Another actress canceled by Disney

It is amazing how quickly bullies will claim to be victims when they can no longer get away with victimizing others.

Hating people for their political beliefs is completely different from hating them for their ethnicity. According to her reasoning hating Nazis would be as bad as hating Jews. The absurdity of her argument should be self-evident.

Not to an employer.  Expressing hatred for someone else's religion or political affiliation can legally get you just as fired as if you had expressed hatred for someone else's ethnicity, gender, or sex, even if you do so while "off the clock".

The fact she wrote that Jews were beaten in the street by neighbors than by Nazis, why did she write that and what was her intention? Was she trying to water down what happened to them and trivialize it and be a Nazi sympathizer? Why were the neighbors beating them in the streets in the first place?

In high school we learned there was propaganda and lies spread about Jewish people and people fell for it. Even propaganda films were made too about them. One of them was showed to me on youtube by an online friend and it was to justify what the Nazis were doing to them back then.


I have seen twisted logic like "A didn't kill B because C, D, E, and F did" when in fact A had hired C, D, E, and F to do the murder for A. Yes A did kill B and those who also killed B will also be charged with murder too but A will get a bigger sentence because A was the mastermind of the whole thing. This was basically what Gina Carano was doing.

Yes because they do not want that sort of person working for them and plus it makes their business look bad and reflects badly on them. This is all about their business image and their reputation. It's called capitalism. Funny how it can go against these crazy right wingers for their "freedom of speech" lol. How about they fight for socialism? Then they can still continue saying racist things lmao because they won't need to worry about needing to earn money if a basic house will just be handed to them but good luck with a limited life and a boring small house. They sure can't have it both ways.

This is where the term selfawarewolf comes in.

You might find that dismissal for expressing hatred not only occurs in "capitalist" businesses, but in "socialist" charities, as well.  Nobody wants a bad reputation; especially certain websites dedicated to people with autism spectrum disorders...

This is reports on what she said: Gina Carano fired from The Mandalorian after 'abhorrent' social media posts

But apparently other statements as well. From the same source:



I feel sorry for Carano. As a public figure and essentially a spokes person for not only herself, but also her projects, this type of speech is not going to create a lot of sympathy. I would not make public comments without careful consideration. You might be held accountable. Basically, it is called being professional.

↑ Holocaust denial, homophobia, scientophobia, AND conspiracy theories?

Why the hell did Disney ever hire her in the first place?!

I think quote was the problem. She thinks hating Jews is the same as hating someone for their political view?

When you make these comparisons, people will get offended like how LGBT people get offended when conservatives try to compare themselves to being gay or when crazy ABDLs have tried to compare their fetish to being gay or trans to justify doing it in public and wanting everyone to treat them as a child or toddler.

I have even seen conservatives compare themselves to Jewish people being pushed into a ghetto for their political beliefs and I was like "wow, just wow." They really think it was that bad they are dealing with now? I can see Jewish people taking offense at this as well.

They could have at least toned the response down. But at the same time anti-Semitism is unacceptable and must be punished. Maybe not this harshly though...

But that is not what is happening. Disney has made a business decision not to employ a professional actor because that actor, who is a defacto representative of that organization, used their public platform to propagate ideas that do not coincide with the company's values. They are not punishing her. She can still say these things. She can still find employment somewhere else. The problem is her unprofessional conduct cost her her job. I am truly sorry for her.

That was my point.

Sorry for being a bit dense but could someone please explain why is this quote bad?

Because she was trivializing how bad it was for the Jews. She thinks being judged based on your political views is as bad as hating on Jewish people. That was very offensive.

Six million Jews were systemically murdered by the state because of their religion. She is saying that being a conservative in the US today is the same thing. Equating the injustice faced by the Jews in NAZI Germany to the environment faced by US conservative is stupid and marginalizes the experience of the Jews at the hands of the NAZIs. US conservative are not having their rights systemically stripped, their belongs and property confiscated, and put in concentration camps to be murdered. That also implies that that US liberals are attempting to do that.

I agree it is a really stupid and ignorant argument. But you would expect a professional to behave better.

Thanks, that makes sense. I read it as meaning it could be the start of people being treated that way again rather than saying it is currently the same.
