If you are a Star Wars fan, particularly if you watched The Mandalorian on Disney+, you might probably be aware of the addled, ignorant, and offensive right-wing social media posts from Gina Carano, the actor who played the badass Cara Dune character, that eventually got her fired. That was around three years ago.
Well, now she is suing Disney for political and gender discrimination wanting a monetary reward and — I’m serious — to force Disney to recast her as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian series. The lawsuit is being bankrolled by — drum roll please….Twitter/X and Elon “pedo guy” Musk.
In case you need a refresher, like all sad, dumb MAGA animals, Carano expects exercising her right to freedom of speech protects her from others exercising their freedom of speech in response. She used her celebrity and position in a Star Wars franchise to misinform and make fun of other Americans on various social media. I won’t link to any of “pedo guy” ‘s businesses, but you can find them online easily enough
In the lawsuit she claims “wrongful discharge and sex discrimination” and suggests that her own words and actions doesn’t make her alt-right, but in the fine right-wing tradition of “taking personal responsibility,” she shifts blame to Disney, writing, “[Disney] consistently twisted to demonize and dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist.”
But as Bette Davis said to Joan Crawford in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, “But you are Blanche! You are!”
