Gina Carano fired from The Mandalorian after “abhorrent” social media posts

Not really. She has more influence over the minds of the young watching Mandalorian than I ever will. So firing her was literally the right thing to do.

totally agree with you there. if you drop kick the damn bear, it’s probably going to say ‘oi!’

Yes, you should get fired because you objectively damaged the business’s bottom line as well as directly influenced the job safety of others.

Not because you offended somebody though.

I think that guy has been actually hit maybe 5 times in his entire life. The man is a ghost-fighter. Can’t touch him

LOL I guess

Cancel Culture is fine. If we don’t hold public people up to higher standards, then the higher standards never become a norm.

When it is celebrities, we expect them to have some moral fiber.

Cancel Culture exists in other forms in every other job. If I don’t do my job at work, or harass people, I will be fired. I can still get a job elsewhere, but my company won’t want me there.

If a journalist constantly mis-reports information, they will get fired. Now with journalists they might struggle to get a job elsewhere due to the fact that their work is giving information to the public, and so a record of their work exists, but it is still to be expected (unless you work at Fox or OAN as an opinion anchor, they don’t seem to care much about truth in their “reporting”).

Allowing bad ideas to stay in the light with consequence is exactly how you get to many of the atrocities that we have had throughout history.

And before someone says that cancel culture results in people not being able to tell jokes, that is just a horrible strawman. Look at Ricky Gervais, he tells edgy jokes just as much as the next guy, but he is a decent guy that knows where the lines are. He is more successful now than he has ever been.

When people start refusing to work with other people who have morals, cancel culture will be the least of my problem.
But I don’t think we’ll get there, morality generally moves in the right way. I don’t see us ever living in a society again where not being a dick is considered something no one wants to be associated with.
I’m surprised that we live in a society now where people want others to be able to be hateful pricks without consequence.

This is just an extreme and pathetic straw man that it isn’t worth even getting into.

Maybe i’m misinformed but it looks to me they all committed war crimes. it at least goes back to Daddy Bush and since then they just kept invading more and more countries, and even like Trump not invading a new one I still thinks deserve jail time for not ending the horror

I don’t see how starting wars (with much smaller nations) is subjective, they knew there was no WMD and even if they didn’t, killing by accident (especially multiple people) is still a crime

But that wasn’t the reason they went in for, it was all about the WMD’s, and now 20 years later they are still there.

I do think the war economies of the UK and US are a major problem.

There is also the theory that staying there actually keeps America and the West safe due to the locals then attacking them there instead of performing terrorist attacks in the home countries.

I don’t know enough to argue if that’s true or not but it is something I’ve heard.

So spending 1% of your GDP occupying random Middle Eastern countries is actually a self defence payment.

Also lets all not ignore the fact that the Middle East is such a disaster mainly due to the idiotic country lines drawn up in the name of religion in the first place

“There is also the theory that staying there actually keeps America and
the West safe due to the locals then attacking them there instead of
performing terrorist attacks in the home countries.”

This is quite disturbing. The tactic makes sense, but damn, sending people, willing or not, to be cannon fodder? That is harsh. Although one can argue, it’s the lesser of two evils from the perspective of the US.

Then let’s start a GoFundMe, if gorilla glue girl can start 1 then we can too ???

When claiming someone should be shot into the sun it’s clearly an exaggeration and goes to the point I have no time for them. I’m not literally saying we should shoot them into the sun

For sure, nobody’s invincible.

There are those of us who take offense, deal with it for a second and carry on, and those of us who cry on social media/run to HR about it

Why is this downvoted 4 to 1? It’s true

Same here man. Been many years, and this community is the best in all the internets

Why can’t people choose not to be offended? Wouldn’t that be easier than trying to mute everybody down to the lowest common denominator of tolerance?

I mean that one guy just got banned in this comment section as well. The Mod clearly chose not to be offended.

I agree, he did warn him. But he was offended.

Straighten the pinky and thumb and you got a public uproar on your hands

Which is why I specified “public uproar”, and not something else that could be misconstrued as me being inCiteful.

Ok I am not so clued up “Left”, “Right” and “Alt-Right”, since, you know, pseudo-politcs and all

What is alt right?

I believe it was a way of saying someone who seems right leaning in their poitics but I wanna say Nazi without saying the word but the term is die-ing off, this was pre Qanon. and and youtube back then there was a lot of up and coming channels using the popularity of Trump to talk right wing politics (and doubt many of them actually believed all the bullshit they were saying).

Just another label the right or left was throwing at each other (this one obviously coming from the left)

but f all this BS, as much as I love rugby Tom Brady has proven himself as the best athlete
