yeah, disney should rehire him with an ass-covering statement that basically goes

- we rushed to act because these issues of sensitivity are so important to us (lmao no, they care about brand purity, but they can say it anyway)
- now that new facts have come to light about the source of this furor, we are reversing that decision as an active statement that the disney company will not be the tool of bad faith provocateurs and smear campaigns (puff up that heroic/virtuous language)
- we at the disney company believe in fairy tales, and in redemption, and we have seen how much gunn has grown as a person and a professional in the years since these deeply tasteless and much-regretted comments were made (better worded but you get the point, bring it all back to the #DisneyBrand)

I don't care about James Gunn personally at all, or the GotG, but I care a *lot* about the fact that this was obviously a dry run for the right-wing troll farm to target and punish other (and often more vulnerable) artists who promote politics they disagree with. and it worked.
