"People disagreeing and making fun of my beliefs" is exactly the same as the systematic extermination of millions of people. Yeah, you can f*** right off with that shit. Maybe I could've gotten to know some more extended family if the worst of the Holocaust was the Nazis making fun of people.

Gina us a crush of mine, but I’m not going to lose any sleep over this. It’s just a tv show. And I doubt that she is suddenly going to be scraping for her next meal, though her career prospects going forward may be limited for a while. And honestly, people need to stop using social media like it’s some sort of journal; once it’s out there, it is out there for all the world to see. Time and place for everything, and sometimes you need to just keep it to yourself. I say that as someone who learned that lesson the hard way too many times in my life.

I had someone I chat with on Facebook DM me with some examples of Pedro's tweets lately critiquing aspects of western culture (I think it had something to do with education), as a way of showing how favoured he is compared to Gina, (I'm guessing he was triggered by the news Pedro's heading to HBO to do "Last of Us"), he asked me to change his mind for him.
I told him about the Nazi analogy and he responded with "dems have said and claimed worse" and again cited those Pascal tweets, I mean, sure, left and right do equally dumb things, (and I pointed out the Joss Whedon controversy which occurred 24 hours earlier as a measure of balance) it doesn't excuse Gina's insensitive commentary, strongly worded rebuttals critiquing you are not murder weapons compared to what was utilised on innocent people.
The sap also seemed more concerned that the Fandom Menace will cancel Wandavision. Sigh.

Character Actress Margo Martindale should be recast as Cara.

Lucy Lawless getting the job to play Cara Dune is quite popular on Twitter. I hope they write her ability to fly into the show.

If you're racist and you're fired, it's your fault *clap clap* If you're racist and you're fired, it's your fault *clap clap* If you're spotted in the mob and you go and lose your job You're a racist and you're fired, it's your fault Second verse, same as the first.

I think it's pretty simple, if her bosses told her to STFU and she didn't, then that's just that. Same as any job in the world.

It's weird how some fans of a franchise seemingly have to go out of their way to just ignore the thematic elements of a franchise.
I mean the enemy soldiers are literally called Stormtroopers. It ain't subtle.

It was really a matter of time until she'd open her mouth once too many. No big loss.
However, I can't say I'm really on board with the fans recasting ideas trending on twitter (namely Lucy Lawless or Lana Parrilla).
Don't get me wrong, I like both actresses, but neither really have the physical presence Carano had (even in her heyday, Lawless only looked "big" compared to the other actresses, and thanks to her gear), and I'd prefer they go in another direction : since Disney seemed clearly unconcerned by Carano's acting skills to lead their new action-heavy show, I'd argue for someone more physical, like Mayling Ng, for instance. If she's good enough for James Gunn's Suicide Squad, she'd be good enough for me.
Or maybe a younger, unproven talent, I don't know.

Technically, Lawless is two inches taller than Carano and only about five pounds or so lighter.

See, this is the real problem; the whataboutism of saying "this person said these things, why is that okay?!" to excuse horrible actions and words because "the other guy did it, too". Like, first of all, it never makes a lick of sense 99.9% of the time because you can't compare, say, criticizing western culture with, say, claiming 9/11 didn't happen. Those are not on the same level. At f***ing all. And second, whataboutism doesn't work with claiming moral superiority because you're acknowledging what you're saying and doing is bad. If you decide to bully a guy who bullied you in high school, you're not in the right because he did bad to you; just makes you part of the problem. I dunno, that shit annoys me.

I mean, in that case, the easiest way to put it is this;
If you're using Nazis as an example, it's committing Godwin's Law.
If you're using Nazis as an example of your own oppression, you're committing the act of being a jackass.
