Gina Carano fired

I have heard for YEARS and YEARS that people should have the freedom to run their businesses how they want. I even used to believe it back in my fundamentalist days. To be able to hire or fire people or serve them not. This was the Right's mantra. That it was your business and you had the right to run it the way YOU wanted to.

Now we have this BULLSHIT that a private company with a history of mild gay activism (which the Southern Baptists boycotted them over) can't terminate a contract with an actress who won't shut the fuck up about something on social media. Note: Disney has morals contracts for this exact sort of thing so its not like she wasn't warned. It's not even a decision you have to make on ideology, it's the idea that it hurts the brand of their fucking kid's franchise.

And you know what? It's because the Right is scared of the numbers there because it means that Disney crunched them and found, "Go bigot, go bankrupt" is a bigger deal than "go woke, go broke."

It gets worse because Gina threw away the biggest acting job of her career with 7 figures at least and her own Star Wars show because she couldn't stay off social media. Which even if she was a RAGING BIGOT OR SAINT was something that any marketing manager should have warned her about.
Thank you.

It seems ridiculous to try to boil this down to purely a product of social media cancel culture with political implications. It's not like it's even a hard battle on that front, but the heart of the issue is really more of a conservative entity that isn't conforming to broader conservative agendas with people complaining of hypocrisy based on a leftist standard.

I feel like she did make a mistake, I admit I haven't read enough of her post to make a grand statement. I can say maybe she should have just log some time off of social media instead of doubling down. I also wonder if she was a major actor if things be different, then again that neither here or there. I feel they have the right to do so, and saying it was done by a leftsit mob is nonsense. I mean if she fell for a trick used in grade school, Disney is better off without her.

Yeah but what if she felt alienated as a conservative?

I guess but being a conservative doesn't mean she couldn't have log some time off the social media.

She chose her opinions over money, so she's not a very good conservative.

Let me pose this final thought query before bed.

Ms. Heitkamp said this because she doesn't want to "normalize Trump." They are doubling down instead of trying to understand how he rose to prominence, because that's good for business and political corporatism. They profit like pigs off our divisions.

So how is the right in the wrong to be concerned over the direction the country is going? Don't hit all the blue checkmarks to crush dissent, "racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic," and whatever. That it's only ignorant religious churchgoers who feel this. I mean, when the fascists come in to seize everything, they are going to be using soft, friendly language or a seemingly good cause. Corporate and government expansion is reaching a zenith peak, and Mr. Biden won't be able to stop it. Mr. Trump never wanted to.

Do you want to choose between a fictional world you love or support corporations becoming new dictator states? Because I have heard the left accuse similar to the right before, that when they support businesses with a clear policy of some kinda blue checkmark, "racism, sexism," whatever, that makes you racist or sexist, that makes you a terrible person, etc, et al.

Personally, people can support whatever business they want, and a business can do whatever they want, is how I see it. Some products are worth it. It just enrages me so much to see yet more division from people who claim to oppose Mr. Trump by spreading lies and slander. This country ain't going back to normal for a long time.

So you're saying she should take money along with hostile work environment?

Very true but this all kinda hinges on if you're just overall salty about what happened to the legends books. Amirite?
