Some nerds can't accept that, though, and apparently their income is even more disposable than yours and mine. Ross A. Lincoln, The Wrap:

> On Monday, a billboard calling for James Gunn to be rehired as director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” went up just four miles away from Disneyland. The ad was paid for by a fan-created crowdfunding campaign that has raised just under $5,000 since September.

They've even got a website, RehireJamesGunn.com, which explains the thinking here:

> [O]ur Guardians Family announces our new project: to place billboards outside of Disneyland and Disneyworld in order to draw even more attention to our cause. Perhaps we won't Save The Galaxy, but we hope that we can at least help Disney find the courage to do the right thing and #RehireJamesGunn...

> James Gunn's firing arguably represented a dangerous new era in the weaponization of celebrities' social media histories. As such, this attack drew a hefty amount of news coverage and think pieces. The success of the attack on Gunn has already lead (sic) to similar attacks against other comedians with histories of shock humor, including Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, and Dan Harmon, the co-creator of Rick & Morty.

Yeah, those poor, poor comedians. I can't help but notice Roseanne didn't make the list, though. Guess she doesn't count, for the aforementioned reasons.

just like with "Blood for Oil" this is the "Pedophilia for Raccoon Turds" movement; some love to niff their shit at every price.

Roseanne Barr has her supporters too, allegedly ABC already regrets having fired her for her tweet.
