Lucasfilm says ‘Mandalorian’ star Gina Carano will not return to show after Instagram post about intolerance spurs cancel campaign
Mandalorian’ co-star Gina Carano will not be making another appearance on the hit show,
Lucasfilm announced, after she was accused of comparing Republicans to Jews living in Nazi Germany in an Instagram post.
Carano took to her Instagram story on Wednesday with a shared post from another user,
referencing the plight of Jews living under the Third Reich and drawing a broader point about the persecution of political opponents.
''Most people don't realize today that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews,
the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews,'' the post said, adding:
''How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?''
The message, initially posted from the account of the ‘Warrior Priest Podcast’, soon triggered an explosive reaction on social media, sending #FireGinaCarano into the Twitter trends as netizens piled on the actress and called to have her booted from the popular ‘Star Wars’ spin-off series.
A common charge from Carano’s Twitter critics – as well as some entertainment media – suggested that she compared “the holocaust to being a Republican,” although the post made no mention of Republicans, Democrats, or indeed anything specific to American politics. Some detractors took even more creative license, accusing Carano of “defending Nazis” – on what grounds remains a mystery.
“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable,” the studio said, apparently referring to her Instagram share earlier in the day.
Some observers pushed back on the righteous indignation, however, with comedian and pundit Tim Young arguing that those demanding Carano’s cancellation only proved her point about the dangers of political prejudice.
“They hate her for her opinion and believe she doesn't deserve a job or to even exist in their society,” he said.

Others launched a barrage of buzzwords at the actress, arguing the latest controversy merely showed what a “transphobic,”“anti-mask,”“alt-right,” QAnon-believing “Trump supporter” Carano is, urging ‘Mandalorian’ director Jon Favreau to fire her for any of the above transgressions. Sharing “anti-Semitic images,” apparently, is now at the top of the list.Hey @Jon_Favreau defending nazis is super gross, maybe do something about it? #FireGinaCaranopic.twitter.com/IXLSVLdNg4

She's transphobic, anti-mask, alt-right who parrots QAn*n conspiracies, doesn't believe in systematic racism, and now shares anti-semitic images. @starwars@Disney#FireGinaCaranopic.twitter.com/wi4rbwXwvs

Hours after the controversy kicked off, Lucasfilm, the studio behind ‘The Mandalorian’, announced that the actress would not be returning for the show’s third season, declining to say whether she was actually fired but still referencing her “abhorrent” social media posts.that moment when a transphobic, antisemitic, police bootlicker, covid denier and trump supporter plays a character who fought her whole life against oppression and tyranny. lucasfilm should be ashamed. fire her. #FireGinaCaranopic.twitter.com/IfA3ZF6RbW

The people wanting Gina Carano fired - tweeting #FireGinaCarano - prove the comparison to nazi Germany that Gina makes to be 100% correct.They hate her for her opinion and believe she doesn't deserve a job or to even exist in their society...
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) February 10, 2021
How is this "Supporting Nazis" - Please elaborate... because your tweet - Which doesn't actually show her defending Nazis, will still go out as evidence that she did... So yeah, please explain... I'll wait.

An outspoken conservative, Carano is no stranger to online rage mobs, previously triggering calls for her firing after posting memes that mocked the use of face masks as a precaution during the Covid-19 pandemic. Her support for former president Donald Trump, as well as her apparent endorsement of his repeated claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 race, have also earned the actress scorn from opponents.She actually made a good point, about intolerance in general.

Hihihiiiidi u pičku materinu.
The Mandalorian is a fabulous new show on the Disney+ channel based in the Stars War universe. I watched at least 10 minutes of one episode the other week and I must say I very much enjoyed what I saw. As far as I could deduce, it is about a COVID-aware masked space knight who is instructed by bigots to capture a non-binary trans-age baby called ‘Yodel’ (they probably want to practice gay conversion therapy on the poor they) but thankfully, the Mandalorian is an ally who ends up empathizing with Yodel’s struggle and together they go on a quest to seek acceptance in a cold transphobic universe. Now, as a trans woman with an impeccable social conscience, this latest sojourn into Stars War lore ticked all my tolerance boxes, and I absolutely intended to most probably watch a bit more of it at some point (Zoom spin classes permitting). However, recent developments have dashed any chance of me revisiting this show, and I’m in half a mind to cancel my Disney+ subscription once the 30-day-free-trial runs out. You see, in The Mandalorian, there’s a character called Cara Dune. A shock trooper turned mercenary. On the face of it, she’s a strong brave woman who fights with the rebels against the Empire. Antifa’s essence personified if you will. Played by former mixed martial artist Gina Carano, Cara reminds me very much of myself and the time I signed a petition to get Roseanne Barr’s biography banned from my local library. Fearless and unfettered by conventional methods.
However behind this character lies a…well, a lie. The actress who plays Cara Dune is nothing like the character she portrays. It’s like she’s simply putting on an act. For example, back in August, she refused to show her support for Black Lives Matter. Who as we all know is a wonderfully Woke movement with no alternative agenda whatsoever. Yet Gina steadfastly did not bend the knee, so to speak. She even went so far as to mock those who attempted to educate her:
Does that look like the kind of thing a brave and strong woman would say in current year?! No! If she had any sort of spunk in her she would have meekly apologized and thanked her educators for putting her back on the correct path. That is what a strong and independent woman does.
If her unwillingness to accept BLM’s ideology as something she should gladly be coerced by peer pressure to acknowledge and validate wasn’t bad enough, recently she REFUSED, and I mean point-blank DECLINED to add her pronouns to her social media bios. Yes. You did not misread that. An actress, in CURRENT YEAR has turned her back on the gentle persuasive nature of trans activism and has shunned all attempts to rightfully shame her into doing the right thing. Now once again, does that seem like the sort of thing an intelligent and tenacious individual would do in the year of our Woke Social Media Overlords (PBUT – peace be upon they) 2020? No. If (whatever Gina’s pronouns are, I don’t know because she/he/they/zer for some reason does not wish to tell us so for the sake of argument let’s just say ‘she’ and it serves her right if I’ve got it wrong) she knew what was good for her, she would damn well stick those pronouns on her bio and cry for forgiveness. The Woke are merciful and would no doubt accept her plea so long as she continued to tread the righteous path from hereon.

In my experience, screaming at someone that they are a racist when they are indeed NOT a racist & any post and/or research you do will show you those exact facts. Then I’m sorry, these people are not “educators”.. they are cowards and bullies.
