Biggie Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I like every Star Wars movie ever made. Sure I may have a few favorites that I enjoy watching more over some of the others. But I would still watch all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just because a lot of Star Wars YT personalities hate anything that could even resemble PC/woke culture.

I watched one video from a flat earther just to see/hear some of the crazy first hand, and for over a week I kept getting recommended videos from the other flat earthers. There is definitely a strong correlation of channels supporting Gina and thinking TLJ is the worst SW movie ever made, because for shits and giggles I did check a few of them out and they still won't shut up about TLJ ruining the franchise. If Youtube's algorithm was actually fair, I would be getting a lot more recommended channels for Barbie shows and Minecraft, because my nieces and nephews love to watch that while logged into my account on the TV, than I do for right-wing bullshit which I watch far less often. It's crazy to see the echo chamber in action, because these channels believe more people support Gina's side than Disney's decision. Also, Youtube recommended Shapiro's channel like a month ago and I immediately hit the "Don't recommend channel EVER AGAIN" button and wouldn't you know it today I get the Welcome to the Rebellion interview on my feed.

CayceG Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I can 100% buy that Carano isn't very plugged in to politics and that's how all this came to be. But being a participant in harmful and anti-Semitic political rhetoric while consuming political thought from Shapiro still does harm. She isn't a true believer in fascism, but she's useful to those who are. And that's not to say she's the only one at fault here. She's also a victim of these political novices being fed propaganda and encouragement by people like Shapiro and whoever else she's listened to/read. They're the ones putting this garbage in front of millions of people from Gina Carano to your own meemaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She claims Shapiro’s book from a couple years ago was the first book on politics she had ever read. 2020 was the first election she ever voted in even though she is 38.

It's a gross terrible take, but it's not anti semitic. The underlying assumption of her comparison is that what happened to jews was utterly abhorrent. It's just a grossly egotistical and brain dead jump to then think that people disliking your political beliefs is comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Yeah, I don’t see it quite as anti-Semitic, but it is disgraceful. It is such a dishonor to the events that happened. It screams of being tone deaf to seeing the difference in being judged for things you choose to believe and say, versus systematic incarcerated and extermination because you were born. so of course such a comparison was going to offend people. And as I’ve said before, people have been fired for less from a social media post of their’s. Whether or not it’s “right” doesn’t change that it “is”. You think Fox News wouldn’t fire an on-air-personality who compared being a Democrat to being a Jew in late 1930s Europe on their own social media page? Freedom of speech doesn’t mean speech is consequence free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It’s fine to be naive to politics or political takes, everyone has to start somewhere. But if your foot in the door involves comparing yourself to Jews in Nazi Germany, maybe cool off for a fucking minute before mashing send? Come on, now. I didn’t know any Armenians or about Armenian genocide until I moved to Watertown, MA, and my first reaction wasn’t to talk about how my specific struggles were pretty similar. This isn’t difficult. And unless my recall of events is wrong, Pascal talked to her about her putting something like “beep/boop/bop” in her twitter bio to poke fun at people listing their pronouns wasn’t cool, so it’s not like this was the first time, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, she has a ton of bad takes on her social media. As I recall there was also anti-mask stuff for Covid, the pronouns thing as you mentioned, this "not anti-Semitic but pretty fucking bad" take on comparing onesself to Jews during the Holocaust. It's not just one thing for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Remember that she has probably been punched in the head like 10,000 times. I'm not listening to that. I really don't care. I can't get too wrapped up in this... I really just do not care. I was more offended that she had the audacity to be a Trump supporter and then complain about politicians trying to divide people and sow hate. Like, how fucking obtuse do you have to be? I don't a fuck about the anti-semitism... it's just so fucking stupid. Utterly daft. Just, how... how fucking deranged would you have to be to see the last 5 years or whatever and have that ridiculous, utter shit, garbage opinion be your take-away? You would have to be the stupidest most ignorant mother fucker on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
