She's dumb, but actually has a point


Ok, she's rich (probably bigoted or entitled?) so probably doesn't need the money.

But dumb - could have been professional, kept a lower profile and had her own superstardom. But f***ed that up.

But good point- why should we all fall to our knees and AGREE with the constant brainwashing of LGBTBBCCIAMI5 and Trans-this/that????

In democracies, don't we have free choice and thoughts/opinions??

reply

Bowing down to a totalitarian system and let it have its way with you is not "being professional", it is being a coward.

She did everything right.
Every single tweet is totally fine.
She is not the problem, the leftists are.

reply

isnt a totalitarian system what you right wingers want?


any attempt at freedom of expresiion , equality or womens rights is just lefty commie bullshit in your book

reply

See, this is the problem, hopeless idiots like you who hate someone and do not even know who he is.
If that is your honest idea of a "right winger" I don't know what to tell you.
What rights are women missing in the western world?
Are you fucking kidding me right now, women's rights!?

How are right wingers that CONSTANTLY fight to uphold and protect the first amendment against "freedom of expression"?
How are right wingers against equality, and in what way? Are you talking specifically between the sexes, are you talking social economical, and where are there any differences?

Next you will probably mention the gender pay gap or other idiotic myths that have been debunked years ago.
But no, instead you chose to stay ignorant and hateful and attack everyone you consider a "right winger" while not even knowing what a right winger is.

Take a step back and reflect, you're doing it wrong.

reply

I'm talking about the COUNTLESS threads on this site bemoaning the fact that women or non whites have taken a role that a white man could have played on screen.

That to me is inequality and sexism

I'm forming my impression of what a right winger is , by discounting all the things attributed to "leftys"

see example in OP
" brainwashing of LGBT" a lefty invention , i therefore conclude rightys are anti-trans
i see countless "lib-tards want immigration", i conclude rightys are anti immigration
i see countless other posts whining that "lefty commies want xyz"
and conclude that rightys dont want xyz

I *really* would like to see a list of which values fall on which side of the fence apart from the one ive mentally compiled myself



reply

I'm economically on the left.

And i'm immigrant.

the right doesn't say "libtards want immigration" they say "libtards want illegal immigration". And no one in his right mind would want unchecked, unlimited illegal immigration, like the libtards want.
"brainwashing of LGBT" that refers to specific aspects. Like allowing 5 years old to transition. Or saying transwomen are women.

You are biased and brainwashed ...

reply

"i therefore conclude rightys are anti-trans"
I stopped reading here (no really, I did, I'm not just saying this).

If you are unable to see the world in anything but black and white and are unable to differentiate between people criticizing a blown out of proportion "gender movement" that stops at absolutely nothing (hormone treatment for toddlers etc.) and that these people are not necessarily "anti trans-gender", you have massive issues you need to resolve before this could possibly lead anywhere constructive.

For example, I am strongly against BLM as an organization considering their true agenda has nothing to do with what they openly claim and instead their goal is a marxist revolution trying to overthrow the US' democracy.

Does that mean I am "against black people", or does that mean I am able to think for myself and am able to differentiate between a false flag cause that abuses those it pretends to protect and actual race related issues.

I am against abortion.
Does that mean I "hate women"?
Or does it mean I believe that the new life inside any woman also has the right to live and prosper and that no "mother" (this is a term a woman needs to earn in my opinion, just like father) should be able to casually get rid of it because "it is inconvenient right now"?

The world is not black and white.
People who aren't blindly cheering on BLM or LGBTQ parades aren't necessarily "hateful bigots", they have the same right to like and dislike things and to have opinions on things - just like you.

The difference in general between left and right wing seems to be that leftists try their utmost to change laws and regulations to silence their political opponent, while right wingers understand that you are entitled to your opinion and whatever political affiliation without backlash.

We can agree to disagree.
But when you start to tell me how to write, speak, think and feel I will not let you quietly have your way.

Brilliantly said. Wish more people saw it this way. The fact that some people are cheering on censorship and banning in this country disgusts me to no end. Never thought I’d see a time like this. The most ridiculous part is, it’s these progressive morons claiming to be “fighting fascism” who are cheering on this pathetic cancel culture of banning and censoring anything they don’t like. The irony is unreal. Hopefully people keep fighting back.

reply

Socialists are using this trick since forever.

My country, Germany, was parted for a long time as you probably know, the Eastern part belonging to the Soviet Union. They, the GDR, basically used the same system and kind of propaganda the third reich used before, only switching out some terms. They even had their form of "Hitler youth", to indoctrinate kids as soon as possible. They had their secret police that would blackmail, kidnap, torture and even murder people.
They kept their people in-country by force. Trying to "flee", would result in being shot, or if captured alive, years of prison along with the torture and usual psychological terror, including repercussions for family members, like losing your place at a university or other privileges.

Fun fact: What you perhaps know as the "Berlin Wall", was called "antifascist protection wall" by the GDR government... yes you guessed it, the free western world next door were the "fascists".

Capitalism and a free market might not be flawless, let alone perfect.
But for fucks sake hearing all these idiots being pro socialism without, obviously, ever reading a history book scares the shit out of me.

reply

Nope, the right wing want less government and more freedom, it's the opposite of totalitarian ...

