from MSNBC, as the corporation went with a knee jerk reaction instead of actually doing their research. Seder got hired back once MSNBC regained their sanity. I hope the same can happen with James Gunn. The Guardians movies really are something special in the MCU.
