Is Gina Carano single? Asking for a friend.

I tell ya, its fucking hilarious seeing the right and left switching sides on this. Back when Gina Carano got fired, the right were all “Cancel disney plus!!!” and the left were like “Freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences!!!”. And now its the left crying about free speech, and the right circlejerking “consequences”.
Humanity is fucked.

Gina got fired for something she did outside of her job. Jimmy got fired for doing the job he was hired to do, because a government official threatened his employer.
The first amendment is to protect against government censorship, it has no intention to protect you from public outcry. It should have protected Jimmy, but it’s irrelevant in the case of Gina.

Gina got fired because she was pointing out that she was getting rape and death threats over not putting pro nouns in her bio. All that all twitter did was delete them. Carr made remarks, but he had no power to do anything. Thats why there is no legal document or order. Because it would be illegal. So the drawing of a conclusion here would be an error. There was no “threat”. It would be like me threating you to stop posting here. I have no power to force that to happen. I can say it as much as I want, but who be right to just point and laugh at me.
In any case, it doesnt matter. Its all the same shit with the same arguments, and same “well actually, this is different because…”. Gina was right to draw attention to her online attacks, and disney was right to be want to be associated with the way that she went about it, as I think we can all agree it was dumb as fuck to use Jewish people in the analogy. In any analogy in fact.
In the case of Kimmel, hes just not funny. And I wouldnt be surprised if this just all turned out to be just a way to get out of the late night talkshow game by ABC, without breaking any contracts.

Yeah imma stop you right there.
If that thought even so much as crossed Carr's mind, why would he make any remarks at all? It costs nothing to keep his mouth shut, and it avoids any liability.
Committing crimes and getting away with it is a virtue to conservatives. Why won't they create a paper trail of their crimes, man I wonder. Anyway, release the Epstein files.

Never said she was fired for pro nouns, mate. Said she was fired because she was highlighting the abuse she was getting on twitter, in really dumb way. The fact she was posting a lot of nonsense, had nothing to do with it.
