I want to know how Danny boy has managed to survive those tweets, because this isn't the first time they've come up. Some of them are really disgusting like claiming he'd be entertained by 911 rape calls if narrated by a soothing voice, and others are just straight "I hate [minority group] and [other minority group]."
Dude is still thriving. How is this?
It basically comes down to who is pointing these things out.
Danny claims that it's "a right wing group" that keeps bringing up these tweets so he is immune.
Same with James Gunn.
If these things had been tweeted by, say, Colin Moriarty or the dudes at RedLetterMedia or Cinemassacre and the like then they would be remembered for ever and brought up at every opportunity.
If they were tweeted by a smaller youtuber or someone like that then they would for sure be demonetized etc.
A few of these people have that kind of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" immunity.
Look at Joe Biden as the best recent example.
People are 100% willing to look the other way and forgive almost anything if it's someone on "our side" being attacked by "the other side".
As you say, those tweets are a disgrace and it's insane to me that this slimy little weasel can try to take the high-ground with anyone when those tweets are out there but that's where we are at.
You could point out those tweets and he will just claim you are "far right" and try to pass it off as "cancelling me would be a win for right wing groups and you don't want to support those people, do you?"
Look at what Colin Moriarty was cancelled over. A very, very, tame joke.
The difference is that people already hated Colin for his politics and it was an opportunity to go wild and dish out excessive punishment.
Danny on the other hand gets to say "I'm an ally and the right wing is trying to destroy me over pretty extreme sexist, racist tweets I sent so lets not let them win".
Colin made a dad joke. He was cancelled and blacklisted. Just a terrible misogynist.
Danny made rape jokes. He's fine though. One of the good guys, really.
To the ResetEra lurkers. Think about that for a minute. Think about that double standard.
Oh and for the record, since we are all supposed to be horrible assholes over here, if that was one of my friends sending those tweets I'd be personally saying to them "not cool dude". So it shows you where we are at when tweets like that are too offensive for us terrible people over here but people are willing to look the other way cos the guy making them is an "ally".
