Yup. I wouldn't mind having the part recast at all. I like the character but not the performance.

I agree it's a pattern of behavior. I can also hold more than one thought at a time... I don't celebrate people losing their jobs over social media posts, I hate nazi comparisons from both sides, I hate the victomhood industry mindset, and I believe that companies can hire and fire whoever they want.

I thought she was a shitty actress. Apparently she’s also a shitty person. Good riddance.
If people don’t realize the shit they say on social media can seriously fuck upset their lives/careers, then they have been living in a cave the last few years.

It's not just that she's conservative, she's been borderline Qanon. There's more than the Nazi tweet. It's been a series of covid denial, anti-vaxx, anti-trans (mocking people who put pronouns in their bio with putting beep-bop-boop in hers) memes.
She was posting election theft memes after the election.

She's been doing it since the end of last year so I'm sure she was warned since Disney didn't fire her then, For someone who's not a major part of the series. I imagine Disney didn't want to deal with it,

I think they should try to recast the character. If they can't just kill/write her off.

Spoiler:
It seemed like Mando would be heading to Mandalore with Bo Katan anyway.

I don’t know who her agent is but the chances of her agent, or somebody high up in the agency, being Jewish is pretty high.

Being dropped by her agency is practically a given.

I think we only cancel certain individuals on a case by case basis and when the social media police demand it.

I mean... Ricky Gervais seems pretty successful and look at all the shit he says.

Who knows, there may be a witch hunt for Pedro Pascal in 10 years for something he said back on MySpace.

So you can't provide a SINGLE example of someone saying something close to this offensive and getting away with it to make your point? That is some pretty pathetic whataboutism right there.

I'd be OK if they recast her with someone cool like Lucy Lawless.

I'm also fine with the Poochie approach, even though I enjoyed the character (not the actress).

You're comparing a 15yo saying racist things then regretting them as an adult to a grown woman saying being a Republican is the same as being Jewish during the Holocaust? Really?

I didn’t think her acting was that bad like most and enjoyed the Cara character. She definitely messed up with making a dumbass comment like she did though. Like others have said she has a pattern of say stupid crap too so she did herself in.

Yes.

Lets not kid ourselves.

If someone doesn't agree with the prevailing narrative or narratives (whatever they are)... they are immediately shunned, cancelled, persecuted, fired, etc. I think that much is pretty obvious, especially in the last year.

With that being said, it's different strokes for different folks. Hell, the harassment thread in the movie forum can pretty much back that up.

Yeah, Cabello also isn't the star of a TV series, she's representing herself - not a brand - there. I guess her 15 year old self wasn't enough to get her dropped from her label.

I'm not a fan of people going through people's tweet history to find a reason to hate them, at the same time, people should know to erase the creepy shit if they're in the public spotlight. If you're broadcasting phrases like "women shouldn't vote" and "I used to kidnap homeless women and cut off their breasts." you probably aren't going to be a great representative for programming on the CW.

Celebs will eventually need to realize that Twitter isn't different than saying this shit in an interview or on live TV, you're broadcasting it.

They're brand representative, and even though Gugino didn't actually get fired for her tweet yesterday, it will make future employment a little more difficult, or at least come with more "social media clauses."

As for Hartley, he was canceled for saying stupid shit and from my understanding he’s a liberal, so what’s the point? He got canceled for his actions and the whole thing is that if some are really apologetic about it, they tend to at least be given a second chance. Carano kept going back to the well to be extremely offensive, almost like if she really wanted to be fired from Hollywood

I agree that the prevailing narrative is that people who are trying to overthrow the government shouldn’t be compared with people who were systematically murdered for their religion/ethnicity.

Jewish people being in a much worse position DURING the Holocaust compared to Republicans today is not a "prevailing narrative".

Pedro has said some pretty nasty stuff on social media but since the stuff he's saying is against conservatives, he won't get fired.
