How did this happen ?

If was given $100k and told I could use it to either buy this and a VinFast VF8 as my 2-car garage or get a few minutes of entertainment by throwing the money in a pile and setting it on fire, I would grab the lighter fluid and make s’mores.

The refusal to acknowledge any possible connection between actions and consequences is perhaps the defining characteristic of the modern conservative movement.

That’s right, Pascal even gave her an out and said just apologize and we’ll move on. Her cancellation came when she doubled-down on her ignorance. Playing the victim card now is weak sauce. If you’re so firm in your beliefs, then stand by them.

“Your honor, I was confused. I thought it was Corey Hart.”

I would love it honestly if they brought her back but just made her a very goofy, incompetent character who’s constantly banging her head on things and dropping bit handfuls of stuff on her foot and then jumping up and down. Just make her the doofy comic relief, kinda like that Simpsons episode where the family…

Definitely more Rousey than Rock. Rock has a big personality and a lot of charisma and that plays. He’s a bit hamstrung by how carefully he curates his public image, which doesn’t allow him to do the kinds of things Cena or Dave Bautista do on-screen.

We’re gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.

When I quit Twitter last year, I kind of realized nobody needed to hear me blather about everything. So now I’m on The AV Club.

And he tried to be nice about it! He was like “Hey I got a sister who’s trans, I’ll tell you a little about my experiences, just play cool about it” and she just refused to take the lifeline.

It’s rare to see someone with her physique get a role in Hollywood, and rarer still for that role to be something other than the “ugly friend” in a comedy. It was cool seeing a female meathead do the stoic badass with a tragic past thing, because that almost always goes to an Ahnold-type dude. Her character got into a…

It’s entitlement. They can’t shut the fuck up and keep their transphobic opinions to themselves because they believe society “rightfully” belongs to them, and are incensed not only that trans people exist, but that their disgust for trans people isn’t considered authoritative.

It’s such an incredibly common problem for conservatives, not being able to shut the fuck up. I have a lot of opinions that many people would find unpalatable. I’m not afraid to share those opinions, but neither do I ever rock up to my coworkers and just start slagging off the police.

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…

Like, how hard is it to just not say transphobic things at your workplace? When your whole job is speaking words other people write for you... maybe you don’t need to say anything else? How does it even come up on the set of the Mandalorian?

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.

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!

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…

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 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…
