Principles, we don't need your stinking principles. Give me left wing social media outrage/hate to feed my soul.

I'm not endorsing termination-by-tweet, but there is a universe of difference between some college no one has heard of college firing a professor based on complaints from a politician who influences their funding and what the world's most powerful media company did to one of the stars of one of their most important properties.

She’s probably endured a life of people teasing her about that. Might explain why she hates trans people.

That’s just typical provocateur bullshit.

Do a turn on a penny on the very thing she was attacking in the first place and suddenly claim she wasn’t and she was defending them from bullying

That’s insulting to anyone’s intelligence that’s been following this. And I dunno if anyone saw that interview she did with Shapiro but she’s not the brightest bulb on the tree. Looks like she’s taking messaging lessons from him.

If she says she's not against trans people at all, then I think it's a bit strong to claim that she hates trans people. Would certainly need more proof than writing those three words on her profile.

That’s the thing everyone here seems to be unaware of. This wasn’t a one off thing. She’s been tweeting and posting this stuff on her Instagram for ages. It wasn’t just that one thing. That just seemed cleverly (ha) designed to make all her previous look innocuous. She’s been at it for ages.

If one wanted to find these, where would they be?

Expand on this

Is there a difference? Seems roughly equivalent to me.

I agree with bi_3, firing a college professor for political reasons is bad and firing some hack actor doesn't matter at all.

In some ways we agree. It’s worse for the college not to take a stand and protect its employees whose job it is to poke the edges and challenge what is accepted. And actors don’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. What makes Carano different is that it validates the behavior of the online mob and shows them if Disney will bow to them then anyone will.

I don't know. They stood up to the "online mob" and didn't fire her for insensitive comment. To reward them, she went anti-semitic, and THAT'S when they cut ties.

"anti-semitic"

Let’s predict which of Tiger Woods’ sponsors cancel him.

Buick.

They did not stand up to the mob, they didn’t fire her because Favreau put his ass on the line for her. She was still excluded from promotion and other normal stuff.

Damn right

I’m trying - and failing - to make sense of this.

Anyway this thread wouldn’t be 24 pages already if Carano wasn’t really hot.

Was he drunk or something?

Looked for what she actually posted:
- “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors … even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize 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,” Carano shared on her Instagram story on Tuesday. “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?” -

I would think if someone was anti-semitic and anti-trans, they would probably get banned on RM. Really can’t see how Carano could have been banned if she was a member here, going by the quotes of hers that have been posted here.

People get banned for far less.

And they stick around for far worse, so.
