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 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” the post, which was originally made on a different Instagram account, read.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

I've always done stuff like this because I grew up poor. I wish more people would just come up with stories and characters for themselves as a form of entertainment. It doesn't have to be the most original or even the most creative just something *you* enjoy.

If more people actually did this instead of just writing fanfiction maybe we'd have some actual "new" things to enjoy.

Indepedent media is the future, my friend. There is a reason that the left wants to boycott these kickstarters with arguments that basically resumes itself as "wont someone please think of the progressive creators who arent getting a dime for some reason?!"
They know they cant control that and the left hates what it cant control. If your content is good and with the correct amount of effort and resources, it can go far out there, especially among the crowds that think woke is cancer.

You pussies having a cry about political tangents makes me think some of you aren't true patriots or believers in capitalism.

Ohh! That looks dope, also, I think it gave me sport results because you ended up putting "Trail" as "Trial". Thats okay, tho. It happens, just felt like giving a heads up.

This makes sense in that it's another cudgel against Favreau salvaging Star Wars. The woke queen yass' into the Twitter crowd while also kneecapping the man who can take her out.

Eh... am I the only one that isn't buying the whole Kennedy vs. Favreau&Filoni faction thing? These people all work in tandem and have the same ideology. I'm pretty sure the Bobs were also informed about this and OK'd it.

Make sure to change your Facebook profile to thoughts and prayers for Gina. That should sort out this horrible, terrible and definitely illegal firing.

certain people is already calling her a "delusional nutcase" who need serious therapy if she ever wants a career back. the same idiots who claim antifa and blm are the "good guys" and "real Americans." while said groups burn down buildings, loot nike and apple stores, burn American flags, and beat people up for wearing pro American clothes..yeah who's the delusional ones again?

1- Since I cant rate you the old fashioned way for now, here, have this" " (only because I cant find any equivalent of the "autistic" icon)

2- I actually am a business owner, a pizzaria chain, and I can tell you this aint capitalism. Capitalism is where everyone is given a fair shot, what we have nowadays is a system where one can BUY the results instead of earning them. You can buy out the competition or just manipulate the populace against them. Thats not fair market. Im a god damn believer of capitalism and this aint it, chief, just because it looks like it from afar.

Like I said on the star wars thread. I don't blame the people with the theory. It gives them hope. Through I haven't seen any really real evidence to surpport it.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

So if Jon Favreau is as pissed as the "reports" are saying, then he should walk off. If anyone has the power to right this wrong, then it's him.

Until he does that, his "outrage" means nothing to me.

This is the post that got her fired.

It's not even just "conservatives" that are being dehumanized by repeated comparisons to nazis, fascists, and whatever-the-fuck-else, it's anyone that isn't in perfect ideological lockstep with the mob.

"I'm gonna stop giving Disney a dime over this!"

they did this precisely because you're still gonna watch their shit and whine that you can't do anything, anything at all except continue to watch their shit.
a handful of people will actually follow through for more than a hot week

I would obviously never suggest that you can find The Mandolorian hosted on places other than Disney+, but you totally can, and if you wanted to google that, you should type F, Movies, and see what pops up.

lol calm down, faggot.

Not to get all tinfoily about it, but the whole feud narrative has always seemed like some sort of astroturfed rumor that came directly from Disney and the Fandom Menace types swallowed wholeheartedly with the help of useful idiots like Doomcock. If Kennedy was as much a thorn on Disney's side as the narrative makes us believe, then she should have been fired already. The fact that Disney keeps renewing her contract and giving her fresh new toys to play with tells me everything I need to know.

It's a puzzle piece but that dope deserves a trashcan for their low tier bait, but no emoticon for that.
