Yet more reason to boycott Disney.
For reference, this is apparently what got her fired:
KilroywasNOTHere
"BEEP!"
it's not going to make a difference.
Wouldn't do anything, her best bet is to not make a mess so that she can quietly get rehired somewhere else, or hope that someone higher up the chain goes to bat for her (this is one of the few times a union would actually be useful, but this being a hollywood union, they're naturally not going to do anything).
It's infuriating to watch injustices like this play out, but sadly there's not much anyone can do, since the odds of getting a boycott big enough to actually matter are nonexistent.
Nah I doubt she's working again anytime soon, or at least not on anything significant. Her talent agency, UTA, apparently just dropped her as well.

I don't know what to think or how to feel anymore.

Don't obsess over it. We all have bills to pay, mouths to feed, and personal issues to rectify. Focus on that and when you can do something, like campaign to sack a RINO or spend boring hours video taping Democratic poll workers, do so. Avoid brands you know are woke when you can and back companies brave enough to stand out. Obviously you can't avoid all of them, but disciplined non-consumerism will eventually sap their strength if repeated often enough. This too will pass and even if it doesn't there are things bigger than politics.
Take care of yourself and do your best to improve your life and lives of those around you. And stockpile unregistered weapons and ammo for if/when they try to escalate past the bullshit footie games.
I have to point out that this isn't actually firing her. Mandalorian Season 2 is done with, and all of next year's shows aren't filming yet. So she is not actually hired for any active project; there's nothing to fire her *from*.
As to the actual substance of her controversial statements, she is absolutely correct in pointing out tht Nazi involved fomenting hate from ordinary citizens; the idea that only high ranking Nazi officials were part of it is dangerous historical revisionism. I would however point out that this historical revisionism comes from the victorious Allies' desire to rehabilitate Germany as an ally against the Soviet threat.
However, *expressing strong, angry disagreement with her political views* is not in any way comparable to *hating Jews for being Jewish*. Claiming that she's "being oppressed" by other people's hostile opinions is the exact same chorus that the extreme left sings, and it sounds no better coming from Carano as from any screeching radical feminist.
She was also dropped by her agency, which means it will be a lot harder for her to get a job.
she was just pointing out the truth.
We can claim she is being oppressed because she is. When the left does it, it is to virtue signal
There is indeed a parallel to be made here, as the regressive left has been working for years now to try to brainwash or intimidate people into hating their neighbors for essentially not being leftist. We've seen plenty of good examples of that over the years, and just recently we got another example in the form of a lady who was angry that her Trump-supporting neighbors actually helped her out by clearing her sidewalks/driveway of snow without asking anything in return.
And of couse the grabage pretending to be humans on twatter cheer this on as "consequences" for her words.
Remember when I warned you this would happen?
Now it happened!
Trust the Black Dragon, for he can see into both past and future.
And the future is dark and full of terrors!

The lesson here is that celebrities need to hire a social media manager or get the fuck off twitter.
It's actually completely different apparently. Off the top of my head. Krystina Arielle still works for Disney despite her comments about White people and Lucasfilm is even proud to stand by her.
Or how Pedro Pascal compared Trump Supporters to Nazis and Confederates. No fallout. No
And just recently a similar metaphor was floated by CNN's Anderson Cooper was able to compare Trump voters to the Hutus who perpetrated the Rwandan Genocide and Serbs who perpetrated the Bosnian Ethnic Cleansing.
All still employed of course... Or at least still have their talent agency representing them. To think there isn't a strong partisan standard would be foolish.

That's splitting hairs. Her Talent agency dropped her and Disney, even if they didn't technically fire her, is demeaning her character and putting as much distance between her and them as they can.
Those screeching radical feminists still have a job, unlike Carano, so that gives her a bit more credibility. And the issue her isn't that "people disagreed with her, loudly". You're allowed to disagree with public figures. The issue is that her detractors decided to form a mob and campaign for her to be fired, applying, as Husky noted, a transparent double standard in what comments are totally unacceptable and what aren't (and that they did so using a dishonest mischaracterization of her as well).
As for the actual substance of what she said, it seems broadly accurate, and even her detractors actually agree with her on that. Remember when the "calling liberals NPCs" meme was the big meme running around thing? I recall lots of comments from leftists (idiot leftists, granted) freaking out over it and going into hysterics about being dehumanized and "this how genocides start" and so on. All she did was apply that logic to the other side of the political spectrum.

If you don't want to be dehumanized, don't act like a freaking ape.
For reference, this is apparently what got her fired:
Geez that's almost as bad as this tweet.
🤔🤔🤔
The bottom picture is actually from boys waiting for food aid at a Palestinian Soup Kitchen in 2010 as well... but who cares at this point right?

how is what she said wrong? that's exacly how dehumanization starts. and the jews aren't the only one to face genocide. They weren't even the only ones in holocaust.
