‘Mandalorian’ Star Gina Carano Under Fire for Controversial Social Media Posts​

Gina Carano, who plays Cara Dune on both seasons of Disney Plus’ “The Mandalorian,” garnered backlash on social media Wednesday after sharing several controversial posts on her Instagram story.

Carano shared the posts on her story late Tuesday night. One of the posts she shared compared today’s divided political climate to Nazi Germany.

“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. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” the post, which was originally made on a different Instagram account, read.

Another photo on Carano’s story featured a person with several cloth masks covering their entire face and head. The caption said “Meanwhile in California.”

Both posts were removed from Carano’s Instagram story Wednesday afternoon. Other posts, including a quote saying “Expecting everyone you encounter to agree with every belief or view you hold is fucking wild” and one saying “Jeff Epstein didn’t kill himself,” remained.

Many people on Twitter began using the hashtag #FireGinaCarano, tagging accounts for Disney, Disney Plus, “Star Wars” and Lucasfilm and requesting that Carano be dropped from “The Mandalorian.”

Carano has courted social media controversy before, previously sharing misinformation about mask wearing and voter fraud. In November 2020, she made light of people including their preferred pronouns on social media by adding “beep/bop/boop” to her Twitter bio, which many fans called out as transphobic. Carano later removed the words after she said she spoke to her “Mandalorian” co-star Pedro Pascal. “He helped me understand why people were putting them in their bios. I didn’t know before but I do now. I won’t be putting them in my bio but good for all you who choose to. I stand against bullying, especially the most vulnerable & [support] freedom to choose,” she wrote at the time.

Representatives for Carano and Disney did not respond to Variety’s request for comment.

Well Pedro is a bitch and his Parents should have been thrown form the helicopters before they left to destroy the US with their commie ways...

But yes, these SJWz think racism is power plus privilege, those pesky Jooz had both, many rich ones even initially supported the SS, just to find themselves Choochoochooing to a one-way vacation.

Okay, It's not just me.

I thought my month long neg-rate spree had finally caught up with me.

For her infraction, they up and go to prove her point.

She isn't wrong either, it's a historical fact to how Nazis came to power. History is problematic, therefore it should be canceled.

They’re going to have the same issue with Richard Madden when The Eternals comes out in a few months. They probably wouldn’t care if their token gay was a nice, married type but that’s not Pascal or Madden.

As for the Randolph rumor, it could’ve been a false PR story for leverage or hype. It’s not like recording voice over is a huge commitment.

I'm still hoping Madden isn't but he's trash either way because he constantly dates and lives with younger boys and he dated underage girl after his split with Melia from Xenoblade, but he gets a pass from people because he's **conventionally attractive**

It was still a genuinely entertaining episode and didn't really feel like a soapbox even though they used an actual election. Whereas if that was made today, you know the dad would be written as an unrepentant jerk unless he was somehow "won over" .

The dad from happy days did the voice of david the gnome so watching the show fucks with me.

Also another kiwi in someother thread posted about "All in the family" how the writters were liberal and archie was suppose to be a strawman, and meat head the voice of reason etc.

But the character of archie got away from them, Archie was a creature of his time he couldnt change the way he talked but when push came to shove he stood up for his black friend, oh here look how the show handled homosexuals

[Humble Shitpost Merchant]

Disney finally creates a female Star Wars character that fans actually like... and they ultimately nix her because checkmarks on Twitter don't like the actress.

I'd hope that it hurts Disney but, really, I doubt it'll even dent them at all.

There's Ahsoka Tano's actress, Rosario Dawson, who is still under investigation for multiple transphobic assaults.

So don't worry, Mandalorian is still based

What's hurting Disney is COVID, and that's been a good silver lining for this pandemic.

i love the people on twitter announcing they'll suck corporate cock to get back at the "dudebros" who say they'll cancel their disney plus accounts.
don't support the rich, unless it allows us to get back at DUH NAZEES!

The Left has been completely subsumed and coopted by Neoliberalism.

 

[RudeRoasts]

Congratulations Hollywood and the idiots on social media who are actually happy and excited about this: You've just lent credence to her claims! At least, the general notion that conservative individuals in the machine are persecuted for being open about their political persuasions.

Especially given that they were indeed "looking for a reason to fire her" because of previous social media posts that were, all things considered, quite meager. But then again, questioning the logic of transtrenders even got JK Rowling in the hot water.

If Carano was as far to the right as the average Disney actor with social media is as far to the left, she'd have been canned months before Season 2 of Mandalorian even premiered.

You fire people or otherwise make it inhospitable for them to work in these circles over beliefs on her point of the spectrum, and anyone with sense would tell you that you're only more likely to widen divisions and stir the pot.

She's said before that she knew this was a risk, and I respect her for that. Maybe it's not today, but a certain point, people vaguely right of Mao cannot keep hiding away in private institutions that have a stranglehold on global communications and entertainment, while the other side weaponises them for propaganda.

That doesn't mean doing, saying or otherwise boosting crazy shit, but she wasn't doing any of that. At worst, her comments were disagreeable. And that shouldn't get people fired.

