Both are big states with a lot more sociopolitical diversity than our impressions of them. Especially CA. The Religious Right was literally created in CA.

Going off the trail in Yellowstone could have turned Pierce in to James Bond broth.

Its that time honored misunderstanding of the concept that “Free Speech” only applies in America when one is speaking against the government. It doesn’t hold in any other area of American life! Consequences exist with the freedom to speak, whether its a co-worker or an employer — you CAN be fired. Even if you speak…

The whole “I don’t know what’s so wrong with what I said I’m just a smol little guy who didn’t want to make people mad” is just another shade of “fuck your feelings,” and I’d love it to be recognized as such someday.

Carano is currently suing Disney for wrongful termination and discrimination. Does she have a case? Who knows. The mysteries of the law are beautiful and strange.

They fired Jonathan Majors literally hours after his conviction. They remained mum until that morality clause could kick in.

When I quit Twitter last year, I kind of realized I didn’t care about any of this crap and nobody needed to hear me blather about everything. So I look at celebrities ruining their reputations ‘cause they can’t help themselves, and I just think it’s so unnecessary. Just shutting up is totally an option!

This! It’s pretty much the most inconsequential thought to have about the whole thing, but whenever her name comes up I wonder why they picked her in the first place. I like Haywire and she wasn’t good (and dubbed) in it, and there wasn’t much other work to speak of. The idea that a spinoff show was even floated is…

Yep. This shit ain’t hard, unless someone is an ostensible “adult” who wants to argue that the mutually agreed upon rules & regulations (i.e., don’t like the terms, or the code of conduct? Don’t sign the contract.) don’t apply to them.

I’m basically an accountant so that means I can work in most any industry. I haven’t ever worked for a company in PR, entertainment, etc. and we still had social media “guidelines”. Hell, even waaaaay back when when I worked retail as a stocker before social media, we had a mandate to never speak for the company when…

There were also rumors that she was saying transphobic things around Pedro (whose sister is trans). She was warned by her agent and Disney multiple times to stop tweeting and saying stupid shit. She was given three chances to change, and she decided that standing up for her right to be an ignorant moron was more…

I hate Disney as a company. And I REALLY hate idiots like Gina Carano and Ron DeSantis who force me to take Disney’s side.

She could have had it all. Unlimited Disney dollars, her own spin off show, merchandise, long lines at Cons, bigger and bigger roles. Instead she threw it away for a handful of shitty right wing movies nobody saw and a few pitiful Cons

I don’t understand why she even wants the gig. As a nazi why would she want to play antifa anyway? 

Hell, it’s even simpler than that! Her employer reportedly told her to cut the shit - multiple times - and she decided that preferred pronouns and “this was just like the Nazis” were hills to die on.

I think part of it is for her and others like her is that she was getting all this praise from the very vocal minority(transphobes will not stop talking about being transphobes, look at JR Rowling who had made it her entire identity) and seems to have thought that they representing a lot more people than they were. So…

Hooray, you climbed to the top consider yourself a success! But while you were right on this, doesn’t mean you are right on everything, you idiot. You may be considered a hero in one place, but you are still the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

I love that her lawsuit stipulates that Disney has to hire her back and write her back into the show. Good luck with that lady.

It’s honestly like something out of The Twilight Zone, where she was so certain the extreme right wing fans would have her back that she could say all this stuff and still have a comfortable career, but then finds out they’ll never accept a big strong woman in their movies because it’s “woke.”
