Gina Carano fired after social media posts

[Tomoreno]

She also made transphobic comments, COVID denial comments and comments about a fraud election.

It is not just ONE thing she said but many.

She was quoted saying “Expecting everyone you encounter to agree with every belief or view you hold is fucking wild” and one saying “Jeff Epstein didn’t kill himself"

In November 2020, she made light of people including their preferred pronouns on social media by adding “beep/bop/boop” to her Twitter bio, which many fans called out as transphobic. Carano later removed the words after she said she spoke to her “Mandalorian” co-star Pedro Pascal. “He helped me understand why people were putting them in their bios. I didn’t know before but I do now. I won’t be putting them in my bio but good for all you who choose to. I stand against bullying, especially the most vulnerable & [support] freedom to choose,” she wrote at the time.

Most of us said far worse things.

I believe that a lot of trump's staunchest supporters, as in the type that stormed the Capitol, are poorly educated. Maybe I am wrong, but I am under the impression that Biden/Harris got a lot more support from the college educated demographic than trump.

Trump relied on the uneducated for support. The uneducated are also quite often gullible. And gullible people are more likely to buy into the Republican party. It's no coincidence that uneducated people are more likely to be emotionally invested in "God" or "gods", believe that vaccines cause autism, or that Hillary Clinton runs a paedophile ring from the basement of a Washington DC pizza shop that has no basement.

In fairness to the Republican party, Trump is not really a "Republican" -- he's an opportunist.

He's smart enough to know that only the far right-wing would be gullible enough to believe his bullshit, and that the far right-wing in the US votes Republican, thus he saw an opportunity to take advantage of a power vacuum.

Umm can’t say I have said worse things and know a lot of people who haven’t.


Also, that is two things now she has said that you acknowledge but then there was the COVID and election shit.


If she was guy, it would have only been one thing and over for him, not repeated things over and over and now she finally gets fired. Double standard for sure, surprised the guys here aren’t calling that but she is a bad investment because she repeats the same shit.

I've been following Gina for about 13 or so years now. So for more than most who are going to comment on here.

There were some rumours about problematic behavior years ago before twitter became a thing. But then again without knowing her personally it's hard to draw any conclusions.

She was the female face and first star of female MMA. Of course that ended when she was demolished by a drug enhanced version of Chris Cyborg in Strikeforce. Dana White tried to lure her to the UFC but they couldn't reach an understanding. He called her difficult to deal with. However some would say Dana is difficult to deal with so.........

Hollywood beckoned and she answered. Having seen her performances it's clear she's not much of an actress. I believe her voice was dubbed in ''Haywire''.

It's never a good idea to compare the Holocaust with anything. That goes doubly if you are throwing down Republican talking points. Leftist media outlets are going to be relentless......

I will leave the board with this quote....... ''The original definition of woke is out of date. As a "concern for social justice", nobody could object. But it has morphed into a cancel culture that seeks not just to disagree but to close down ideas and people with which it disagrees. Insidious.''

Since you have been following her so closely you forgot to mention she has been spewing garbage QAnon conspiracy theories for the past years. She is for the Capitol Hill riot that happened. She has been purposely saying crap since she got hired by Disney as if she was daring them to fire her for the past year. Disney was trying to look the other way through out her past rants but talking about Jewish people was the last straw.

Basically she got what wanted. Now she probably wants to be a martyr and profit off it by being on OAN as a figure head.

 

[decoy2673]

she was begging for it. good riddance.

Is that the same Disney that loves doing business with China? Are they counting on the Americans to miss the human rights abuses like the readers of the NYT missed the horrors of Stalinism in the 30s and 40s?

From the article:

"a longstanding campaign by fans of the TV series for the 38-year-old actor to be fired from the show, using the #FireGinaCarano."

Cancel Culture!

For sure! The truth wins a round! Hopefully, the first of many...

Was thinking martyr myself. A movement media martyr - mmm...

Just like any other employee, Gina has a contract and code of conduct with Disney. She chose to breach those agreements multiple times so Disney is justified in firing her.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean spouting dumb things doesn't have consequences. Gina is a marginal actress employed in the entertainment business. If her spouting off dumb (and given the horrific historical ignorance of her comments) and hateful things causes problems for the entertainment company she is employed by, they will be compelled to deal with it.

And they did. It's called Reality 101.

Freedom of speech is just that freedom to say what you want but not in today’s world !
if you don’t fall in line with the leftist ideals your out done fired lol
What a pile of shit ,? What did she say accept expressing her opinions ?
the fact is that if you aren’t following what the radical liberal agenda is these days you will loose your job and it’s not enough for them they want to Shame you and destroy everything about your existence

The left DID boycott Nike and Nike has since changed practices...

Better get on Nike as well then for their past of using what amounts to slave labour in Asia as well. You know that great company that endorses Colin Kaepernick.

Don't forget the NBA too. They won't denounce the government in China either because of their business interests over there. It Might hurt their bottom line don't you know.........

You had bette be careful there Jasmina
You could find your self cancelled for comments like that lol

 

[Danny1832]

She was a meh actor and it was a pity to see such an attractive thicc woman with such ugly views. Only the Alt-Right and Lite-Right snow flakes are up in arms about this. As others have pointed out, her dumbass mouth got her cancelled. When ur in the business of appealing to as many ppl as possible, it’s not a good idea to stir the pot unless ur a heel wrestler.
As for Mando and SW, both have been dying creatively. Expanse (shot in TO) and Raised By Wolves is where it’s at.

Don't I know it!

If you want to work in Entertainment, it's best to keep "a certain groups" name out your mouth.

You have the right to free speech but not to employment and contract breaching.


Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence

[/QUOTE
So you are proving my point lol
She shared her thoughts and they don’t blend well with the extreme liberal views in the world today so she’s out fired and erased lol !
you for one on here are always expressing a very strong point you chime in on everything liberal wonder how you would feel if someone cancelled you ? Honestly I wish they would because I don’t ever agree with you but that’s just the reality of the freedom of speech !! Which I personally love !! You can express you thoughts and beliefs freely without consequences but not when you have more conservative opinions !
to be a follower is one of the most dangerous things in this world imho
What did she really say that was so abhorrent?

Because words are violence right?

Freedoms aren't absolute and never have been. It seems to me that she repeatedly did something that is against company policy. That should be a just cause for termination. If she didn't like those policies then she should never have signed the contract to begin with.
