If we're comparing Kevin Hart and James Gunns. One of them did meaningfully apologize and [url=https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1020154776539967489addressed the issue head on.[/url]

Kevin Hart who also did some very bad tweets did not. He remarked at the time:

“Guys, I’m nearly 40 years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past, do you. I’m the wrong guy, man.”

“I chose to pass on the apology,” the 39-year-old actor-comedian said in the video. “The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times. This is not the first time this has come up. I’ve addressed it. I’ve spoken on it. I’ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I’ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I’ve done it. I’m not going to continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I’ve moved on and I’m in a completely different place in my life.”

and in trying to dig for when he addressed it the most I found was a rolling stone article: https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/...usiness-67836/

Hart, an avowed crowd-pleaser, isn’t aiming to push boundaries or tackle taboos. Describing his sensibility in interviews, he’s said things like “I’m not a political guy” and “What you have to learn to do is to give people what they want — people love a broad comedy.” There is one prominent exception to this. In 2010’s Seriously Funny, he tells the audience, “One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay. That’s a fear. Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic. . . . Be happy. Do what you want to do. But me, as a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.” This leads into vignettes in which Hart reacts to imagined signs of Hendrix’s blossoming homosexuality with interjections of “Stop, that’s gay!” Discussing this bit today, Hart says, “It’s about my fear. I’m thinking about what I did as a dad, did I do something wrong, and if I did, what was it? Not that I’m not gonna love my son or think about him any differently. The funny thing within that joke is it’s me getting mad at my son because of my own insecurities — I panicked. It has nothing to do with him, it’s about me. That’s the difference between bringing a joke across that’s well thought-out and saying something just to ruffle feathers.” Even so, he adds, “I wouldn’t tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren’t as sensitive as they are now. I think we love to make big deals out of things that aren’t necessarily big deals, because we can. These things become public spectacles. So why set yourself up for failure?”

Which really didn't address much.

Honestly if anything it makes him look worse considering the stereotypical view that adult black man have considering homosexual views (Which that bit plainly falls into).

I believe that people can change in a decade yes.

**Xno Kappa** · 2019-09-20 02:51

I googled boomer and realized its once again guys like Fiye and Milkster somehow calling me a white supremacist/white sympathizer because they obviously know better than what Hispanics want. I genuinely get annoyed by it not gonna lie.

Anyway while I dig for photos here's a picture of my lanky pale ass coming back from deployment seeing my daughter for the first time.

Don't @ me about the neckerchief it looks awful yes I know.

**Demosthenes** · 2019-09-20 02:52

You can't compare people that double down with people that do work towards change.

You look like a fucking nerd fiye!

**Zealot** · 2019-09-20 02:52

My opinions on Kevin Hart are less strong but he did the right thing by not apologizing.

That shit is sweet though. I'd be in so much pain right now if I couldn't be around my son.
