People complaining about "cancel culture" is stupid as shit. Like, I'm going to call it; either you know the horrible shit you're posting is horrible or you're so unimaginably ignorant that you probably shouldn't be on social media anyway. And honestly, it takes away from the actual instances of this type of thing where 10-15 year old posts get brought up out of context purely to slander someone. THAT is shit that needs to stop. This, though? Get out of here with that. It really is fascinating too because this is exactly what happened to James Gunn and Disney overreacted and fired him from GOTG3, then months later they hired him back after so much fan support. Here, they gave Gina a second chance and didn't just fire her immediately, then she stuck her foot in her mouth again and they, rightly, fired her.

After everything Sonya's dealt with, not sure exposing her to the kind of backlash and harassment she'd get from the dark side of the fandom would be the best idea.

Seeing a lot going around for either her, Jordynne Grace or Nyla Rose and whilst I’m not sure they’re suitable, it’s sort of nice to see some backing for them to get it if they go that route in recasting.

Replacing a racist transphobe with someone who has shown nothing but support for the trans community and racial inclusion? I can go for that.

We all have our own Retribution style names. I’m “Acme”. I'm Twister. “I’m Cilantro.”

She just kept flushing all her chances down the toilet.

I do find it kind of hilarious that the same people that decry “cancel culture” are the same crowd that have spent the last few years trying to “cancel” sports and celebrities. “Freedom of speech” isn’t freedom to spout vile bullshit on the Internet...especially since it doesn’t really apply in this case. It also doesn’t protect you from the consequences of your words. Any one of us could do what she did and get fired from our cushy Taco Bell gig because they have every right to do so since we’ve become detrimental to the company...much like she has. Not to mention most companies make you agree not to be a shithead on Facebook and the such so you never put them in that position. If you get told to stop saying shitty things and decide to post through it then it's not cancel culture, it's being an utter moron.

Their argument in a nutshell: "Wah! Disney hired Gunn back for making offensive jokes but won't rehire Gina because she offended people! What hypocites!" "Gunn admitted his wrongdoings and apologised. When Gina apologises for her wrongdoings, I'm sure Disney will reconsider." "Why does she need to apologise?"

Carano keeps continually saying it.

And of course many of the Gina defenders (who are mostly the same people who complained about the level of female representation in star wars since the sequels) have tried to play the 'disney supports child abuse' card in relation to Gunn in an attempt to the moral high ground.
And as someone who has worked a lot with survivors of child abuse, these c***s can f*** themselves with their insincere bullshit.

We need to start keeping track of former MMA fighters in other careers and whether they turn into douchebags or not. I'm seeing a trend here and I don't think being punched in the head for a living is good for your personality.

Shoot that means I'm due for a self destruction too haha

"Gunn admitted his wrongdoings and apologised. When Gina apologises for her wrongdoings, I'm sure Disney will reconsider." "Why does she need to apologise?" All she’d have to do is apologize to fans and make nice for a little while and they’d probably have her back in a season or two. The question use heather she will do that or not.
