Sad to me because I did like her ability to look both beautiful and a woman not to be messed with. She’s a former MMA fighter and I like female MMA fighters that prove that women can be just as physically strong as men.

They have to maintain a family image and having a nutjob on the payroll will hurt them.

Did she do her job on on the set?

This gives wingnuts more ammo for the cancel culture assault.

but I tend to agree with you. I liked her in The Mandalorian. I mean she just kept touching the rail with social media. It is almost like she wanted to be a martyr. I hate seeing martyr's created. Her post was ignorant and hurtful. I would prefer to see some opinion show with a more liberal bent invite her on to explain her position.

We aren't going to get anywhere without talking to one another.

... was intimated by comparing Jewish persecution in Germany to MAGA's currently being seen as assholes among those who like democracy and shit not being on walls.

MAGA's Terrorist who attacked the capital are assholes who are expressing their ignorance and at least a base ability to be extremely gullible if not outwardly racist.

I don't believe I have to type this here

She knew what she was doing. But even the main star Pedro Pascal was done with her because of her transphobic behavior and his sister is a transwoman.

"This gives wingnuts more ammo for the cancel culture assault."

That sounds precisely like an excuse to do nothing. Do you then believe consequences to a consistent and regular negative action should be tempered simply because it may give others ammunition to criticize holding someone responsible for their words and deeds (which again, sounds precisely like a win-win scenario for the RW... who get their cake and east it to in your scenario)?

If not, what is the relevant and precise difference?
If so, should your sentiment be applied consistently (e.g., impartially and equitably) or is your admonition against consequence peculiar to this specific case only?

Take your anti semitic, transphobic horseshit to the nearest right wing podcast. All you'll be good for now.

24. Gina Carano Was Purposely Cut from Those Big Star Wars Announcements Months Ago

Feb 2021

Disney made the decision to cut this lady loose a while back https://movieweb.com/gina-carano-fired-months-ago-star-wars/?fbclid=IwAR1a9jANRu8BLuKKPqhrQq8Kc4h8T-t_MRK1Z81qOOypCfDdn9QauirN-78

The trending news of this Wednesday night was Lucasfilm firing actress Gina Carano from not only The Mandalorian but also effectively ending the chances of her appearance in future Star Wars projects. The step was taken after she posted several controversial social media posts that garnered a severe backlash, prompting Lucasfilm to severe ties with her as they found them "abhorrent and unacceptable". But as per a recent report, Carano didn't just lose her role as Cara Dune in the hit Disney+ series but also the opportunity to lead a Star Wars series, most likely the recently announced Rangers of the New Republic, which was in the pipeline before she got all tangled in controversies.

Since November 2020, former MMA fighter Gina Carano has been attracting social media ire through her controversial posts that started with her mocking the need for wearing masks amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, transphobic tweets, followed by her spreading the false news that voter fraud has occurred during the recently held presidential elections. #FireGinaCarano has been trending for a long time as fans of The Mandalorian constantly sought her removal from the series as her contentious posts continued.
