The thing is, I said they deserved to be fired, hence the confusion. I asked you to clarify who “they” are. You did, and I said if they were also tweeting problematic things after Disney told them to stop, then they deserved to be let go. So I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
I’m not even sure anymore as my post you’re referring to has been edited by a moderator. They edited yours too. Are we bickering towards each other? No, right?
I don’t remember engaging with you in discussion at all prior to last night, to be honest. I also don’t remember talking about Gunn and his tweets either, but even if I didn’t, are you suggesting that I’m okay with them? Does someone have to always express their views either verbally or in written form if they disagree? I don’t talk about a lot of things or people I don’t agree with. That doesn’t mean I actually do agree, it just means I sometimes keep my thoughts to myself.
We have discussed things on numerous occasions. It’s alright if you don’t recall who I am. You stick out to me because you are the resident Disneylander. As for James Gunn, I didn’t say you spoke about that either. All said was how I don’t recall you being vocal about that being how insensitive his “jokes” were, which by the way are far worse than anything Gina Carano has posted.
You don’t need to post every time you disagree on certain things, I just find it amusing how you literally came out of nowhere to say...
Carano was fired for refusing to listen to her employer and continuing to tweet problematic things.
You later went on to say that she dissed trans people, which she did not. I think she was just messing around, it’s just unfortunate that she wanted to mess around with the wrong crowd.
Fellas like Rian Johnson and Pablo Hidalgo are always trolling fans. Fans voice their displeasure to the company and the company does nothing! James Gunn makes inappropriate jokes regarding pedophilia, the company parts ways with him for a while only to later rehire him when there was absolutely no investigation to follow up on those disturbing tweets. There is zero evidence that Carano is anti-trans and pro-nazi. On the contrary though, a lot of people misunderstood her point.
When you have the chance, please check out this video. Forget about the political side these folks are on for a few minutes and give it a listen, it explains Carano’s situation in depth and may help you find the clarification you need.
What does she have to do with this? Everyone picks and chooses what is offensive or not. I don’t dislike Carano, nor do I like her. I had never heard of her prior to her first being called out for her tweets. I’m also not offended by her tweets. I found them bizzarre and distasteful, yes. I don’t want to spend any extra time I have getting to know her because I don’t care to. I could flip this and encourage people who are so incredibly upset about Splash’s change to go and educate themselves on Joel Chandler Harris’ racist Uncle Remus stories, how some of that racism transferred to Disney’s Song of the South, connect that with the historically poor racial relationship between African Americans and American society, as well as the experiences of African Americans in this country, and try to see the change from a different view. Many of you don’t and won’t care to do something like that though and will continue to mention “the woke mob,” Twitter, “SJWs,” “the left,” and so on.
I am aware of the offensive nature written within the pages of Joel Chandler Harris books and how some of the elements were brought over into the Song of the South. Though, Splash Mountain does not play with those same offensive tropes as displayed in the film or novels. It does away with it, not to mention that there are a lot of folks out there that are not aware of the Song of the South’s existence.
