Member Killer Meteor Posted February 14, 2021 Member Share Posted February 14, 2021 Often it's common sense - if your job involves public relations, you have to tow the line And Disney has always been very particular about its employees behave, right back to the 1930s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Koravec Posted February 15, 2021 Member Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) @laagi I think its an absolutely ridiculous situation that barely poses any significance or offense. Im actually against people getting fired for stupid reasons all around. I dont see why employers want to involve peoples personal lives so greatly into their professional persona. Quite a shame. Another instance of companies abusing their power. Ive never liked anything about disney of any period tbh. Id also argue that the causation of firing is quite clearly a result of the state of the world and liberal-intolerance/close-mindedness/cancel-culture, but none of this is really the place for this.

Member kingofkungfu2002 Posted February 15, 2021 Member Share Posted February 15, 2021 I lost any respect I had for Carano long ago, and let's be honest she doesn't strike me as the sharpest knife in the drawer. Did I want her fired? No, not really....Can I understand why she was fired? Yes, absolutely. She's been skating on thin ice for a while now, and I think the holocaust remark was just the final straw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted February 18, 2021 Member Share Posted February 18, 2021 LucasFilm has decided NOT to bring back the character of Cara Dune and there was a planned spin-off series with the character but it's all done. https://www.darkhorizons.com/mandalorian-wont-recast-cara-dune/ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member teako170 Posted February 21, 2021 Member Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Probably get some flack on this, but wasn't impressed with The Mandalorian. Visually, its excellent and some episodes were done well. But overall, the story-line seemed repetitive and I couldn't get invested in the main character. Carano was actually one of the better elements of the show. The last 3 episodes of S2 were decent but the show is no Cobra Kai or Vikings. 2 cents...

If were seriously going off that post alone my disappointment just keeps unfolding, media and liberal portrayal even has enough power to influence people Here? wtf. *We should all be more tolerant of eachother for different perspectives *gets fired...

You know, sometimes it's just better not to say anything, especially if you are managing a "brand". Disney is not a "liberal" company. It's a corporation that acquires profit and uses extremely greedy copyright tactics which I have posted before. There is nothing "left wing" about Disney. They are anti union, anti worker and they exist, as all corporations do, to make a profit. While some people who are extremely wealthy and powerful can "shit post" and get away with it, a former athlete with little acting talent should be careful. I think she thought she was Elon Musk or Joe Rogan, but she's a D list celebrity. If she had real talent, like a Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood https://deadline.com/2021/02/gran-torino-bee-vang-asian-violence-anti-asian-racism-diversity-inclusion-representation-1234696602/ she could probably get away with it. But she is obnoxious, and really, after the capitol was stormed by a bunch of racists who wanted their mighty leader to stay in office, everyone's a little tired of reactionaries. Sorry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres way too many points too correct you on, was going to just say Id respond tomorrow so you wouldnt have to lose any sleep over it. But honestly it narrows down to your own hypocrisy here. Your last few statements come across like your literally exclaiming how upset you are that she leans right and cant tolerate any kind of support for the former president or likewise. Im not even trying to be condescending or anything in responding to you. I just feel it becomes necessary after a while to state the separate viewpoint from the other, and its not easy after lefties have become so convinced of the absolute worst assumptions about the right.

Member Secret Executioner Posted February 23, 2021 Member Share Posted February 23, 2021 People who openly called to murder an elected official still get jobs, conspiracy theorists like Will Smith and his "AIDS was created to eliminate Black people" and other lefty nutjobs still get praised, but don't dare be a conservative. Fuck this woketard culture now making Disney warn people it is ill-advised to watch their own older movies or old Muppet Show episodes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me at least it's just plain stupid. Nothing else I have to add. Yeah, I mean, the Nazis certainly never tried to bankrupt businesses owned by Jewish people or to prevent jews from getting jobs, right ? They never accused political opponents of attacking a building symbol of government to justify abuses of power and the eradication of other parties, right ? Oh I forgot, Trump was Hitler. Because Hitler was widely known for being constantly attacked by a blood-thirsty opposition, by 90+% of the media in his own country (with some artists openly calling to murder him) and he most certainly was a guy who would rather negociate or peacefully stand up to opposing nations rather than bombing them... Oh, forgot that double standard. It's okay to compare a right-wing politician to Hitler, but leftists can't be compared to dictators, even though they never made a mystery that Castro's death was a tragedy to them (some might still be grieving over Stalin's and Mao's passings....) The comparisons with dictatorships are made because it looks similar with how it began. What should be done ? Wait until opponents are deported to concentration camps in Alaska ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member paimeifist Posted February 24, 2021 Member Share Posted February 24, 2021 @Secret Executioner reason has no place in these discussions my friend. There are excuses for all of the hypocrisies that you have mentioned, I can assure you of that. Not reasons, but excuses. “It’s different” and things of that ilk.... Save and protect your energy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member laagi Posted March 4, 2021 Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 @Secret Executioner I don't care if its left or right or this or that. I just don't see any reason to bring up these comparison. Especially from a person who's living in a free society and greatly benefiting from it. Trump is certainly not my cup of tea and that's putting it nicely. But I wouldn't compare him to Hitler. He may use a similar rhetoric to rile up the masses but that's about it. Also I would argue that you don't have to wait for these kind of camps to be built. Not only the US but plenty of other nations already have these in place. Guantanamo Bay coming to mind as one of the more prominent ones. But this is certainly not the right place to discuss our (different) political views. I respect your opinion. I just don't agree with it. Now let's enjoy our time here on the forum and talk about the things which bring us together. Peace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might know more about her than I do idk. Everyones allowed to have an opinion, literally the reason we’re here on an internet forum. I agree that people shouldnt blindly hold celebrity opinions to such high regard, athletes for instance. Why wouldnt you be interested in hearing the thoughts of someone you enjoy watching onscreen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
