Cara Dune/Gina Carano should be hyped right now for being a female to look up to, and her right to have an opinion and speak up about it defines a big part of women’s month!

Great example of whataboutism. Two wrongs do not make a right. You can’t just point at another controversial topic and be like “oh, hey, they didn’t face repercussions for that, so this particular instance should be let go as well”.

Both are horrible and I’m glad at least one of these instances led to someone having to face consequences for their horrible behaviour.

Pedro pascal did the exact same comparison and he didn't get fired

Yeah, because he stopped when Disney told him.

Carano did not stop. That is the difference.

Exactly this. She didn't deserve what happened to her

Gina was told by Disney/Lucasfilm to shut up multiple times.

The fact that she didn’t makes her brave as hell and well-worthy of being included here.

There’s absolutely nothing brave about standing against racism. We all oppose racism.

And yet there is still serious racism and entire communities that will hate you if you try to bring that racism to their attention.

Maybe standing against racism isn't brave at your dinner table, but there are still people who get shit on for saying anything remotely anti-racist.

Disney constantly bend the knee to China who are engaging in genocide right now. So if you really care about “people of a particular faith or ethnicity “ then boycott Disney or get off your soapbox.
