who did she push to have cancelled again?

Trans

 

[Trunkage]

Me, personally?

You slightly, someone else way more

 

[Dwarvenhobble]

Trans

No she didn't

Well, when the boys you like are marching through the street chanting stuff like "Jews will not replace us" and wearing T-shirts saying with the message 6 million [Jews] wasn't enough, it's amazing how you're nowhere to be found tutting about anti-Semitism.

So I'll take criticism of Jeremy Corbyn from people who actually give a damn about anti-Semitism.

Funny how you ignored me actually tutting about it before. This keeps happening doesn't it. I can condemn a group over and over and yet no-one remembers.

Also funny how you're upset and me but you apparently were trying to either pretend Corbyn did nothing wrong or really honestly didn't know about the context of the allegations (note: That was only one of many more including more serious claims).

Also rather than condemn said statement you're choosing Tu quoque to try and turn the focus back onto me.

I have condemned the morons before. I condemn them again now.

Your turn

I'm just pointing out that people are being pointed at particular targets that happen to be on one side of the political spectrum. There's a whole Youtube industry that are designed for people to attack others.

It's just not the left as some people pretend. Cancelling happens everywhere. People are trying to cancel Disney right now. It's how this culture war works.

BTW so you're saying you're sticking with Disney Plus and people shouldn't cancel it while supporting the firing of Gina Carano for her tweets?

Got a video for you

 

[Trunkage]

No she didn't

Just let me know what Gina's thought are on Trans people using bathrooms

She never expressed any, so how is cancelling you Disney Plus to maintain moral consistency going?

How about in sports?

I was content to ignore this because it is at it's heart celebrity drama which I just don't care about, but there's been a development that raises a practical issue in my mind.


How are they going film Ben Shapiro walking when he has to stand on a box whenever he's on screen with her?

In the back of my mind I thought how typical it would be if she'd go running off to Ben Shapiro, and lo and behold.

On the other hand Shuri from Black Panther had her little vaxx/trans/fraud rant in December, but unlike Gina she knew to shut the fuck up and quit Twitter.

Her too, huh. *sigh*

Sometimes I'm really glad I don't give a shit about Star Wars, Marvel, and Harry Potter.

 

[Dwarvenhobble]

How about in sports?

unless you've found any such tweets again. No.

If some-one is telling you she did, as far as I can tell they're lying.

Don't worry Lord of the Rings in next with the Amazon series lol

Oh, so the first tweet is the one about pronouns

 

[Dwarvenhobble]

The only tweet people are mad about on the subject you mentioned is the pronoun stuff and and her saying she didn't think trans people would want people sending threats and abuse to others in the name of said group.

And you don't see how getting someone fired for something they said would fit into this definition:

Censorship
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies. Governments and private organizations may engage in censorship. Other groups or institutions may propose and petition for censorship. When an individual such as an author or other creator engages in censorship of their own works or speech, it is referred to as self-censorship.Wikipedia

The statement may still be in the public, for now. But the actions taken against her is meant to suppress, aka, censor such statements.

If it is selectively enforced, there's a problem. I wonder if she has wrongful termination rights in this? I dunno.
Pedro himself posted a picture of Jews in Nazi concentration camps and compared it to illegal alien children in US detention centers, a less apt comparison than Gina made. He isn't fired.

Considering the reports of what goes on in those centers, Pascal's comparison is a lot more apt than hers.

 

[Cicada 5]

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.

The people whining about her being cancelled were complaining about her character being a Mary Sue or whatever before this.

Great. Thanks for the getting the timeline down
EDIT: Just to be clear, I was checking with you that no one did anyone to Gina before the pronoun thing. I was 99% sure so thanks for confirming.

So let's recap what happened

Everyone:.....
Still Everyone:...
Gina: I dont like what your doing and your pronouns and you are all bad for cancelling people
Everyone: WTF? What did we do now? Who was even talking about pronouns to you?
Gina: Because you don't agree with me, your all Nazi
Disney: WTF, Gina

Funny how the opinion pole changes. this is why I always stay away from the reactionary part of YouTube or Twitter. That's the problem: they don't think! All they do is wangst about petty stuff, because they have no action in their lives.

 

[Cicada 5]

I mean the same mob that got Gina fired were trying to get Chris Pratt fired too.
So far they've done:
Unsubstantiated claims he believes in Gay conversion.
Calling for him to be fired for not joining in the Avengers Biden Fundraiser event (others didn't join in too but he was singled out by the twitter mobs)
Accusations he wasn't taking things seriously enough by doing his "What's my Snack" series and not talking about the serious issues in the world. So he did an apology video which was trolling the hell out of people.
He faced the same mob circulated faked offensive tweets trying to get him fired.
He faced the mob outraged he made a joke that the Miss World contestants all looked like they were Miss Hungry

All this move will do is embolden the mob who want Chris Pratt (and others) fired. I mean Benedict Cumberbatch had a fairly public gaff on live TV before which could well result in them coming for him too.

I kinda hope Warner Brothers just hires Carano as a giant screw you to Disney now lol.

I don't disagree with Carano's firing. I do think the outrage towards Pratt was stupid.

...Yes, and?
Do you think that there's hypocrisy in that, somewhere? You think that criticizing a character or the writing means that they wanted her to lose her job?

Because it would speak volumes about elements of our culture being way too sensitive and not being able to handle criticism if you did.
