Now that we have this one wrapped, what about Chris Harrison?

He grovelled as hard as one can grovel. I hope he gets many good head pats from his masters.

Also, Timothy Olyphant is really better known as a Marshal than a Sheriff at this point. Get it together, Orph

I’m not clear what he did. He said something racist in an interview? I’m not clicking on tmz to find out

Film production is by nature an intimate process in which you have to spend a lot of time with your co-stars/crew, and I could see them (understandably) not wanting to work with Carano any more. Pedro Pascal has a Trans sister and previously had to speak with Carano and educate her about why the beep/boop thing was offensive to many. The crew might not want to work closely with someone who is pointedly anti-mask and has seemed to imply that the virus is a hoax. Would you want to do the makeup of someone who doesn't hold your health as a priority? I wouldn't, I'd probably walk.


Also, Carano was what's known as a "persona" casting. The Mandalorian, as an episodic show, is full of these. Most of the cast/guest stars are heavily based on their persona, from Giancarlo Esposito ("fuck, it's that evil guy from Breaking Bad") to Timothy Olyphant ("hey, it's the sheriff!!!"). Gina Carano depended on this more than any other character on the show, basically being wholly dependent on her persona as "actual real-life fighter." You can see how this becomes a problem for the production when her persona becomes "bigot" and "anti-mask dumbass." It doesn't serve the show, and becomes a negative for the production and fans. And yeah, sometimes this really sucks. Britney Spears has had to battle her persona becoming "crazy person" for the last decade. But largely, Carano did this to herself. People were more willing to ease up on the Corona conspiracy shit in April, but now almost 500,000 Americans are dead. It's not really funny anymore.

She basically had a good thing going and then stick-in-spokes'd herself.
After this post I might get a couple of my co-workers fired, really not pleased with their thoughts on the pandemic. One is even a Trump-supporter.

Go for it. If you're in the majority, your co-workers are automatically wrong.

Think about the very real, demonstrable damage they could do to marginalized people by putting beeping noises in their tweeter bio.

I won't, but it should be remembered that this isn't what she was fired for anyaway.

It's just an opportunity to retroactively paint her as a bigot who justly received the righteous fury of Disney executives.

You don’t have to like the people you work with. I’ve had good bosses who I thought were jerks and could work for them, cause you know I was there to work and not discuss there social media presence. Why would you even follow someone’s social media if you don’t like them?
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

She’s mocking pronouns and those that use them.
The latest and tamest of her insults on trans people.

There have been far worse from her.
