Fuck this out of touch bitch. Comparing Republicans to Jewish people in the holocaust was one of her shining tweets that got her shit canned.

I liked her on the mandalorian and xmen. She's not a great actress but did a good job. Just couldn't keep her bigot mouth shut. Andrew tate must be very happy

 

[Mr Hyde]

It's pretty crazy that the one time Disney actually created a good strong female lead in Star Wars, that everyone seemed to like very much, she was fired for having a different opinion

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, @elonmusk a man I've never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit. Thank you Mr. Musk and @X for backing my case and asking for nothing in return.

lmao...trash recognizing trash.

Show me on the doll where the Republican touched you. She doesn't even use the term Republican in the "nazi tweet", it is a political agnostic tweet, unless of course you project into it.

Folks need to get off social media, touch grass, and talk to people in the real world. Have actual encounters and discussions. I encounter almost NONE of the vitrol that exists online when having actual face to face conversations, and even when we disagree, it's obvious when someone feels upset so the topic can be changed.

 

[poodaddy]

Goddamn that little lip bite.....

 

[Little Mac]

Prime Gina Carano was such a hottie.

 

[AJUMP23]

She will have to be in the next pixar movie about space MMA fighters that loses their child and must swim across the galaxy to find the kid. They will call it Star Wors.

 

[SJRB]

Unreal and a mega victory for Gina Carano. Imagine what she had on them that made them do this. Must be devastating.

 

[IntentionalPun]

She was in the process of being shamed for her views on COVID, the 2020 election and her "beep/boop/bop" pronouns.

Maybe "Republican" isn't the right way to paraphrase the meaning behind this but you'd have to be kind of daft if you think she wasn't referring to her situation as someone right leaning in the 2020-2021 political climate.

Of course you could also pretty much align all of her outspoken political beliefs with…. Being Republican.

 

[calico]

Imagine what she had on them that made them do this.

She had the sword of truth and the shield of justice

 

[Little Mac]

We need more of Gina Carano. I remember watching this clip of JRE about her Thai coach telling her she needed to lose weight … for a female athlete her response impressed me. She knew he was telling her she was fat because he cared and she appreciated his honesty and directness.

 

[Muffdraul]

She will have to be in the next pixar movie about space MMA fighters that loses their child and must swim across the galaxy to find the kid. They will call it Star Wors.

As a voice actor? So she'd be "VA Gina Carano"?

 

[AJUMP23]

Maybe there was some stuff in discovery.

 

[calico]

Their utter contempt for half of America probably.

 

[HRK69]

Purple site going ape shit. lol

You weren't lying, holy shit. I particularly love gems like this one:

If this rattles them, they'll implode when something truly serious happens

What a bunch of softies

 

[Coconutt]

[Kacho]

Other than REE and a couple limp wrist dorks here the response to this news seems mostly positive. Good to see.

 

[Kacho]

Jimmy Fallon had Greg Gutfeld on his show and some of the comments on the YouTube clip have the same energy.

 

[JonCarr/]

Wow, the folks at the purple site are delusional. Some of the saddest commentary. I hope they find love.

Wait till they find out Gina and Pedro are actually cool with each other.

 

[Unknown?]

Yes but anti-vax promotion is what started it all. Once she had a little bit of backlash, she doubled down and threw herself down a rabbit hole of hot takes.

And in the end was right about the covid shots.

 

[Rockondevil]

Prime Gina Carano was such a hottie.

Would've loved her as Wonder Woman during this period.

 

[Woggleman]

Comparing cancel culture to the holocaust is bit extreme but it does have parallels to Mcarthyism. The way they looked up Sydney Sweeneys private voter registration is scary.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Voter registration isn't private.

I'm glad cancel culture has gotten more push back myself. In the end though these actors ARE the product and don't think there's anything inherently wrong with being fired over their public behavior. In the end I think what Disney actually said about Gina wasn't remotely appropriate and in they sense they fucked up.

 

[AJUMP23]

Voter registration is public. So our home ownership documents and other things. Anything you file with the state can be acquired through freedom of information for the most part.

 

[Woggleman]

This is true but the way they act like it is some smoking gun when she broke no law does not sit right with me. She committed no crime and I am sick of people acting like she did.

Conservatives might dislike loud mouth liberal actors who drone on and on but nobody is looking at voter registration to try and destroy them.

 

[Themacabre]

Of course you could also pretty much align all of her outspoken political beliefs with…. Being Republican.

Like the COVID ones you mentioned? Those beliefs? Those were aligned with her being "republican" yeah? What would your viewpoint around that align you with?

