Following that Twitter post, I just watched a few minutes of a moron spitting at his camera on his YouTube account about how mad everybody is at Disney.

Moron, from one side of his mouth: "Cara is a hero for pointing out the political polarisation at play in the country and the demonisation of people who don't think like you!"
Moron, from the other side of his mouth: "These people, these disgusting people from the left bubble, are garbage"

The force is not strong in this one.

That is wrong. The twitter mob was after Gina Carano ever since the september BEEP BOOP BOP thing. It's well detailed, and out there in the medias. Even if you are right, Campea is DEAD WRONG in his timeline. It's not debatable. What he said was just incorrect. And it's hard to believe his timeline as a result. This is all very factual. I provided a link proving it where it's clearly mentionned Carano is being harassed online for the BEEP BOOP BOP thing and that article dates from September 16th. And I remember pretty clearly what happened from back then. So ... there's no debate to be had here on the facts. Ever since that date, there has been a campaign to have Gina Carano's head. No amount of spinning from Campea, or anyone else, can change that.

And Carano says this started months before that. So.......

You're wrong.

If it's The Quarterpounder, he was literally cancelling her since Cara Dune first appeared on The Mandalorian, calling her a Mary Sue.

This is exactly how people go off the deep end with a "political martyr" narrative.

Say something stupid, lose everything, take solace in a few thousand random online strangers having your back for 15 minutes.

6 months later you still don't have a job, and those online strangers are now busy with a different cause du jour. So the only option is to be even louder and more toxic, to get the spotlight back.

Now your career options are basically limited to guest appearances on cable news, so you better use that screen time to say something that will really chum the water.

Round and round it goes.

That's actually what she did. Multiple times.

Look at her comments about trans people for example.

Gina Carano was not "cancelled" for one incident or one bad "opinion". She was fired for a pattern of problematic behavior. There has been rumours about her getting fired for months. I would speculate that Disney told her to knock it off multiple times and she did not.

As I said, she only has her own stupidity to blame. Once again, as I mentionned previously, it has nothing to do with a "stupid opinion", she is spreading lies and hate. That's why she was fired and that's why she deserved it. People use freedom of speech very easily, but they do not even understand what it really means.

Disney has every right to sever ties with her because her opinions don't represent the company, but she's being misrepresented to excuse it, which isn't right, IMO. Take the reaction to her historical analogy that got her fired. Lucasfilm and many major media outlets labeled it as "anti-Semitic." It was ill-advised, maybe insensitive, but certainly not anti-Semitic. Denying that the Holocaust existed or was bad as it was is anti-Semitic. She did the opposite and used the severity of it to clumsily make a point and show solidarity with Jews. People need to make up their mind about what the term means instead of just deciding that someone with different opinions who references the Jews is automatically being Anti-Semitic.

Moving onto what you just accused her of... she didn't make offensive comments about trans people. What she did was add an offensive "beep/bop/boop" to her Twitter profile after she was pressured by followers to add "she/her" and then removed it and addressed her misunderstanding after her costar told her why other people have been adding pronouns to their own profiles. It was a tasteless joke seemingly born out of ignorance, not hate. Somehow, though, like a game of "Telephone," that's turned into "multiple hateful comments about trans people." It's just not true, yet the case against her largely rests on that.

People seem so eager to negatively interpret and misrepresent what she's said and done because they disagree with her opinions. She's not entirely innocent, but neither is Pedro Pascal, who has his own history of social media behavior that could be considered "problematic" if Disney and the folks going after Carano didn't happen to largely share his opinions. Again, Disney has the right to decide what doesn't represent them and to sever ties, but the excuses being made for that are being exaggerated, if not fabricated. Carano doesn't get much sympathy, even from me, since she made her bed, but we do need to be fair to her.

You're wrong.

No you? yay we're back in kindergarten

EDIT: But yeah this speaks for itself. I showed you how wrong you and Campea were and instead of addressing it like an adult you dismissed reality. Good for you...

In your haste to condemn me

Didn't want to condemn you of anything. You implied you might be dumb for not understanding, when the explanation was one click away. You chose to assault everybody with your "tell me this, tell me that" posts.

I for one don't give a shit about what she posted nor Disney's reaction to what she posted. I just find the discussion surrounding the whole thing hilarious.

It's one click away when you know what to look for. Now that I know the name of art piece it is tied to, and artist, I am indeed within one click of finding it. Your word choice is extremely intense with ''assault''... and then you quote something I didn't say.. weird but ok, you do you !

I for one don't give a shit about what she posted nor Disney's reaction to what she posted. I just find the discussion surrounding the whole thing hilarious.

I actually don't even care about Cara Dune... or Gina Carano herself either. I find the discussion important because I'm annoyed with cancel culture and I find this to be the ultimate case of it.

On a lighter note, I think that I may know who's been waiting in the shadows to take Cara Dune's place:

It is time to move on. Everyone has had their say in the whole fiasco, but as of right now she is not coming back to the series. It seems clear this is too volatile of a subject and too close to political territory for this discussion to go well without either constant moderator action or the thread being closed to avoid the hassle.

Here, I found a picture of Grogu on the internet:

I see everybody's trying to change the subject now... Well, what about:

The Last Jedi >>>>> The Mandalorian
I will continue to insist the Disney sequels were not that bad, especially RoS which received an unfair amount of hate.

8

Although they were all good if you want to give 8 a numerical ranking it would be 80.0 or around that range. Too lazy to make a ranking scale.

This is the most offensive thing that I've seen in this thread so far.

The movies were somewhat more compelling and had more interesting characters who were not one-episode throwaways. In addition the movies had more semblance as Rey and friends did hop around the galaxy, but you didn't have to wait until next week to see what crazy wacky adventure they'd be up to next or what "civilization" they'd save (a repetitive theme of Mandalorian). And best of all the movies had droids. The Disney movies for instance brought us BB8, the lovable rolling droid. What kind of droid exists in Mandalorian? Mando specifically says he hates droids. There's one in the first and last episode of S1 but he was reprogrammed. Meanwhile, even the sassy fem bot from Rogue One was somewhat interesting if not a bit annoying with the rhetoric.
