Gina Carano Fired From Disney and The Mandalorian

[Blue Falcon]

Gina Carano will no longer be in the Mandalorian. I will not share the details due to Steam rules, but look up the tweet that resulted in her termination.
This is just WRONG. It's not because the character is necessarily indispensable, but because of their reasons for taking her off. Disney has gone too far this time.
To repeat a tweet, "This is not the way."

If every artist was fired for being ignorant and dumb we'd have next to no people in art and entertainment. I have lived long enough not to have a high opinion of these people.

try getting into a hollywood party with that attittude...lol

I think all the off script Twitter nonsense broke all illusions of the rich and famous. I remember the time they did controlled interviews on the small screen. I think I should start a PR firm for celebs called "STFU and Smiley and co".

引用自 Holografix：

There's always a group of people reacting badly when a celebrity tweets something so off-putting, so tone-deaf, that their real life suffers as a result.

These reactionaries decry an abuse of 'censorship' or 'free speech' or some hybrid hodgepodge notion of the two, and immediately take to social media to cancel the "cancelling."

One would think that those rallying around the idea of "total" free speech would respect the company's speech to "practice what they preach" and effect real life change -- namely, by removing an obnoxious person.

Apparently, these reactionaries believe that "at the end of the day" offensive tweets are nothing more than words, and words are nothing more than ... words? Yet they defend that "nothingness" of words as though their words should matter. Highly perplexing.

The reactionaries also forget, in their infinite wisdom, that celebrities work in the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY which is about "entertaining" and not offending people with their piddling opinions.

Except this wasn't tone deaf.

Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors...even by children.

Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views

That's the tweet that ended her career. She's essentially saying Bigotry is bad. And Hollywood's response? Bigotry is good!

Lucas films tweeted this.

Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.

She wasn't denigrating anyone based on their cultural or religious identities. She was simply saying this is what leads people to do bad stuff in the past, and it could go that way in the future.

And it could.

So you know all the right things to say and how to say them? Are you gifted with a 'silver tongue?'

Gina Carano

why am i not surprised that you're part of the reactionary group that swarms social media to 'cancel' the 'cancelers.'

[Devil`s Rejected]

Oh, look a talking point.

Would you believe that I'm one of those people who think we should embrace cancel culture instead of being afraid of it?

The only way out of the storm isn't backwards, it's through the eye of the storm. It will only get worse before it gets better. People should be pointing out that they were sexist for firing a woman for speaking her mind. Or possibly antisemitic because we all know Disneys early roots does have Nazi links.

The goal of that movement is to make company so afraid to be political that they stay out of politics and just worry about making money.

Steam did that, and I'm very proud of them as a company for doing it. Black Lives Matters had a few developers that tried to get Steam to endorse their movement, they wouldn't, and those developers pulled their crappy games. Steam remained non-political.

*raises my beer in toast to Steam

Why does a strong woman with her own opinion scare you that much?
