- good riddance, couldn't act.tank02
- she was ok most of the time. So weird choosing sharing bizarre social media posts knowing it will end your career.fadein11
- 21th century McCarthyism.
pitiful...gonzalle - what did she think would happen lol, she was employed by Disney ffs.fadein11
- gonzalle go whine somewhere elsetank02
- Awful. Everyone should be concerned by this, regardless of politics.MondoMorphic
- You would only need to be concerned if you were a racist bigot. I don’t have to be concerned because I’m not one of those. Simplemonospaced
- She used nazis wrongGnash
- I don't get what's 'abhorrent' about what she said - she made a tastless and over-inflated comparison, but it wasn't exactly 'abhorrent'.Nairn
- Cancel culture has overtaken rational thinking.
Shame.ideaist - THAT being said, I've done / said some shit I regret, BUT it's human nature to make errors.ideaist
- Complaints about "Cancel Culture" are commonly used as an excuse for overt racism.CyBrainX
- The internet was supposed to accelerate free speech. Instead it has coddled sensitivity.
There is a fine line and we all walk it.ideaist - Actually, I guess it has really accelerated both... Meh.ideaist
- The worst part is her initially confused posts could have helped bridge a gap in terms of if people reached out, but cancel culture strikes. sucks all aroundcolin_s
- Does it really need to be explained that she's hinting at giving the Nazis a free pass on what happened to the Jews?CyBrainX
- Yes, we cancel people sometimes - because their behavior is atrocious.CyBrainX
- Famous ignorant bigot gets cancelled. Everyday ignorant bigots bitch and moan about it. Seems about right.garbage
- Just let these fools just continue to run their mouths poor... Best outcome! Chat shit get banged... financially.necromation
- given the USA is a business, very frightening to think "if you say what your boss doesn't like they'll fire you" is gonna be the next whilecolin_s
- It's sad companies go to such lengths to protect their image. It's a bad precedent and to what end?SteveJobs
- @stevejobs exactly, this is more about the press a woman who said something marginally offensive is going to get for being firedcolin_s
- At what point do we just cancel social media. Does more harm than good.stoplying
- not for he shareholdersimbecile
- I must be missing something, because I really don't see how she's giving Nazis a free pass - she's using what they did as an example of 'her grievance'?Nairn
- you’re not missing anythingGnash
- She simply pointed the nazi-analogizer gun in the wrong directionGnash
- Oh, and the show sucks anywayGnash
- Man, QBN has its heart (& soul) in the notes, eh?ideaist
- a fucking ridiculous situation blown out of proportion by a menagerie of fucking idiots
- it's a Jerry Springer show where everyone's mainlining 'outrage' ...Bluejam - she has a long history of spouting Trumpian nonsense on social media, perhaps it's just a brand not wanting to be associated with that any longer.fadein11
- It's all fun and games until what's being cancelled is "liberal" or "progressive" or whatever woke shit folks are worshipping.MondoMorphic
- The bitch had it coming.....who is she btw ?i_was
- I dont align with her politics, but i can tell she didnt say anything offensive just used ww2 to make a point. There is a cancel culture.cannonball1978
- ^Nairn
- Shhhh cannonball! Only nazis think cancel culture is realGnash
- tHey sTiLL hAve A VoIce!Gnash
- antimask, voterfraud, antivax, nazi references probably don't align with Disney's brand values (esp the Nazi refs lol). It's really not complicated is it.fadein11
- what's amazing is the outrage it causes that continues to feed the twitter beast.fadein11
- This has nothing to do with social media or cancel culture, Disney has long history of only associating with squeaky clean public personas. They have to be 100%zarkonite
- kid friendly and non-controversial at all times, it's what they do. You can find examples of the same shit happening in the 80s...zarkonite
- Mondomorphic is right. Fuck wokeism and its vile followers. All this fuckery is doing is getting us to self-censor. Thought police anyone?? :(cherub
- what zarkonite said, it's just about $$$, not freedumb of speech. Perhaps she will go onto better things, she clearly enjoys the attention.fadein11
- and lol @ people thinking it was just that tweet. Clearly not SW fans :) this has been going on for months/yearsfadein11

