She's been shitty for a bit now. Anti-trans stuff, anti-mask stuff, general dumbfuckery...
Considering she's been getting yelled at for general dumbfuckery for a while, it's probably safe to assume she was comparing conservatives to Jewish people in that reference. Not the first time I've seen that and it's always stupid
Disney decided a random side character's probably not worth it. And considering damn near every big name calling to cancel Disney Plus has spent the last three weeks trying to get various High Republic writers fired for their politics, it's probably gonna stick.
She refused to put pronouns in her bio hen being pressured to. Tell me are you a Transphobe because you don't have your gender identity on display publicly here?
Am I?
Is
@Trunkage for identifying their gender as a Cyborg at present?
As for Anti Mask
Perverse perceptions of risk may be helping Covid-19 to spread, say academics Ann Bostrom and Nicole Errett

Public health messaging and science have to work hard to stay in sync during a crisis. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they haven’t always succeeded.

It was a fairly fast flip and kinda funny originally wearing a mask was seen as going against the advice, being selfish and not great. I'm not going to be pissy at some-one asking question when things flipped pretty quickly and more so when they're not in science as see this more as a conformity push. Some people will push against such seeming conformity pushes. I'm pro mask, have been since this thing kicked off. What doesn't help is certain people pushing for mask etc etc then not obeying the rules themselves. Its the perception of people doing this not because they know but just to not stand out. It's the guy with gloves on and a facemask eating chips in the middle of the supermarket with the same disposable gloves on and his mask pulled down.
As for the High Republic writer, you mean the one who basically said "Fuck white people, fuck white women, you're the problem with society and need to get out the way". That writer?
I'm just going to put it out there that the UK Labour Party has just been hounded for years by the right wing press on accusations of antisemitism over stuff much of which was on a similar level.

I think we all understand that if we brought our employer into disrepute or undermined its values in public we would likely face disciplinary action, and most employers make clear what sort of standards they expect. Disney is a media empire that wants to sell cuddly, non-controversial, inclusive media to kids (and adults) worldwide, and the last thing they want are prominent actors in key media franchises screwing with that carefully honed image they're putting a lot of effort - i.e. money - into maintaining. And let's bear in mind this is not the first time Carano has tested Disney's patience.
So although I have some sympathy with Carano for getting fired over a tasteless-to-offensive social media post, it comes with the territory of who she worked for. If she is unaware of the fact that Disney was almost certainly going to look upon her posts unfavourably enough that she might face adverse consequences, she's a fucking idiot.
You mean like Corbyn defending the priest who claimed the Jews did 9/11? Cause sorry that's actually quite a bit more serious. Then again in the USA a democrat lawmaker was mostly fine to keep his job after spreading conspiracy theories about a Rothchild weather machine being responsible for some snow storms.
Ya mean the company that did this?

I'm pretty sure that "wholesome public image" boat sailed a long,
long time ago...
Don't forget they fire most Disney Princesses at 25-27 and some of the insane stuff that goes on with all that stuff at Disneyland and injuries due to costumes etc. Or the poor treatment of employees in general at the parks etc.
Pretty much anywhere if you know where and how to find it!
Did YOU use this intentionally? Because now your equating kids in cages with someone losing their job.
Fun fact, that photo is not of kids in the USA it's from a soup kitchen in Israel and they're not locked in the cage as such.
