Most the people replying to that tweet are on the wrong side of what cancel culture is.

People calling for Disney to fire Gina Carano are practicing cancel culture. People saying they will no longer subscribe to Disney+ not so much.

It's kind of funny that one equates republicans to nazis and the other equates them to jews during the holocaust.

I think it's stupid that she got fired over her opinions... I get the firing of Cas Anvar from The Expanse, that shit can not be tolerated. But if you have to fire everyone who has a stupid or unpopular opinion... that feels like a problem.

"This is not someone being fired for some harmless casual racism we all say everyday and recant when caught."

Indeed. No proof of racism at all, AFAIK.

Stupid mask whining, making fun of pronoun listing, and some Godwin's - which has become exceedingly popular in the last four years.

The Free Market at work it is.

I definitely don't agree with calling people pretty tollerant though... I feel it's kind of worrying how so many people ask for the firing of other people purely based on their difference in political opinion. And how a lot of people flat out refuse to talk to people on "the other side". Or, apparently, even watch shows that have people in it of "the other side".

Why are you posting here if you're unaware of what she's being attacked for?

"People are pretty tolerant."

People not on Twitter are pretty tolerant. For some idiotic reason, corporate entities have decided to use Twitter as a barometer of public opinion, where Tumblr migrants are decidedly not tolerant. #FireGinaCarano trended because she added Beep/Bop/Boop to her profile.

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children.

Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,”

as a jewish person, this is fucking vile and unnecessary. gina carano needs to be held accountable. the oppression my people have faced because of our religion and ethnicity is NOT the same as political disagreements.


http://dea...oversial-statement-1234691898/


Gina Carano must have known that Jews controls the movie industry. But yet she provokes them and other people on social media. It is almost like SHE WANTED to be fired from the Mandalorian. Because if she really wanted to remain on her job she would have kept her mouth shut and not upset people. Being a Republican is not like being a Jew in Nazi Germany.


"the government first made their own neighbors hate them"

If anything, the Trump government made Conservatives hate ordinary liberal and left-leaning Americans. And so, being a Democrat in Trump's America was almost like being a Jew in Nazi Germany.

""Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

Merit? Carano was not a good actress. On acting merit, she would have never gotten the job. So, what merit was she hired by? Oh, right, public opinion. Her popularity and likability is what got her hired. Losing that loses her merit for the job.

Trump, has Twitter's revenue faired better post Trump? Short term they had immediate drops.From which the stock price has recovered, I dont think long term its a benefit to get rid of one of if not the largest drawer of regular daily users.

Its prejudice.Im not calling to force them by law, but I can voice my displeasure all I want and bootleg their shit.

Comparing the treatment of republicans to treatment of the Jews by the Nazis is offensive to Jews because it minimises what actually happened to the Jews during the Holocaust - and unfortunately there is a movement that seeks to minimise the Holocaust because they hate Jews.

Comparing republicans to NAZIs may or may not be hyperbolic. Certainly it's clear that there are fascists aligned with trump, who he has courted, and the republicans chose trump.

The quickest way for the republicans to sort this problem would be to distance themselves from the actual fascists in the way Disney is of slightly silly actress/wrestlers/models who post content that (intentionally or not) become indistinguishable from anti-Semitic tropes.

Then they should be able to say that comparing republicans to Nazis is distasteful and disrespectful to the victims of Nazism.

Yes. People frequently decry firings of people who voice innocuous political opinions or bad Nazi comparisons when they open their feed and see it full of political opinions and bad Nazi comparisons.

Arguing the strawman that people are saying firms shouldn't be legally allowed to fire people for bad PR is Boomer-tier.

I understand that it can be difficult to differentiate between general whining, and calling for sweeping legislation, because the loudest typically don't make that distinction themselves.

Gina was fired because she didn't do her Nazi apparently correctly, she should have done it like this guy instead:

"The Mandalorian actor Pedro Pascal took to Instagram to compare supporters of President Donald Trump to the Confederate States of America as well as Nazis.

Pascal posted a meme to his Instagram, which he has now deleted.

The meme reads “Losers in 1865” next to the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.

It then reads, “Losers in 1945” next to the flag of Nazi Germany, officially called the flag of the German Reich.

Finally it reads, “Losers in 2020” next to a Make America Great Again hat."

Comparing someone hyperbolically to the Nazi's is not equivalent to comparing someone hyperbolically to the Jews.

In the latter case, this invariably implies that the Jews were merely being subject to some mild form of discrimination rather than systematic annihilation.

And this is a problem because there are organisations that already do repeatedly try to downplay the holocaust as a form of anti-semitism. So when you do compare yourself or your allies to the victims of the holocaust, it is far more distasteful than accidentally confirming Godwin's law and/or may also be mistaken for an anti-semitic dogwhistle.


Forwyn

lol no. By analogizing herself to pre-Holocaust Jews, she's analogizing the other side to Nazis.

It's exactly the same thing.

She didn't say the left is gassing people. She said they're drumming up hate against their political opposition, in her mind, a precursor to hate crimes.

You can roll your eyes at the comparison, but it's not inherently more offensive, and conflating her with Holocaust deniers because she's right-wing doesn't make it so.

To use your own words:

"Comparing someone hyperbolically to the Jews is not equivalent to comparing someone hyperbolically to the Nazis.

In the latter case, this invariably implies that the Nazis merely advocated for border control and lower taxes rather than the systemic annhiliation of millions of people."

In short, you're being ridiculous.

Yeah, this is saying that Pedro showing caged South Americans right below caged Jews isn't comparing the victimization; it's ONLY a Nazi comparison of the administration.

Ludicrous.

But that's just a doubling down of the notion that the left has a monopoly on Godwin's, right-wingers can't do it, because it's anti-Semitic, because someone somewhere who participates in Holocause denial might agree with her on border control and mask mandates. lol