Like the freedom to say what you think it's right.

reply

Which totalitarian system?

reply

The system the radical left is trying to install step by step.

Forcing everyone to speak, write and behave however these people see fit.
Creating a "world of outrage" where everything you say and do will be offensive to someone somewhere.
A world of 70+ "genders", a world with legal consequences when you refuse to use someone's fantasy pronouns.

A world where you get harassed and lose your job just because you have a different political opinion - see Carano.
No one so far could explain why her tweet(s) were so super harmful and problematic.
Everyone just parrots the outrage without a single argument.
And more importantly, everyone who bashes Carano stays silent or builds a quick straw man when asked why Pedro Pascal still works with Disney considering his way more radical tweets of the same nature - just "from the other side".

The left: It is okay when we do it!

reply

So she refused to bow down to something that doesn't exist right now. But it is something she fears in the future.

Got it.

reply

Are you stupid?

She was FIRED for not bowing down, that PROVES that the system EXISTS right now.

reply

She wasn't fired. If she was fired they would have said "We have terminated our current engagement with Gina"

She was not going to be asked back. When the media asked LFL about her "Republicans are like the Jews and people who don't like as are like proto nazis" meme they were told the facts that she was not employed by them (Which is a fact. She wasn't under a contract with LFL. ) And that they weren't planning to employ her again. (Which Carano knew months ago)

Everybody is assuming that Cara Dune was going to be in further shows. There's been rumours. But apparently that possibility was considered for about ten minutes some time ago. Nothing was planned.

So she wasn't fired. Like if you take a summer job one year. Doesn't mean you've been fired if you don't get hired for the same job the following summer.

LFL is a coprporation. It is not a totalitarian system.

Governments are totalitarian systems, sometimes. The government has nothing to do with Gina getting fired. Except in an oblique way if you count her giving support to the scam man's baseless election fraud lies.

reply

Anything that has power over you and limits your options that it shouldn't IS totalitarian. Government of corporation.

reply

Like the law? And the constitution? And gravity? And morals?

How about property? The concept of property limits your options and has power over you.

reply

THAT IT SHOULDN'T.

reply

Who says that it shouldn't though?

reply

Creating a "world of outrage" where everything you say and do will be offensive to someone somewhere.

see, that could be interpreted as
"I harbour a lot of extremist offensive xenophobic views , and i'm puzzled why some people dont like it when i spout off"

reply

It's ok if you don't like it.

It's not ok to get that person fired or canceled because you don't like it. Get it?

reply

I agree that children coming from wealth feel entitled, but what makes you think they are bigoted? Out of guilt, or whatever, that demographic is more likely to be rabid SJW than your typical black person.

reply

Claiming that people with her views were just like the Jews in pre war Germany was a bad point.

reply

Truth is Bad. Did you read that in 1984?

reply

She likened people criticising her views to the antisemitism of the 1930s.

reply

The post wasn't about Jews. It was about totalitarian ideologies... Like the one Progressive Left is growing into.

reply

it wasnt that deep ,
she was just moaning that idiot right wing trumpeteers were , in her eyes, being villified.
i.e cant take a bit of criticism.


Disney isnt goping to run a year long philosophical investiagation into political science to pick out any true menaings that she might have ACCIDENTALLY struck upon.

Theyre just going to think "This loudmouthed politcal extremist cant be spouting random nonsensical vitriol in our name , lets lose her"


reply

They don't say anything about " loudmouthed politcal extremists" if they're Democrats.

reply

It was about people expressing views like hers being the same as the Jews in 30s Germany. She likened the backlash to republicans like her to their racial persecution of Jews before the Nazis enshrined it in law.

reply

I can't believe this is still a thing with rightwingers.

Rightwingers support Corporations as People and Disney is a Corporation that decided to axe Gina's ass of their TV show.

Expect more Corporate overlord activity to continue as the Conservative Republicans have done a splendid job packing the courts, particularly SCOTUS with Right-leaning Judges, or "activist judges" as they like to label them when they don't vote in their favor.

reply

You might want to learn what packing the courts actually is.

reply

Would you be surprised that after he learns what it is he would support it as long as it's done by the democrats?

I wouldn't be ;)

reply

Not at all. You have to be a hypocrite to be a 21st century Democrat.

reply

Hahahahaha! The Hollywood, liberal elite are CONSTANTLY circle jerking to and bleating their (hypocritical) far left rubbish. Anyone who breaks lockstep with them gets raked over the coals and cancelled.

reply

I disagree with her, but my problem is more with Disney.

They're too liberal for her to be saying stuff like this.

But they're too conservative to actually have gay main characters.

What are you, Disney?

Another big question is where will she land? My guess is Hallmark, Lifetime, or WWE

reply

But they're too conservative to actually have gay main characters.

I don't think that's a problem of conservatism. It's more about mainstream vs niche markets.

If there's no romantic plot it's irrelevant whether the character is gay or not. Unless the actors are really good and subtle and you have a gay radar, you won't even notice.

If there's a romantic plot, hetero people are usually interested in hetero couples, while gay people are usually interested in gay couples, for obvious reasons. Since gay people are about 5% of population, mainstream movies are gonna aim to the big demographic.

Dumb is making a post about someone you know nothing about. Well done bigot.
