Frankly, Disney seems to be going out of their way to piss off anyone who's to the political right of Mao.
The worst you can say about Carano's tweet was that it was hyperbolic. It was hardly offensive. But the woketards have been after her ever since she refused to play the pronoun game.
I don't follow Carano's tweets and have no opinion on her as a person. About Disney as a whole -- I agree that Disney has been leaning more to the left recently, but I don't believe in the slightest that it's genuine caring about the principle. Disney is a huge, long-standing corporation, and has proven to be a well-oiled machine to profit by manipulation. Somewhere in the company, it was determined that there was more profit in firing her than in keeping her.
In general, I find it dumb how people much attention people put into what celebrity actors say off the set. But, given that the public does pay attention and an actor's tweets can affect ticket sales, then the corporation is going to hire or fire based in part on Internet reputation.
Just for my own reference, I looked up what she said.
Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…. even by children.
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?
Regardless of whether it's offensive,
The point is the "offensiveness" was the justification for her firing. This is not a small detail.
this is simply wrong. The Nazi government didn't create anti-semitism in Germany. It used the existing anti-semitism as an excuse to justify taking power.
She didn't say the Nazi government created anti-semitism. The Nazis used an enourmous propoganda program to convince people that Jews were an existential threat. They convinced people that anti-semitism was
justified.https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-propaganda I also think it's stupid to use the horrendous actions of the Nazi political party to say that one shouldn't hate people for their political views.
I think it's hypocritical that Pedro Pascal used Holocaust imagery, that remains on twitter, and Disney has yet to comment.

But I don't agree that it's stupid. Everyone is capable of horrendous actions in reaction to a threat narrative. Putting Nazi germany and the Holocaust up on a historical pedestal prevents us from learning from it.
