Gina wasn't canceled. Her contract was up and Disney didn't want to work with her anymore.

If I sign a contract to do a movie and they don't cast me in the sequel, am I canceled?

This guy acting like a fascist is similar to that other dictator is not the same as not being able to shit post on Facebook makes me just like the millions of people who were starved and gassed in Germany

fuck off, TC. Some of you people have some serious problems and that goes beyond just basic comprehension and understanding of simple ass concepts.

Comparisons between Trump and Hitler are generally correct.

My work frequently brings me in contact with the local underprivileged Hispanic population, and because of that I often work with Dreamers that are struggling because their parents aren't documented citizens.

While many of them aired their legitimate complaints about Trump, and some had to experience those awful, heartbreaking, goodbyes with loved ones that were being deported. Then there were also those in the community that supported him. It was an odd divide tbh.

Regardless, I do find it hard to honestly say these people experienced the same treatment as Jewish citizens did under Hitler during the holocaust. Even speaking "generally"

Edit: For what its worth, I can say I did not support/vote for him in either election. I'm not looking to defend him, but I just can't put him in the same camp as Hitler I guess

There's a lot more to Hitler than "he did a Holocaust".

Sure. Not quite seeing where my post limited him to that...

However, the doing the holocaust thing is kind of what cements him in history and separates him from other historically terrible leaders. Kind of a unique identifier!

I can say, "Hitler is the same as an animator from Cartoon network, generally speaking", since they both at one point produced art!

Most people would see that as a pretty ridiculous comparison though. I don't think the comparison to Hitler is one that should be thrown around lightly

Well, yeah, if the contract would have normally continued, but they decided to call it off, then its considered canceled. Hell, we even call a TV show, for example, cancelled when the studio decides to not continue it.

We all know Disney got rid of Carano because of her public opinions. Lets not be coy or silly about this. Its not like they had plans to get rid of her prior to the controversy. I mean wasnt there even studio discussions about having her spin off another show or something?

Anyway, Disney had the right to discontinue her employment and so they cancelled her.

There's a lot of very vital and damning stuff between "Hitler did the Holocaust" and "Hitler drawed a picture" that warrants comparison between Hitler and Trump, and a lot of it draws a very fair comparison to Donald Trump, his policies and the ideals he spawns.

Disney had told Gina back in November that they were not impressed with what she was doing and that if she continued she would not be coming back.

Imo there is a lot of difference between, "[can] warrant comparison" and your initial comment I quoted, "comparisons are generally correct".

The latter is just so broad, it could be applied to just about anything, hence my art comment.

What I'm really driving at I suppose, is out of respect for the community that suffered beyond my comprehension under Hitler, that we avoid throwing his name around at anyone, without real discussion of policies/ideals. Don't just let it become a buzzword for anyone we disagree with!

Ok, so youre providing background info that bolsters what I said.

Disney warned Carano to stop, but she did not. The bad publicity was growing. Fast forward a few months and they get rid of her, AKA cancelled.

Sorry, I had some of that wrong.

It seems that in a Dec 10th meeting for investors and shareholders about the future of Star Wars, Gina Carano and her character was not involved in it at all, despite rumors circulating about a spin-off show. So it seems as far back as December they were already not really discussing her or promoting her anymore.

This is what she said:
Because history is edited, most people today dont 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,

So to get from that to what you paraphrased her would be the same level of leap to get from "Trump is Hilter" to "Trump is creating just the same level of evil as the man who gased and murdered millions of people in Germany"

No one that whines about cancel culture actually wants everyone to be held to the same standard. They want to remove standards because they don't want to be held responsible for what they say. Words are apparently meaningless, yet they can't stop saying them and want you to listen to them without say anything back.

You are so close.

People want to remove standards (for everybody) because they recognize freedom of speech as an ideal is the bedrock of what has caused us to be able to grow and evolve as a society. All the greatest social changes happened because people had the freedom to speak freely.

If Twitter existed in the 60s the powers that be would made sure Malcolm X was kicked off that shit right away. History is shaped by people saying stuff that others don't want to hear. So if your natural reaction to everybody who says something that upsets you is "obviously that's stupid and I shouldn't have to hear it" you are missing the point.

Do you even believe in freedom of speech as an ideal?
