I'm not sure where this goes, but not the Corona thread.

I'm gonna merge in some stuff from the Star Wars forum, and we can figure out where this goes later.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Standing up for someone that you don’t agree with is the way it should be, not cancelling everyone that you don’t.

No, but I think that's implied in the posts about Lin Manuel Miranda not getting fired after supporting a Puerto Rican terrorist.

There’s a mistake in the thread title. And you spelled The Mandalorian wrong.

I liked her character. She was great in the season 2 finale.

Yeah, yeah ... it's a lot of work to fix chaos. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.

I hold the joint belief that she shouldn't have been fired, but also that she should have shut the fuck up after not getting fired over the anti-trans stuff.

Think she was easily the worst actor on the show. If that was the issue, I would agree.

She did say she is not anti-trans.

I liked her in some of the fighting scenes but her acting took me out of it a lot. Also she has a very contemporary feel that doesn't lend its self to long long ago in a galaxy far far away. Kind of like Tom Cruise in a period piece it doesn't really work. As far as speech I work for a fortune five company and I keep all non work related opinions to myself. I keep most work related opinions to myself too. I have bills.

Yes and she was a terrible actor. She always had this awful smirk on her face that felt like Jim staring at the camera in the office. Took me out of the show every single time.

not good. sad!

And I don't know how beaten down by life you have to be to accept being fired because your boss didn't like an utterly mild take on twitter (or any take at all for that matter,) but its a pretty good sign you've completely given in.
dude, i got fired from a job because my boss asked us to come up with ideas to to better our department and service. i gave her 15 ideas and each one was met by her with, it goes against our corporate culture. all were legit ideas from me and my coworkers. she said in a meeting she could get monkeys to do our job and wants us to come up with ideas on our own. i said i have given you X amount of ideas and you shot them down because they dont fit with our culture. im not suggesting anything else again

a week later i was gone

it happens. you can say whatever you want (which people are leaning this is about right to free speech) but that doesnt mean a company cant fire you for it

You can't mock everyone's intelligence in this thread and then pretend to be stupidly obtuse.

He's asking you to educate us poor, dumb rocket scientists by telling us what she said and how we're wrong.
i dont think he is pretending

I am very careful what I say publicly on social media and if co-workers ever found my RM identity I’d be screwed.

How many of you would be willing to show your RM posts to your boss right now?

You'd be safe. They would quickly see you are a litigious fucker and it wouldn't be worth the headache to fire you.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.