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yea; in 2021 being an anti-vaxler who said the 202p election was rigged and complains about people using pronouns would verbally align you with Republican.

What world are we in where this isn't true? Lol

And me being in support of vaccines could mean anything really, as there are plenty of republicans who aren't anti-vax.

However the combination of those things certainly paints a clear picture for anyone not being incredibly disingenuous.

There's also the fact that she was a Trump supporter who spoke at GOP events….

 

[Futaleufu]

Very likely body shaming

A bit of a clumsy comparison from her, but I get the point she was trying to make.

Certainly no reason to cancel her. And as for her views on Covid, Letitia Wright also shared anti vax material on social media, yet she wasn't axed by Disney.

 

[AJUMP23]

Very likely body shaming

Probably openly talking about right think and discriminating for not thinking correctly.

 

[Mistake]

The same people who complain about what she said have no issue dropping hitler and fascist at every point and turn. Same shit, different smell. I'm glad things are settling.

In terms of actors expressing their beliefs, well, I'm very conflicted. It can be annoying, divisive, even cringe, but I don't think they should be fired over it. That's wrong, especially when they're not on the clock. If a person does their job well, it's fine.

So the main point is that you are overly concerned with the republican label being the thing she is saying that she and others were being blasted on (which she never did), when the reality is it was indeed her (and many others') beliefs that she was talking about, beliefs for which she (and many others) turned out to be 100% correct on. But your takeaway is the republican thing.

Someone else made a big deal out of Republican being used, my comments were just in response to that.. I'm not overly concerned about anything in this conversation lol

 

[Chittagong]

Yeah her comment was dumb, but not career ending dumb. Disney torching her career wasn't just in response to that tweet, but the fact that the blue haired mob was enraged by her R2D2 pronouns in a time when retarded blue chip corporations would force beardy men state their he/him pronouns in their LinkedIn and mail signature. Insane to think that happened for a while.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm sure they will give her an amazing role.

/s

She got fat and uglier compared to her prime, i'm sure modern disney apprecciate these qualities.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Prime Gina Carano was such a hottie.

Not sure about her fists, but that rear and those sweater cannons should be registered as lethal weapons.
Lord almighty.

Have you checked with the truth arbiter yet to see if your statement is true? Cause if not the department of love, oh wait, I mean ICE will come get you.

Dude, you're one of the most dishonest posters here when it comes posting anything political adjacent. You just like to handwave all the extreme shit that's happened the last 7 months. Its gotten kinda pathetic

 

[Trilobit]

As a European following the discourse online between lefties and righties some years ago I often felt that lefties tried to make them look like subhumans. It was honestly a pretty scary rhetoric they adopted and I can absolutely see where she was coming from.

 

[jason10mm]

She didn't compare it to the Holocaust though, she compared the extreme politicization and alienation of a targetted group to the INITIAL steps the Nazi party took against the Jews, which RESULTED in the Holocaust.

The way you (and others) are phrasing it makes it seem like she said "dunking on republicans is just like Nazi's gassing Jews" which is not what she said. And the fact that folks constantly compare Trump to HITLER for what he says is EXACTLY the same thing Gina said, only coming from the opposite side. This proves her point perfectly. Folks going all radical and being encouraged to do so by governments/institutions (at various levels) is the problem.

Keep it to the issues then. Prove me wrong with DATA and FACTS. Don't try to insult me personally, it ain't gonna work because I can just put down the phone, walk outside, feel the sun on my face, see my neighbors working in the yard, see folks coming home from their jobs, see kids playing in the street, and have TANGIBLE proof that, in fact, things are ok. I recommend that you do the same.

 

[LordCBH]

I love seeing Disney get fucked. And it sounds like they were about to get fucked based on the complete 180 in tone about her.

 

[Little Mac]

Can we focus on what really matters?! And that is sweater puppies.

Did you guys know she was one of the Command and Conquer: Red Alert babes?

 

[RCX]

There's almost certainly an email chain where disney execs were openly discussing firing her based on her political beliefs. Thats what was found in discovery.

Odds are it was full-on woke nightmare fuel that Disney absolutely didn't want out in public. Especially given the changing political climate and their current difficulties in getting any successful star wars product out there.

 

[daffyduck]

I imagine she got a pretty decent amount out of it since she can directly point to losing out on a starring role on that Star Wars show they were going to make around her character.


I see people saying "purple site" and things like it a lot on here recently. Is saying Resetera now banned or something?

No, but how could you stand to type that name without gagging?

Don't bother he's a lost cause.
