Im simply defending his right to ask a question. DGAF about Gina.

Well aren't you a fucking hero.

Without reading the rest of the thread, I'm assuming you're bitching about free speech again without understanding how it works.

Probably because it's an analogy.  But it's okay, you're stoned and I had to study Strunk & White in law school.

Or maybe, I dunno, don't even post it because what good is it going to do especially after you've been told to reign in your tweets.

Exactly. She has a history of problematic tweets (you can just Google it if you're interested) but was STILL in the show and still lined up to have her own show with Disney. All she had to do was not compare being a Republican to being a Jew in the Holocaust and she was golden.

I'd say half the people chiming in against Disney/cancel culture have no fucking idea who Gina Carano is and just learned her name today.

You know, she could have done something that is radical and really, really out there.  It's so crazy, it just might have worked.

She could have just stayed off social media.  It's free, easy, and best of all....you aren't spreading your abject stupidity far and wide and leaving receipts for your thoughts for the world to dig through.

This is a free market, capitalistic decision.  You have a B-list, supporting character being a distraction which may affect ratings and merchandise being cut loose.  She can speak her truth, she also is accountable to the consequences.  A small-time player got shown the door because after the cost-benefit analysis, it found her more of a liability and was let go accordingly.  Who cares?  Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Clearly she was a repeat offender and what she and Pedro did was not the same thing.  Its not complicated.  Everyone here has a gotten a warning and seen how differently those who heed the warning and those who don't are treated.  And there's nothing hypocritical about it.

I didn't see a thread on the topic. The whole "cancel culture" and the overreactive nature of society is stupid. I wish people would try to engage and understand, instead of grabbing pitchforks. At the same time, I believe in the mantra "Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.". Yes you have free speech, but free speech has consequences, and most idiots learn that the hard way.

Hmm...she's got a point. Lord knows conservatives have never fomented hatred of groups for being different or having different political views than their own. Wow, I never considered how unfairly they're being treated. This tweet really changed my mind about this poor persecuted group.

What a dumb example for you to use. Gunn had some old buried tweets that were used against him by internet trolls. They were clearly jokes but yes offensive in a clearly edge-lord way during early twitter days. And Disney did fire him for them. This was his response: 

  Reveal hidden contents

Amazing, no mention of his first amendment rights being violated, no censorship talk, no complaints about cancel culture. Just accountability for saying dumb shit and realizing that life has consequences. And an apology. Sure though, liberal bias is the reason he wasn't cancelled forever.

I have googled and the only two bad tweets I can find are "beep/bop/boop," for which she met with her costar and apologized, and the most recent ones, which was not "antisemitic" by any stretch of the imagination. 

Where is the history of antisemitism? 

FYI I am not defending her because she was told to can the Twittering and she didn't. If I were here, and you paid me millions of dollars to dress up as a space cowboy and say three words a month, and you told me to stop Tweeting, I would not only stop Tweeting, I would get rid of Twitter, throw my phone away, and not even call my parents.

i meant what she got into trouble for before with the trans thing has nothing to do with what she posted today.

Disney is not going to come out and say it but there were reports that Disney was all set to introduce her as the lead in the Rangers of the New Republic series during their Investor's Day presentation in December. They didn't after her previous tweets combined with anti-mask tweets and election fraud tweets in November. She supposedly apologized last week to the Disney brass. Then she posts the Nazi Instagram terrible analogy. So if the stories are right, she was posted something offensive again after she lost the lead in the show. So yes, she was fired because she didn't do what Disney asked her to do. And for that she's an f'ing moron.

To be fair, that isn't what she said. She said it was the community culture of intolerance, that was constructed by social forces, that led to a climate in which the Nazis could do what they did. That's a very different statement. And it isn't all that crazy to say that. But she was not as articulate about it as she should be and the point got twisted into her denying the Nazis killed Jews and that Republicans are like Jews being subjected to systemic genocide. 

Expand  

I wish people that thought like this would go read about Hitler’s rise to power and the extent to wish Jews were demonized and violently targeted in 1930s Germany, before the Holocaust. Then let me know if you still think it compares similarly to the plight of someone expressing a conservative belief in modern times.

Not only are they hypocrites about conservative cancel culture, but they are making a lot of money off of talking about cancel culture. Outkick, Rogan, half the comedians on Netflix, etc. talk more about cancel culture than they do anything else. It is a cottage industry like never before. So they highlight every instance of cancelling that they don't like to the point that it actually seems like an issue. I get that there are instances of cancel culture that are so outrageous that it should be mocked. But it is not the norm. And as pointed out in this thread, most of the actual cancelling is coming from the people that are so upset with it. So once again, every accusation is a confession.

She also liked or has highlighted extreme conservative views about COVID (specifically masking as a deterrent in the spread), the Big Lie and Jan 6th.  Definitely her right to express her opinion or highlight opinions she may find provocative or agree with but again, she's accountable for those actions.  She fucked around and found out.
