Filmmaker James Gunn is one of the most active members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on social media, weighing in on mundane topics as well as tense political matters. Following a series of tweets in which he was criticizing Donald Trump, Gunn's tweets dating back to 2009 were dug up which used crass language and made light of rape and pedophilia.
The tweets garnered enough attention that Gunn took to Twitter to post a series of messages in hopes of explaining the offensive messages.
