The Mandalorian's Gina Carano Will No Longer Be Part Of Star Wars

I love how the "editorialized" follow-up to this story disabled comments. You post a story with editorial angle and make sure no one can respond to it. But then, editorializing is a rule against legitimate journalists.

@ ID0ntKn0w7 well I am a teacher and I do visit strip clubs so its comforting to hear you will have my back if I was every so stupid to post anything stripper related to my Facebook.

If I did such a thing however, I expect their to be consequences from my employer for upsetting their customers and I’d most likely be dismissed.

I would probably accept that and wouldn’t cry that I was being persecuted for my beliefs in worshipping strippers and practise of visiting legal strip clubs.

Free speech, free market and consequences for ones actions (personal responsibility I think it’s called).

she was super dumb.... when will people learn especially if their skin tone is on the lighter side of the spectrum... it is never a great idea to do general comparisons to slavery and the holocaust.. Those 2 topics almost always get you put in social time out... the sad part about it is that no one really cares what your politics are... You're an actor... just go act... be the best actor you can be so you can secure that bag. She was actually getting some recognition... she might be the female Rock one day.. now... she is just gonna be some one hit wonder that we forget about. I hope this doesn't happen. Wish her luck. Freedom of speech is not nor has it ever been free.

I find it interesting that Disney drew the line at what Carano said, but ended up re-hiring James Gunn and his paedo "jokes".

And I can see this from two lenses; one is political as Carono is conservative and Gunn is liberal. The other is monetary. Gunn would stand to generate much more moolah for Disney than Carrano.

@rikku45 haha cheers man, I’ll hold you to that :D

If she perhaps maybe come out and publicly apologised, it would have gone a long way and been harder for Disney to fire her. Only problem is it doesn’t sound like she is the kind of person to do that as she has doubled even tripled down on if you look at past comments.

The sad thing is we are all about acceptance and love and hugs etc yet aren’t willing to forgive people for messing up if they actually feel remorse for what they said.

Bahh..... Free speech... its overrated.

Very hard to have any sympathy for her.

I'd imagine PR reps from Disney have been pleading with her for months to tone down the social media posts.

What a dummy!

If I were your kids kindergarten teacher and I went to strip clubs every night and posted this to my social media, would you the same people crying “cancel culture” defend my right to express myself without consequences from my employer (school) for upsetting their customers (parents)?

I feel like the correct response from Disney would be something along the lines of; "Gina's views are her own and do not represent the views of Disney."
