Gina Carano axed from the Mandalorian

Post Reply New Topic

Sadly Gina Carano has been axed from the Mandalorian for making daft social media posts.
You would have thought she would have been wiser than to have done something as silly as that.
Especially in this world of sensationalism, where one tiny wrong is enough to ruin a persons career.

Sorry to see her go. She was a great looking talent that certainly added to how great that show was.
Great martial artist, great actress and sweetheart.

Sorry for her.
Gina Carano gets axed from the Mandolorian

Another thread on this subject exists HERE.

Too bad, Cara Dune was an excellent character. Mandalorian has done a good job of introducing some good and memorable characters.

Edit: whoops, totally misjudged what she said! I do that sometimes. what she said was still not good at all. Bringing the Holocaust into the conversation is not a good idea unless the discussion is actually about the Holocaust.

While her talent may be good, it is certainly not great enough to have helped her keep her job.

Indeed.

Wasn't it a bad idea to axe her though, since her character on the show was popular and it could effect ratings for deciding to all of a sudden get rid of a character people liked?

But I am also surprised that people took her holocaust comment seriously enough to fire her, because nowadays whenever someone wants to compare something to a tragedy, they always use the holocaust or nazis as a comparison. Nazis and the holocaust are pretty much standard analogies in most debates on social media, so I am surprised since she used a standard analogy that so many people use in debates among modern life in the US on social media.

It would not be the first time that a character was re-cast (or killed off) after an actor was dismissed.

While difficult for some fans, this is just business-as-usual for DisneyCo.

It is?

I think so. On social media people are always compares life in the the U.S. to the holocaust or nazis every where you look. So I don't think what she says was any more abnormal than what you see dozens of American post on social media everyday, and therefore, shouldn't be treated as such an abomination compared to what others get away with saying.

I agree,"Nazi" thrown around waaaay too often.

I mean people on here even often use nazis as a comparison to things, but you don't see us members on here, being fired from our jobs over it for example. Just seems like an overreaction if other people are allowed to do it.

There is an essential difference between calling someone a Nazi (which serves as a placeholder for anything ranging from worst human being imaginable to mindless follower of inhumane policies or ideas) - and comparing a group that's being harassed in some way to the Jews and the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.

The first one is an insult, but the second one is insulting the adversary by appropriating the unimaginable suffering of one ethnicity at the hand of another.

I find calling someone a Nazi somewhat tasteless, but unless you're restructuring your society to the sole purpose of exterminating me based on my genetics, I'd stay faaaar away from comparing myself to the Jewish people in Nazi Germany.

Oh okay, but what context was she saying this quote in? I found the quote but what exactly is she talking about when she is comparing it to America, or what in America particularly is she comparing it to?

She is still fired, and nothing said in this thread is going to change that.

Yeah I know, I just don't understand how her comments were seen as anti-semetic. She was using jewish people as an example of persecution, but it's not anti-semetic to say that I don't think. Just because a group of people were persecuted, doesn't mean you are against those people, if you use them as an example, I don't think.

I mean if a person were to say Jewish people were never persecuted and the holocaust never happened, and the nazis loved Jewish people, for example, isn't that more racist than saying it did happen and there was persecution?
