Think while you can. Dare to try. Fail. Learn. Dare again. Think more.

No, it's not "OK"... but neither is a life sentence to misery "OK."
If you don't get the forgiveness angle, then I really pity you. News flash: you're not perfect either. Someday you'll be the one needing forgiveness.

I'm just going to jump in here with both feet. But first let's get this out of the way:
(post script, he was outed by a CONSERVATIVE news source, because he wasnt a Trump supporter)
That is completely irrelevant. It's wrong. Period. Who did it doesn't matter.
Now, to address the main point: none of us are perfect. None. No one on the left is perfect and no one on the right is perfect. But we're creating a world where perfection is required, and no one, not one of us, and that means you, you, and you reading this, can withstand that kind of scrutiny. We're depriving ourselves of art, humanity, free thought, and all the things we once held dear. And it's not Donald Trump or Barrack Obama doing it. It's us. They're just riding the waves we create.
Guardians of the Galaxy is/was an awesome series, one of my favorites. Now, will it continue to be without the vision of Gunn? Maybe, maybe not. I don't appreciate my little bit of enjoyment in this life being placed in jeopardy by anyone who thinks they have some sort of duty to point out imperfections. What's next? An engineer is fired for making too may typos on a high school book report? A doctor is de-licensed because he voted for Nixon in 1972?
How about you get fired for something you did in elementary school?
I've seen Gunn's offenses. They're disgusting. He should be ashamed. But has anyone ever thought maybe he is? 10 years is a long time... and has already been said on the first page, people do change and grow over time. More important, is it relevant to what he does for Disney?
We are not the moral compass for the world. We need to get over that. We apparently lack even the ability to forgive. And if we do not learn to forgive others, especially for irrelevant things far in the past, we cannot be forgiven for our transgressions either. Everyone needs to think about that.

If you are upset over him seeming to be a pedo, perhaps you should lobby for him to be tried for the crime. I'd support that.

So the guy's a convicted pedo in the publics eye. Very strange indeed.
As I said a couple of years ago be careful what you start.
