All she did was speaking out that usage of dehumanizing language like "vulva people" is very offensive to women, and then she changed her pronouns to "Beep/Bop/Boop" R2D2-style, which was called as transphobic move and mockery of trans people. After what she was fired from staring in Star Wars movies - or cancelled completely.

At same time at the end of 2019 they re-hired very problematic movie director James Gunn, who was accused of rape, sexual harassment multiple times, and was considered as paedo. They fired him because of the accusations and his harassment to women, but after scandal went silent after few months, they re-hired him back.

James Gunn, who was accused of rape, sexual harassment multiple times

This is news to me. As far as I know he made a tasteless joke. Do you have a citation?

I've never heard about any rape/harassment from him, but his social media went way beyond a tasteless joke. It's pretty vile stuff, lots of pedo jokes featuring himself as the pedo.

They were pretty vile, but he was working for Troma at the time. Creators of such classics as Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town and Nuke'em High.
