Two problems with this:

1) Gunn publicly acknowledged and apologized for the tweets in 2012.

2) The "backlash" came from Mike Cernovich and his raving alt-right lunatic fans. Everyone knows they couldn't care less about what Gunn tweeted - hell, most of them have written an awful lot worse, and Cernovich himself has written at least one article bragging about forcing himself on a woman. The idea behind this is not to make people who express these opinions accountable for them, but to weaponize #MeToo against anyone they see as an enemy of their cause.
