'CancelDisneyPlus' Trends After Actress Gina Carano Was Fired Over Social Media Post

Keneci Channel

The Mandalorian star shared a slew of someone else's posts on her Instagram story Tuesday night.

One of the post compared today's left-wing hateful cancel culture to the hate that that ultimately led to the holocaust during the second world war.

The post reads:

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers buy by their neighbors… even by children,” read one of Carano’s social media posts in question, according to a purported screenshot. “‘Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?'”

The 38 year-old actress and MMA star deleted the post Wednesday as left-wing activists on social media called for her firing. 'FireGinaCarano' trended on Twitter.

By late Wedneday night, news circulated on social media that Lucasfilm fired Carano who is in the cast of The Mandalorian the popular Disney Plus-Star Wars spinoff series. UTA also dropped her as a client.

“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

Within hours of the reports that the Walt Disney Co. fired Carano, the backlash to the backlash started. 'CancelDisneyPlus' started trending on social media.

Many people on social media were dumbfounded by the backlash against Carano since the post she shared is rational and apt, given the hate and coordinated harassment directed at anyone that says anything the left disapproves of.

Some critics on social media pointed out the fact that Disney filmed Mulan in China — and even thanked officials operating security near the northwestern Xinjiang region, where a concentration camp for Uyghur Muslims operates.

Critics also noted a double standard. In a 2018 tweet, Carano's co-star Pedro Pascal attempted to smear the Trump administration by comparing the detention of migrant children at the border to Nazi concentration camps. Pascal was not fired.

"I loved The Mandalorian, but this is too much," Robert wrote on Gab. "Pedro Pascal was allowed to spew his liberal views and they did nothing to him. She is educated, and an independent thinker. That is why people hate her."
