Gina Carano was given like a dozen opportunities by every higher up at Disney to delete her posts and keep her job. She's just a moron.

There's a big difference between stupid shit you did when you were young to get attention over a decade ago that you're ashamed of and apologized for

And actively being a horrible harmful person in the present.

Gunn is almost a textbook perfect example of the worst kind of "Cancel Culture" the "If we look deep into your history what bullshit can we dig up to ruin you."

And luckily almost everyone saw through it.

It would be nice if the legal system would acknowledge this some day. The concept of "criminal record" needs to be revised and be treated more confidentially - only visible to those who can justify it.

This would even be in the state's interest, since criminal record = harder to get a job = more time on welfare.

Exactly. The stuff Gunn tweeted were like a decade before he was hired to direct the first Guardians. However the stuff Carano was tweeting was on going current behavior. She was asked to stop and was given multiple chances and she chose to keep putting her foot in her mouth.

I dont like Gina Carano, but if James Gunn could get re-hired by Disney after saying FAR worse things then yeah, Gina deserves to be re-hired as well.

Its not the same AT ALL. He wrote those things years ago from his firing. Gina was reprimanded once, but doubled down in being bigoted, anti vax

So she says horrible things about Jewish people, and this guy endorsed by the ADL is defending her? Did I get that right. Honestly asking because that seems odd even for Musk.

Both situations are Disney firing someone because they made tweets many considered offensive.

LMAO. James Gunn was like 45 years old when he made those disgusting tweets. He was hired by Disney and had YEARS to delete those tweets, but he was stupid enough to leave them up.

I wish I could find the video, but I've seen a YouTube lawyer say they've never seen right-to-work used to attemp justification in a wrongful termination suit. If you can't justify it beyond the "don't have to give a reason," you're basically admitting to the alleged reason.

It's something that managers tell employees when they're firing them, but then later have to make up another reason to go on the books/lawsuit.

In one situation the person in question apologized. In the other they've continually downplayed their actions and portrayed themselves as a victim like a true conservative. Yeah man totally the same thing!

And Gunn's old jokes making the rounds stemmed from the Roseanne firing, somebody who unapologetically said heinous shit in the present. Some conservative influencer went back and found his old tweets and was like "why don't you fire him too???"

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

Hey, you forgot the most important part. That Disney realized they made a mistake in firing Gunn because he was talented, beloved, and was making them money. I don't think they're ever gonna find a reason to regret firing Carano.

She wasn't fired, her contract wasn't renewed.

She was warned multiple time to not voice her concerns, or compare conservatives to Jews during WW2, but she persisted. She harassed fellow cast member Pedro Pascal, even after being told to stop.

At best she'll get a nuisance fee, but that is it.

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

On June 27, 2020, Pascal posted two Disney-owned Muppet characters, Bert and Ernie, as activists waving a transgender and LGBTQ+ pride flag and promoting Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police.

Another post shared in the lawsuit shows Pascal comparing Donald Trump to Hitler.

It reads: Upon information and belief, Pascal was not disciplined, required to review documentaries on any of these topics or speak to individuals with contrary points of view, or pressured to apologize for any of his posts. His employment was not terminated, and Defendants made no public statements about his social media posts, much less refer to them as abhorrent.

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

Eh, it's much more likely that they simply heard the headline from any source - "Gina Carano sues Disney" - and drew their own indelible conclusions. Doesn't help in this particular instance that GOP'ers (and pretty much anyone who was cognizant in the 90's and bought into pop culture propaganda) erroneously believe that frivolous lawsuits always pay out in spades, but it's okay this time because it's the lefties who are footing the bill.
