She said beep/bop/boop. I am more offended how crummy the joke is. She is celebrity, you got to expect a little bit of escentricity. Just be happy she isn't on bath salts, molesting children or in scientology or something. This is easily manageable, but people are lazy now a days and don't want to deal with anything.

whether you are offended or not has nothing to do with the matter

if it was something that upset or annoyed enough people then it is obviously a controversial statement

its like some of you refuse to acknowledge that the law of cause and effect exists

Disney is a business working in the interest of making more money, which means weighing options such as how one cast member might affect public relations. Disney is not the US govt., even if it has more than enough money to prevent said government from ever passing legislation against it, so taking action against the words of one person working for them is entirely game.

Yeah, fans asked her to list her pronouns as a show of support for trans people, and as a middle finger to her fans and trans people she put "beep/bop/boop" instead when she could have simply done nothing.

Honestly, I think this part is fair (assuming this is all it was). You shouldn't be hassling people to list their pronouns publically, regardless of reason. They just might not feel like it, and some might retort with a joke like this as a way of telling people to back off.

Having worked for Disney before, they are definitely hyper-focused on covering their asses, trying not to get sued, and maintaining a squeaky-clean image. Makes sense, when you're that big of an entity. They weren't going to tolerate Gina's shit, especially when you remember this is just one of her many social media transgressions. It's almost certain they tried to talk to her first, and after she kept up the shit, they dropped her.

Pretty open and shut.

When union-based laws say employees must be talked to before terminated, companies talk to employees to reprimand, sometimes in the guise of asking what happened, and often along with having them sign a thing. THEN firing happens.

That seems like what happened. She got harassed a lot to list BLM or ACAB in her profile too. Disgusting really. Its like a "do what we say...or else we get upset!". Can't imagine why any celebrity has twitter honestly,

Has Disney apologized for marginalizing John Boyega's character and shrinking him in the Chinese poster because he's black yet or are we only mad at things that when they're done in America and offend American audiences? I'm really going to need Disney to be logically consistent if they want to pretend to be woke.

Sure, but either cancel everyone involved with being racist to John Boyega to appease foreign audiences (which was way worse than Gina Carano's crap even though she's still a moron who said stupid shit) or don't cancel anyone.

Oh and btw, people weren't mad at all about Finn's treatment until fairly recently. So to ask if we can be mad about both is being pretty disingenuous about the context. It took the actor coming out and straight up calling them all racist assholes before anyone gave two fucks despite how plainly obvious it was.

*remove that space before "star".

Seems like at least some people were angry about this back in 2015.

Edit: And this is the first I heard about that poster controversy, by the way. I don't really follow movie news at all.

What a strange take

We have literally no idea who was involved in those decisions. I'm not even sure if Disney would know at this point. It was likely a random Chinese advertising exec.

Yes because Disney has no say over their own products after all.

It's not that they have no say, they just likely didn't care. I imagine they paid some Chinese employees to design a poster for China based on the original poster, the final product was sent back for approval and given the okay.

It's difficult to cancel somebody when you have zero idea who is involved. Compared to Gina's behaviour which is transparently malicious.

It's worth keeping in mind Star Wars makes like negative money in China. This wasnt something that was a high priority for the company.

There's no way these goof balls are even boycotting Disney over its relationship with China so it's just a transparent hypocritical stance.

You can't avoid companies that have a business relationship with China. Or even countries like Saudi Arabia or Russia.

Why do people even use social media now-a-days when it seems like every day someone's life gets ruined by using it? Like, jeez, if she was going to use it keep it as bland and unoffensive as possible in any possible regard. Cause you could say that you like cats more than dogs and some dumbass will gather up a hate mob calling you a dog-hater!
