Cancel culture

I've been told by the talking heads that cancel culture is a boogeyman made up by the right and just does not exist.

It's not cancel culture, it's consequences

For many years I have said that D company was the Enemy and people said why. Ever since they locked away “Song of the South” I saw what this company was doing, it was trying to water down and homogenize our culture. Our culture has been brutal and violent since the Spanish came to Mexico and the English came to Virginia. That D company has tried to sissify our culture by producing sweet assed cartoons that try to portray our culture as one that attempts to get along with everyone. It was Never that way.

That she would be able to express her thoughts and opinions like every liberal/socialist could do.

The left is openly implementing nazi tactics, then punishing those who dare to call them out for it (which is a nazi tactic).

Maybe they used this as a reason to fire her because her acting is so bad.

But yeah, she should sue. She said nothing inaccurate and her costar was treated much differently.

No, the correct OT response is to point out the blatant hypocrisy of Carano getting fired for something she says, yet other Disney actors not having any negative repercussions for what they say. Because they say the Correct. Things.
The Left constantly says "corporations aren't people, they have no business being involved in politics" now cheer on their advocacy for "the narrative".

So a company not liking leftist views wouod likely lean right. Those suckers actually believe in freedom of speech, so they are not likely to fire some that reason.

Also that would be different and would be wrong and unacceptable because, well it just would be and the reason would be obvious if you were not a racist.

She lost her job because she criticized the most protected group of people on earth. They also happen to run Hollywood. Bad combination, not sure how she thought that was going to work out.

Bad choice of words on my part. She made a comparison to the most protected group of people on earth. One that was bound to piss them off.

How did she criticize Jews? Are y’all crazy? She talked about how awful Jews were treated

She made the point of how they were treated horrifically by more than just Nazis

Yeah I worded it badly. She just made a comparison, but you know they're not going to react to that well.

Reading comprehension problems, combined with the mentality that if you so much as reference the Jewish community, even if done so in a positive manner, you are racist.

Don’t see the problem ... don’t like her firing, don’t support Disney.

Kinda like declining to make cakes for gay weddings.

How many Disney employees have been fired for sharing political opinions that are to the left though? you post would be fine if they behaved consistently, but you already knew that.

She wasn't fired for sharing political beliefs, she was fired for sharing the "wrong" political beliefs. That should be a horrifying thought to anyone that is rational, but in this day and age, not many are.
