Well said wolfie.

For anyone who is curious I'd suggest actually looking for the image in question.

There is nothing antisemetic about it. There is nothing close to holocaust denial in it -- in fact the opposite is true. It's a warning about treating your neighbors well, and how society can degrade if part of society is demonized.

To be clear I think the comparison is overwrought, but it certainly isn't anti-Jew, or denial of anything.

There are some subjects that are just so toxic, they can not be brought up without offending someone. If a person is not part of that specific community, or has not lived in that time, or can offer no first hand knowledge of the matter, they had better keep their mouth shut about it. Carano choose to dive into one of those subjects head first.

Even if she was expressing what she regards as a valid point, it was done extremely and poorly. Perhaps she was gunning for a law suit against Disney, as her relationship with the studio already appeared frayed. I really don't see how she wouldn't think she wouldn't be fired once complaints came in.

There are a lot of side issues and principles that can be raised in support or condemnation of her, but you know, it really doesn't matter. Just a bit of common sense, she said what she said and what happened is no surprise.

And yet Pedro Pascal made the same comparison 2 years ago, with no backlash.

There are RUMORS from multiple sources that are saying Gina Carano will be returning to Mandalorian. Apparently, Disney was not expecting the significant backlash they received. The backlash affected things like subscribers cancelling Disney+, the lower-than-expected ratings for both WandaVision and also Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Jon Favreau has apparently been lobbying for Carano's return. Also, Kathleen Kennedy is getting a lot of heat regarding the Star Wars franchise losing money.

Again, these are rumors but fans are getting excited about the possibility. Disney is taking notice.

I hope that doesn't mean her card values will start to drop.

I don't see it happening because Disney would have to admit a mistake. Plus if they reconcile after the things said, it makes all parties a bunch of hypocrites. Not that it ever stopped anybody.

Disney basically did the same thing when they publicly fired and then eventually rehired James Gunn.

True, but A. Gunn apologized for what he called immature behavior and threw himself on his sword and B. he is far more important to Disney movies than Carano's role makes her. Especially when she was just as confrontational to the studio when she was fired.

The two situations are not equal.
