She did a western, and than all the people on the right called it woke since it featured a strong female lead.
Leopards, faces, etc.

My favorite part of this whole thing is that part of her lawsuit complains about Pedro Pascal not being disciplined for his tweets.

Yep. Because those tweets are exactly the same as Carano's tweets comparing conservatives to the Jews in Nazi Germany, or her saying her pronouns are "beep/bop/boop," or her calling BLM protesters "cowards and bullies," or her mocking mask mandates. I hope she gets countersued into oblivion
It's funny as Pedro Pascal tried to explain the whole pronoun thing to her and why it was important to some people. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy whose good to have on your side.

I think Musk wrote it so that checks out.

Funded by Elon Musk out of the goodness of his heart. Just a coincidence that Elon is going to pay in exchange for a little private reenactment of his favorite DP scene.

he certainly is an advocate of LGBTQ+ rights, he was supportive of his sister when she came out as transgender

Isn't them now renewing her contract a sign they weren't being hypocritical (in this instance)?

Certainly not in California, they went way above and beyond the national employee protections to guarantee all employees of the state are protected for their political views:

-Section 1101 of the California Labor Code provides: No employer shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy: (a) Forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office. (b) Controlling or directing, or tending to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees.

-Section 1102 of the California Labor Code provides: No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

I have no idea how this case will turn out, I assume Disney puts some sort of legal protections in their contracts that they make all their actresses sign, but the state law is definitely on the side of the employee in CA

Disney probably has a morality clause, or something else. Look how quickly they dropped Majors after the court ruling.

She wasn't fired, they just didn't renew her contract. She has no actual standing. Granted, what you quoted doesn't apply, regardless. It had nothing to do with her politics, and everything to do with specific things she said.

She harassed a fellow castmember even after being educated.

People have been convinced that holding conservative political views will get you fired from places like Disney... well okay there is a billion dollar grift and propaganda industry keeping those people in a perpetual state of outrage and riding a persecution complex to convince them of such nonsense... but the end result is a lot of ignorant people getting angry because family friendly corporations whether sincere or not don't want problematic extremists spouting racism, anti-vax, election lies, or whatever the Christo Fascist grift-o-verse is programming their followers with today.

100% - Disney sucks but Elon Muck is an actual fascist that amplifies hate and anti-semetic replacement theory on his Twit platform, and refuses to address serious workplace racism concerns at Tesla factories as just two examples of why you should cheer for Disney on this one.

I'll take corporate performative diversity over actual fascism and boss-tryant behavior.

I'm not sure he would.

I hope they stop. Dont advertise, Musk told interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin. If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. He singled out Disney CEO Bob Iger, who discussed not wanting Disney to be affiliated with Musk while onstage earlier in the day. Hey Bob, if youre in the audience.
