Also there’s an article going around basically people shouldn’t be fired because they’re conservative which...that isn’t really a thing that happens?
Like, Chris Pratt is probably conservative from stuff we know about the kind of churches he goes to and such and he could have exactly the same sort of views as Carano for all we know. The fact we don’t know that is because he at least recognizes to shut up about it in public.
The worst he’s gotten was to be called the “Worst Chris” which, I mean, compared to losing your spot in a major franchise and the income from that is not really comparable.

The Carano/Shapiro movie will be one of those films that's too shit even for Best of the Worst to review.

I don't know how anyone can physically listen to Ben Shapiro. The guy has one of the most irritating voices I've ever heard in my life. I don’t know, his spoken rendition of WAP and his retelling of his wife’s explanation of the song was easily the greatest comedy bit of 2020. Wait, you mean to tell me he was SERIOUS??!! Oh man, that makes the bit much, much, much funnier!!!

Guessing this alternative/racist Star Wars Shapiro's green lit is going to hinge on other men having sex with your wife because you're a child sized man with no measurable intelligence but in space

Batista dunked on Pratt in public and Chris shut up after that wave of backlash People pick and chose their arguments on how and why someone got fired. It is really simple. What you said was wrong and you kept repeating it. If she said it once and never talked again, she would still have a job Wright still has her job because she shut up. When you don't listen to your peers and you were warned by your bosses, you lose your job just like in everyday life

Shapiro is David Spade's character in the movie PCU as a real boy. I just want to give you props for a hell of a reference. That movie should be much more of a cult classic than it is.

A lot of executives at Disney would be out of jobs if they were being fired for being conservative. They're also not being idiots on social media.

Let's dial the talk about political views and Mr. Shapiro back a bit, please.

Christ's sake, guys, enough. Leave the overtly political figures out of this; I assure you, this topic can be discussed without us having to go down that road. That said: I'm a member of the FAN Goon Squad. We all have our own Retribution style names. I’m “Acme”. People don't realize it, but the Goon Squad is how we pick out new mods.

Gina like many of her ilk are under the misconception Twitter is a foreign word that translates to 'Consequence free message board'

Replace her character with Mara Jade.
Instant social media domination.

What they really need to do is go back and replace every instance of someone mentioning her character's name with Glup Shitto and be done with the whole affair

“What is that over there, by the Disney Studios’ dumpster? Why it’s a huge mountain of shit called “Mt Gina” and there is some horrible hateful things written on it, and look a bunch of assholes are rushing to defend it!”

My take on the Carano deal is a bit nuanced.
Did I find the things she said offensive? Yes.
Did I find them unforgivably offensive? Not really, though one should never, ever make any hyperbolic comparisons to the Nazis for ANYTHING. That can never end well. Why can't people learn that?
Do I think she should have been fired? Actually, yes. Not for any one tweet, mind you. None of her tweet touched any of the real unforgivable third rails that requires insta-bans. What earned her termination was having her bosses repeatedly ask her to modify her public behavior over an extended period of time and she refused to comply with their requests.
Hell, technically speaking they didn't even fire her. They let her finish her current contracted work and then opted not to contract her for any further work because of her continued behavior. Therefore they did her a massive solid despite the fact that she was repeatedly spitting in their face despite them asking her to kindly not do that.