- Personally I couldn't care less about her comments, but also have a hard time summoning any outrage over the fact she was fired.yuekit
- She said Alderaan thingsscarabin
- Isn't that Disney's freedom of speech or freedom of association to decide who they'd like to work with? It would be nice if they were more laid back about it Iyuekit
- guess but this is not Nazi Germany lol. it's just a few people at a company making a casting decision.yuekit
- Agreed. Using Nazism as a metaphor does deserve to get cancelled https://i.imgur.com/…monNom
- Disney just doesn’t like the old-times holocaust references. They’re working with a country that puts people in concentration camps today though!Gnash
- noT tHaT ComPlicAted!Gnash
- Well you know some people have claimed Walt Disney himself was anti-semitic.yuekit
- So sure maybe they are hypocritical, maybe they are terrible people but at the end of the day what are you gonna do about it? It's not the government doingyuekit
- this, it's a few people...maybe even one person...making a decision.yuekit
- well at least she only canceled instead of being treated like a jew in the camp. now she has time to spend all that money she made from Disney.pango
- Someone else is welcome to hire her, maybe this will even help her career. In fact someone should cast a movie only consisting of cancelled celebritiesyuekit
- being intellectually deficient can get you blacklisted, apparentlyStoicLevels
- similar to those Expendables movies where they collected together all the washed up action stars in one film.yuekit
- ok b-movie actress. not a great actress. that said, i enjoyed her character in the MandoStoicLevels
- First time I've seen a female action character actually look like she could beat up men.i_monk
- Guise! STOP!
Scarabin won the thread.
move one.zarkonite - If she Cara'd, she would have Dune things differently.
@scarabin may still have won.
; )ideaist - @yuekit "the cancelled". Get it doneStoicLevels
- Cancel culture has lost its meaning. You can’t have someone who doesn’t understand Nazis in a fantasy about fighting space nazis. Not in the mouse house.jtb26
- I did enjoy her in the show. More ripped women doing action. It’s neat.jtb26
- ThE OuTrAgE iS LiKe a DruG!fadein11
- California is an at-will state, which implies that at any moment of jobs with or without reason an employer can terminate you for any reason. Conversation over.imbecile
- lol at scarainteliboy
- Let’s call it Accountability Culture. “Cancel Culture” is a marketing term which reverses the victimhoodscarabin
- It was called boycotting before and it’s nothing newscarabin
- Its cancel culture because it canceled her out of a job.cannonball1978
- Disney having freedom of association or at-will employment doesn’t mean it’s not being canceled. She got canned, lost her agent, and got smeared in the press.cannonball1978
- She cant act anymore after the bullshit character assassination and so yes, thats getting canceled.cannonball1978
- https://i.imgur.com/…ok_not_ok
- If ideologues dont like the term then maybe they should be less punitive in their optics-level moralizing.cannonball1978
- Peak capitalism. Corporate thinks they'll lose money so they fired her.pango
- Bwahaha That zinger deserves a golf clap @scarabinthumb_screws
- If that image wasn't used with the offending tweet it wouldn't of blown up so much.thumb_screws
- woot capitalism!pango
- at the end of the day. it's all about money for Disneypango
- yup, can't be good for a major brand having a Trumptard on board right now.fadein11
- character assassination? no. she posted he ignorant beliefs on a public forum. it's not CA when everyone can read what SHE wrote. she "cancelled" herself.imbecile
- Pedro Pascal's (the actual Mandalorian) sister just came out as trans. If he doesn't want to work with her, game over. What you say and do can create a tense..shellie
- ... work environment, even if what u do or say happens outside of work. that's why many companies do social media audits & have social media clauses for emplomeshellie
- If its in her contract fine. But that tweet had nothing to do with mando’s rl sibling and her tweet said nothing denigrating to any group.cannonball1978
- Fn hold Bill Burr to the same standard then.cannonball1978
- Im not right leaning and the whole thing is a farcical parody. And you all spinning it into “accountability” and other pseudoresponsible terms that dont applycannonball1978
