Huh? It has nothing to do with masks. It literally was just a message that the fractured political environment is bad and you shouldn't hate your neighbors.

Sure, Jan. She'll be happy to hear it's all a misunderstanding and she can clear that right up.
For real, are you also arguing that she wasn't aware of Disney's expectations? Because it sure seems like she was and chose to do her thing anyway. Which I respect more then mewling on the internet about how there should be laws preventing companies from firing you for public comments, fuck all that.

The problem here is it’s only being applied to one side. I see corporate posts about BLM all the time. It’s accepted and praised. You say all lives matter though? Fired.

So youre just going to ignore the fact Disney happily kept Gunn even after he made endless comments are about FUCKING CHILDREN in very graphic ways?

Nothing in the post she was supposedly fired for was either untrue, controversial, or in the slightest bit antisemetic. At no point was she comparing the holocaust to the current cancel culture, but rather talking about the run up that led to it. Shit we can all see with our own eyes.
The real reason she finally got axed is because the chosen people do not like it when anyone muscles in on that sweet sweet holocaust guilt they have been using like a trump card for over a century. They especially do not like it when they are essentially pulling the same shit that was done to them without any trace of remorse or self awareness. And they really do not like it when someone popular, white, and attractive does this. They want that special card all to themselves to play whenever they are about to be called on their bullshit.
But the real controversy here is that unlike the chosen people, conservatives did not create the Weimar depravity and red shirt street violence that they did. The same shit they are doing now with the tranny, alphabet people, religion of peace, reparations, and open borders clown car world they are trying to turn the country into. Not a one of them wants anyone to bring up Weimar because, as Gina said herself, history has been rewritten to obscure the reason that suddenly one day for no reason at all......
And the great irony is old Uncle Walt knew these people for who they were, but now his company is overrun by them and being used to undermine the vary value system he once stood for. And they even had a pedo play him in a biopic to boot. This Gina firing is just the latest in a bunch of victory lapping the woke crowd at the mouse is doing. And I am pretty sure after working for days with a tranny loving TDS guy who whined on set constantly when he is arguably the most replicable part of the show, she basically did the Hollywood version of suicide by mod. I actually respect her for sacking her career for her beliefs. But its not over for her, because she pulled the curtain back on something the string pullers really do not want talked about. She will be banned all over SocMedia an probably sued into poverty. Remember, dead or in chains is all they will settle for.

Seriously, do you ever read anything beyond a headline or actually look into things?
Where does it talk about masks, or comparing masks to Nazis. She was literally just talking about not dehumanizing your neighbor due to the political rhetoric on TV (You know, where major media is literally discussing summarily executing Trump supporters....)
Please explain it to me.

Context matters. This has been an ongoing thing. To spell it out:
Company losing hundreds of millions due to park closures, reduced tourist visits, travel restrictions
Company wants to lure people back, so it needs to convince people they can handle things safely and in turn family will be safe
High profile person under your umbrella is basically equating what you are doing to bring business back is an oppressive action and you are part of the problem, and they keep pushing this message even after they are told not to
What do you think the likely outcome is there?

I think most people here aren't saying that what Disney did with firing her was what they'd have done, just that it wasn't exactly unexpected. If you work for some company that presents a certain image and get told to stop doing a certain thing, and you keep doing that thing what do you expect is going to happen? Is it hypocritical on their part? Sure, probably, but you can either fall in line with your employer or if it's too much you can find other work.

you didn’t post the story she immediately posted after that one. And again, context.
And Phoenix, Gunn was rehired after time had passed. Maybe Gina gets rehired. Who the fuck knows, this literally just happened.

I am not ignoring anything, you're ignoring the facts of the situation, at least as much as we know, because you have strong feelings about other situations. I don't think Gunn should have been fired either. But he was, quite publicly, and it wasn't until public backlash and industry relations spoke out that the situation was fixed. They certainly didn't "happily keep him."
What is it you think should have happened here? Disney has clearly communicated their expectations to her and she has clearly refused to follow. I'd be fired for that in my job and no one would bat an eye. How would that firing be legit and this one not? Because she happens to say a thing you agree with sometimes? Come on.

its blatantly obvious at this point that the "firings" of their friends are basically just a "time out" with expectations that they will be rehired after the bullshit blows over.
i have yet to see even 1 person who's not a hollywood bootlicking leftist who has been "rehired" in similar way

Wait. The "meanwhile in California" post where she was poking fun at someone wearing like a dozen masks, which no governing authority is remotely calling for?
1.) How are these posts related.
2.) How does poking fun at people who go overboard with masks speak of oppression? (Note: Disney is only speaking of the Holocaust post too).

You're literally ignoring the fact that she wasn't talking about masks and made no comparison of the people enforcing masks to Nazis. At all.
Literally ignoring it.

If she wasn't talking about the masks (or rather the larger mask debate), she has a weird way of showing it given the context of her social media posts that followed and her previous comments. If she wasn't, she could clear that right up though, idk. It doesn't matter, except in that I find that to be a gross thing to do. Disney apparently thought she was. Which is the real issue here, Disney doesn't owe her a spinoff, and she didn't want to tow the company line. I love a good fuck you to "the man" but you can't be a rebel AND a whiner.
