Here's a primer from memory on how Gina Carano acted from someone who watched it unfold.

Someone asked her to use pronouns. She pretended ignorance. It was explained, and she showed her transphobia. Then as she acted like a complete jerk...she only engaged IN BAD FAITH with
trolls and occasionally punching down hard on people who were trying to explain it to her. Then she mocked them repeatedly. Then she set the mob on them...repeatedly.

She blocked other well known check marked accounts who tried to explain it to her and called out her bigotry.
For several days there it was a joke which other checkmark who pointed out her bigotry would get blocked by her and have bigots parachute in their mentions next.

As the beep/bop/boop mockery went on.

THEN Pedro Pascal, the star of the show she works on...called it out.
THAT was when she removed the beep/bop/boop

Which was yes, mocking trans people. She's retconned it. It was very clear what it was.

Google will provide NUMEROUS articles about it from when it was going on.
THEN and ONLY THEN because you know...STAR OF THE SHOW SHE WORKS ON (and clearly some shit going on behind the Lucasfilm scenes)

she again removed the beep/bop/boop claimed she 'just didn't understand' but now she did...
except also she was ONLY addressing bullying! But was it she didn't get it? Or was it she was addressing bullying?

yeah. Got real muddled there in her backtracking. Except of course to say she didn't HATE trans people...no no no.

But SHE wouldn't be putting pronouns in HER bio
(Because she's a bigot. And her beliefs are, according to her, just as valid. She doesn't accept trans people.)

Also during all this we got:

Anti mask tweets
Anti vaccination nonsense
STOP THE STEAL bullshit

etc.
Which people addressed and found ...more than a little problematic because

they're anti-science, anti-reality, and fucking dangerous idiocy.

Not 'just mah opinion' conservatism.

And more than that, but those are the highlights.
She also moved to Palor during her transphobia bullshit, so she could be 'free' and among her own kind. She said something to that affect, tho not verbatim.

WE NOW KNOW DURING THIS TIME BACK IN NOV THAT DISNEY PULLED BACK ON GIVING HER HER OWN SERIES DUE TO THESE ACTIONS
Then, the Holocaust tweet. Which ofc we have seen so many bad faith defenses of.

Her words speak for themselves. And the fact she REMOVED it, illustrates she realizes how fucking bad it was.
Claiming accountability is the same slippery slope that led to GENOCIDE

is fucking ridiculous on its face. It's also grossly, grossly insensitive, anti-sematic and once again the bully is playing victim because she doesn't want to be ACCOUNTABLE.
This is literally a

but why can't *I* say the n-word argument.

You can. You'll just be held to account for it.

BUT WHY CAN BLACK PEOPLE ...

BUT PEDRO MADE A REFERENCE TO NAZIS THEREFORE IT IS THE SAME.

Bad faith bullshit that she RT'd and supported.
Nevermind that Pedro compared ICE holding children to Nazism...

which actual Holocaust survivors did as well.

Nope. It's the same as Gina whining she can't be a bigot without consequences.

They are the same. According to ...people who think like her and support her.
MEANWHILE

Disney didn't fire her. Lucasfilm didn't fire her.

Her contract was done for the season.

If she hadn't been a flaming asshole she might well have had her own show.

But she's a flaming asshole so they don't want to work with her again.

That's not being fired.
That's a company responding to someone they worked with being a flaming asshole and fans (who watch and spend money on the franchise) asking 'Uh...'

And them finally saying 'Yeah we know. We're done too'

Accountability. That she frankly should've faced months earlier but ...
they gave her a lot of rope.

So that's it. It's not because she's 'conservative'. There's plenty of 'conservatives' still working in Hollywood. Hey look there's Chris Pratt.

It's because she's a bigot.

But for most conservatives I guess that's the same thing.
NOW those are the facts of what happened based purely on my memory of watching it unfold.

HERE IS MY OPINION.

When she went to palor over the beep/bop/boop shit, when she got called out FINALLY by Pedro, when her series was pulled back on?

THIS IS WHAT I THINK HAPPENED
I THINK she got into convos with hard core bigots like herself.

I THINK she decided to keep pushing it and keep pushing it.

I THINK she wanted to be publicly dumped

I THINK she had all that shit lined up so she could then play victim and leap to...Ben Shapiro's project.
Because I think once they pulled back on giving her her own series? She had already finished all of season 2.

They pulled back on the series, they weren't having her back on the show. This was obvious. Rather than just letting it fade out, as they would've done?
She keeps pushing it to it's inevitable confrontation point, then she can play darling victim of the liberal media for the conservatives.

The grift goes on.

Anyhoo I wish her and Kevin Sorbo all the best in God's Not Dead 8 or whatever.
