Gina Carano fired from The Mandalorian, dropped by agent

[Anonymous]

She was apparently warned multiple times over the course of many months about her social media posts. I don’t know about the rest of you, but my employer (large consulting firm) has a clause that basically says I must be cautious about what I say on social media. If I were warned and continued to post anyway, I would fully expect to be fired.

Sorry, but no. Losing your job after you were warned is not the same as being hauled off to a concentration camp and gassed. She’s not locked up anywhere, she’s not in danger or starving, her family hasn’t been murderer, she’s safe and warm at home and free to continue to post on various social media. So how on earth did this prove her point?

No, this is not true. Her character was really popular. They were planning a spin-off for her and both Jon Favreau (director) and Pedro Pascal (lead) apparently pleaded with her to cut the crap with her social media.

This was entirely self-inflicted.

+1. I am not familiar with her Twitter writings, so may be I need to look at it within the context of all her tweets (but really don’t feel like spending on it) but for this specific tweet, she’s not wrong on the general idea that dehumanizing the “other”

Are you kidding me? This might be the most antisemítico thing I have heard in a while. In case it needs to be spelled out, somebody losing a job is not the same thing as being part of a mass extermination. You can disagree with Lucasfilm’s decision but you cannot agree with her without being anti Semitic.

+1

They fired her because she's a POS.

They can all be in Kirk Cameron's films.

Alongside Scott Baio.

Nothing stopping Trumpsters from starting their own studios, their own distribution companies, etc..

I think there is a conservative Christian film production company. They even had Nicholas Cage star in one of their films. Cage is desperate for money so he's been taking any and all roles coming his way.

Movie was called Left Behind, as in the rapture.

I'm sure this movie company could hire her.

I’m tired of racism and antisemitism being confused with conservatism. There are plenty of conservative people who do not agree with Gina Carano and think she should have kept her views to herself.

That’s Kirk Cameron, as mentioned above.

Also, Disney also famously fired Jemele Hill, who was, ahem, not conservative. Follow your employer’s policies, particularly after you’re warned, or GTFO.

They should replace her with Cassie from Grey’s Anatomy.

You mean Callie, Sara Rodriguez? Good choice. Or the woman knight from GOT. Plenty of excellent alternatives, who'd be stronger actresses anyway.

Brienne of Tarth . . . bad ass. Beautiful. And a fantastic actress. And known for playing other badass female roles (Hunger Games and Force Awakens).

Ugh I really liked her character on the Mandolorian. Very stupid.

I'm pissed. My 16 y.o. DD looked up to that character; it was great to have a strong female lead (both in physicality and mentality) that wasn't stick skinny. My DD kickboxes and was excited about her. (DD not on social media so wasn't aware of the the actress's prior comments)

I wish Hollywood actors would STFU. They are a good example of someone who is an expert at one thing, who then thinks they are an expert in something else. Like the stereotype of doctors who crash Cessnas. "I perform brain surgery so of course I can fly this little plane" But actors have a platform so we all get to hear about their precious thoughts.

Disney fired Chuck Wendig for tweets and he is a liberal. So let's not pretend they are out to get conservatives.

IMO this was long overdue... she was mocking people who were transgender at the same time her costar's sister was coming out as transgender. Who does that? A terrible person, that's who.

She has been saying problematic stuff for a while now... the last post with the Nazi stuff was the last straw.

As far as the show goes, by season 2 she was basically a sidekick. There are plenty other threads they can follow in season 3 that don't include her... the cast was getting a little bloated as it was. And frankly, she was not a good actor, anyway. She really won't be missed at all.

We are fans of the show and liked her character. You don’t see many physically dominant females in popular series. However, what she said was extremely offensive and she deserved to be fired. I’m sure there are other women martial arts professionals eager to take her place.

Firing Actors for Being Conservative Is Another Hollywood Blacklist: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/02/gina-carano-mandalorian-fired-hollywood-blacklist-mccarthyism.html ; for all those piling on, maybe read the actual tweets and story, and think about the unintended consequences that enforcing Liberal ideals has on a liberal society.