Unless you want her comments to become closer to a reality.

 

[You]

I don't think anybody has said it but it was 14 years ago to the day that Carano made history by being part of the first live and televised women's MMA fight.

What did the other woman involved in that fight do today to mark the celebration?



Tell people to learn more about Auschwitz.

Also PS: Carano was a shit fighter who only ever fought women she vastly outsized (as you can see by the above picture) and the one time she actually fought another woman in her own weightclass she got completely destroyed and immediately retired.

 

[Screamer]

So democrats can call Republicans nazis publicly all day but she can't do the opposite? What a bunch of bullshit, fuck Disney. I'm so sick of this shit.

Pedro Pascal called Trump supporters Nazis. How many comments recently everywhere that Biden's election just stopped Hitler?

What puzzles me is, ok I can get why people take issue with the parallel she's talking about but how is that anti-Semitic? Is it meant to be lessening the impact of the holocaust? Or is it just because it mentions jews they can label that term on it?

 

[Unpaid Emotional Labourer]

Yup, sounds like it was ok when it was the tranners and mask Nazis she was pissing off, but violating Godwin’s Law in the wrong direction? That’s a paddlin‘.

And also pretty dumb. She knew the SJWs were after her, and she handed them the win. I am ultimately glad it was not for her thought crimes against Wokeness, which were tolerated which is good, but her thought crimes concerning anything that can be vaguely construed by enemies as anti-Semitic. That’s almost quaint, at this point. Wholesome even.

 

[Slimy Time]

Gina Carano should be a role model in how to get shit done in life. She was Ronda Rousey before Ronda Rousey. World champion in mma at 145lbs and a true ticket seller, had some weight issues. Got into it because she and her boyfriend had been drinking one night and decided to do kickboxing for fun. In the gym a thai trainer said "baby you fat" because she had some weight issues, she got so mad that she trained hard enough to become the first face of women's MMA. After that she did stunts/acting(they didn't let her talk in Deadpool for a reason, forget about Soderberg), then finally acting in Star Wars. "but her social media posts!" yeah maybe she's a real human from a normal background voicing her thoughts in a public forum used by normal people. It's like she's not [PRODUCT].

edit: Gina Carano have done a lot for herself and a lot for women. More pushes to cancel her because she offended AGP's last year is some bullshit(notice how the article says that made up pronouns is transphobic, it's not phobic against the other 78 made up genders, it's just about troons)

Man she would fuck any of these woke Hollywood bubble elites up. General rule for most mma fighters is they come from hard up backgrounds, because very few things make a person wake up and go "I'm going to fight someone for a living". These people want to talk about strong female role models? There she is.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

This is legitimately amusing. Why is this “controversial”?


1) Who is Pedro Pascal to dictate and lecture others on who should and should not be bullied?
2) Carano still won’t have anyone standing up for her if she keeps thinking that social media users represent what’s left of the Star Wars fan base.

Overall, tweets on Twitter ≠ legitimate news sources

She should have told the bisexual Mexican to fuck right off.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Edit: I think it’s worth mentioning that Pedro Pascal was able to change her opinion by coming to her as a friend and making an honest effort to sway her to his point of view.

No, he was simply ensuring his Hollywood career and supply of shekels would continue. Everything those people do is just virtue-signalling in exchange for pieces of silver.

 

[Sage In All Fields]

This is why your number one priority should be reducing how much it costs for you to live, it's entirely possible you'll get fired at any point just for being a reasonable person or maybe even just being woke but misspeaking slightly. Use a snowball method, reduce the smaller regular costs so you can slowly work your way up to the bigger costs.

 

[Slap47]

This woman has some hot takes, but honestly she's basically just your standard Hollywood crazy, but Conservative.

 

[Oats12345]

This was something I remmer Kevin Sorbo talked about years ago. That after he came out conservative before he knew it, agents and acting gigs just stopped coming in. From my understanding Giana's agency fired her too.

Her comparing Hollywood to how Nazi treated Jews. Really isn't wrong just look what's happening on the weeb wars thread. You got four voice actors recently who are getting attacked to do having conservative view points. If anyone slightly comes out right wing, Hollywood will get raid of them. Look what happens to chris Pratt all the time. Her firing proves her point.

Gina did say what she was doing being open about her views was risky. So I think she figured this was going to happen at some point.

Doesn't the Mandalorian only two seasons left?
Honestly I don't like referring to Raiso Dawson as Ashoka being her character.
Just doesn't feel right

It's not a "win" to stay silent when you are 100% right, though. The accusations of her being anti-semitic are flat-out FALSE. In fact, I would even call it slander or libel, as they are vicious lies. There was literally nothing she said about the Holocaust that would suggest she was downplaying it or denying it. In fact, I'd say she was doing the opposite; she was giving a warning for everyone to not allow history to repeat itself.

Seems to me that Disney had their finger on the trigger for a while, and finally decided to pull it when enough people screeched about her. I knew this was going to happen-- it was only a matter of when.

This lady stood her ground, even at the cost of losing her job. That's admirable, to say the least.

REEE we want strong independent womanz!
REEE not like this get her fired for saying meanie things!
