Shapiro is trying to be a "great white saviour" that's why. The film is funded by a conservative right wing website called the "Daily Wire" owned by Shapiro. He's making a point to left wingers whom both Carano and Shapiro regularly mock on social media.
I don't know much about him, but I do know there are many antisemitic people on the left of politics, both here in Australia and over in the UK.
Why not also America?
Why wouldn't he lean to the conservative side of politics?
I am out of my depth here.
Oh but I didn't say anything about any politically left people being antisemitic, did I?
*I* said it.
I said it to make my point that I am not surprised he might have right-leaning sympathies.
What right leaning sympathies would those be?

Hiring Carano might be an indication.

Oh I see, sorry, I keep getting right and left mixed up. But I didn't think that giving Carano her own movie, as nothing more than spite to the left, was enough motivation for Shapiro to spend money on a movie. There must be other motives for him to make a movie, other than that one thing I thought.
You have lost me.
"Doesn't matter", like Con, the Grocer would say.

Quite possibly...I remember a "Con the Fruiterer", though (Never watched the show, but hard not to know about him)

George Orwell's prophecy is closer than ever.
A tad overdramatic don't you think?
On a seperate note It always amuses me how the same people who laud the robustness of western civilisation are so frightened of the downfall of civilisation due to not being able to watch some crap cartoon
Free speech is not about being able to watch some "crap cartoon". Free speech is the mechanism by which a free society fixes problems. If you cannot openly discuss controversial subjects out of fear of being cancelled, no problems can be brought up let alone solutions found. When a subject is politically incorrect, the problems grow and fester until they blow up as unresolvable crisis like the grooming gang problem in many UK communities or the issue of sexually confused children. Everyone is going to have their own take and prejudices, but opinions are not problematic and actual effecatious solutions can be argued in good faith without demonizing the other side.
No, that isn't being overly dramatic.

Interesting to see "Con the fruiterer" has gone the way of the dinosaur (or is it dodo?), along with other embarrassing "Australiana" like Hey hey it's Saturday" and the "Paul Hogan Show" (*cringe*)
I didn't take it seriously and found Australian humour enjoyable.
The Aussie larrikin era was a kak.
I am not a virtue-signaller, though.