- What did bull burr do? I don't know any of these drama till you guys posted it.pango
- Pedro Pascal has said much of the same things she's said. She wasn't cancelled for his sake.MondoMorphic
- Is it possible people are more sensitive towards comments like hers because of the whole overrule the election, invade the capitol thing that just happened?yuekit
- what did Pedro Pascal say?pango
- also wow she was dropped by her own agency as well. must have pissed some decision-making people.pango
- and apparently, Lucas film has been planning to fire her for over 2 months. twitter was just the last straw.pango
- I was preparing an an outlandishly stupid comment to spice things up but some of you have already taken care of that.palimpsest
- I guess this is what it takes to get kicked out of the Rebel Alliancejmckinno
- Pedro pascal used the power of nazis for good, not evil!Gnash
- and he wasn't an antimask, covid denying, stop the steal conspiracy bleating attention seeking dimwit.fadein11

- Self-aware wolf over here.palimpsest
- On a side note Disney is know for deleting black people from movie posters to sell tickets in China - https://en.wikipedia…jmckinno
- Disney can do whatever the fuck they want because it's a free market, maaaan.palimpsest
- PrIvaTe cOmpaNy!Gnash
- @jmckinno, China didn’t vote for trump so they can’t be racistGnash
- China didn't vote for Hillary either which makes them de facto Trump supporters.palimpsest
- Damn, you’re right!Gnash
- I'm old enough to remember when the big controversy in USA was whether a baker should be forced to sell a cake to a gay person...how the tables have turned huhyuekit
- To compare nazis to anything is nazism. There are things which are forbidden to compare with nazis. Only things which are allowed can be compared with nazis.drgs
- No. Compare is fine. She just missed the mark.pango
- She has RBF but looks like she knows where to get good weedscarabin
- She will be baking piesStoicLevels
- Somewhere in this mess someone mentioned "thought police". Yeah, maybe we should police stupid thoughts, because they lead to stupid actions.garbage
- Because again, she used her platform to promote antivax, anti-mask, and made the absolutely idiotic comparison of conservatives being oppressed like Jews in..garbage
- She had the balls to admit she was a Trump supporter why can't y'all have the balls to admit that's why she got fired?palimpsest
- ..Nazi Germany. Show me that famous historical equivalent where Jewish people stormed the Reichstag, killed some people and the Nazis were like..garbage
- .."Hey it's cool guys, let's just let it heal." Fuck off. Play stupid games with your platform, win stupid prizes.garbage
- As far I know, bigotry is still legal. We should all embrace it.palimpsest
- And if you're worried about losing your job over something similar, you're outing yourself as a stupid person with stupid ideas.garbage
- Exactly, garbage. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
We can all agree on that. Even if we don't all have the same level of hindsight.palimpsest - Disney did nothing wrong!palimpsest
- " if you're worried about losing your job over something similar"
Same as govt surveillance. No need to worry if you're not doing anything illegal.palimpsest - Even when you're not doing anything illegal.
Power to the corporations!palimpsest - Actually yeah...the more I read about this Disney did nothing wrong at all. She posted stuff suggesting COVID deaths are made up, linked to David Icke rallies,yuekit
- QAnon, the usual nutty conspiracy stuff. If some random office worker got fired for that you could legitimately claim it was discrimination I guess. But whyyuekit
- should Disney be under some obligation to make this person the star of her own show and represent their brand?yuekit
- She wasn't the star of the show. If you think people with her views should be fired for sharing them we're going to have an unemployment problem.palimpsest
- They were creating a new show based around her character is what I read.yuekit
- In that case it's totally justified.palimpsest
- Listen to you retards justifying firing someone because they have a different viewscannonball1978
- "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Am I right guise?" It's like you can trace the groupthink through phrases you learned in your social media bubbles.cannonball1978
