Making original films for young men isn’t that hard, but you have to quit pushing gay race communism and appeal to masculine virtue.Making original films for young men isn’t that hard, but you have to quit pushing gay race communism and appeal to masculine virtue.Disney Settles With Gina Carano In Wrongful Termination Lawsuit
The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm announced Thursday that they have settled with actress Gina Carano in a lawsuit she filed against the entertainment giants last year for alleged wrongful termination. “We have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies,” a Lucasfilm representative said in a statement. […]Disney taps out after lengthy fight with Gina Carano over wrongthink
Texas-born actress and former mixed martial artist Gina Carano played the character Cara Dune on the hit Disney series "The Mandalorian," providing the franchise with a genuinely strong female protagonist.
The House of Mouse, which has long tolerated extreme rhetoric and controversial views from its liberal talent, proved unwilling to permit Carano's expression of mainline conservative views during the pandemic, giving her the boot.
No shrinking violet, Carano fought back against the corporate giant. On Thursday, she was rewarded for her perseverance.
How it started
In February 2021 — following the conclusion of the second season of "The Mandalorian" — Lucasfilm canned the actress, letting her find out herself from second-hand sources.
"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 obtained by the Hollywood Reporter. "Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."
In previous months, Carano enraged LGBT radicals by jokingly stating her pronouns were "beep/bop/boop," enraged Covidians with her criticism of pandemic mask policies, and enraged Democrats by urging for voter ID laws.
However, the straw that broke the mouse's back was Carano's social media post pointing out parallels between COVID authoritarianism and the rise of Nazi Germany and the worsening political climate.

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors ... even by children," the post said. "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?"
'They will fire you if you say anything they disagree with, even if they have to MISREPRESENT, MALIGN, and MISCHARACTERIZE you to do it.'
While Carano's post was characterized as "abhorrent" and unwarranted, she was writing around the time that polling showed that 45% of Democrats supported throwing the unvaccinated into camps and that 48% of Democrats supported federal or state governments fining or imprisoning Americans who questioned the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines on social media, TV, radio, or in digital publications.
Responding to Lucasfilm's claims about her "denigrating posts," Carano said in a February 2024 statement,
The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.
After noting further that "artists do not sign away our rights as American citizens when we enter into employment," Carano announced that she had taken up Elon Musk's offer of legal support for those fired over lawful exercises of free speech.
Carano sued Disney in early 2024 for alleged wrongful termination and sex discrimination.

When Disney tried in April 2024 to throw out the lawsuit, Carano put them on blast, writing, "Disney has confirmed what has been known all along, they will fire you if you say anything they disagree with, even if they have to MISREPRESENT, MALIGN, and MISCHARACTERIZE you to do it."
How it turned out
Hours after writing, "The truth will set you free," Carano announced on Thursday evening that she had come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm, suggesting it "is the best outcome for all parties involved."
In addition to thanking Elon Musk — "a man I've never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit" — the actress expressed gratitude to her lawyers, her supporters, and God.
"I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me," added Carano.
A Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement to Variety, "The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies. Ms. Carano was always well-respected by her directors, co-stars and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect."
"With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future," added the spokesperson.

Why Netflix Hit KPop Demon Hunters Went Viral While Disney’s Elio Flopped
KPop Demon Hunters knows what it is, producing an infinitely better story than if the creators had tried to push an agenda for a quick cash grab.Shane Gillis’ ESPY Monologue Proves Woke Is On The Run
A mass rejection of nonsense is exactly what society needs.Comedian Shane Gillis shocks ESPN crowd with Epstein and illegal alien jokes: 'This is Disney'
Comedian Shane Gillis has been synonymous with the downfall of cancel culture ever since his firing from "Saturday Night Live" skyrocketed his career.
Gillis was fired from the sketch-comedy show in 2019 for doing impressions of Chinese people on his podcast, and since then, he has filled arenas, starred in his own Netflix series, and become a podcasting juggernaut.
The comedian's love of sports, especially football, has kept him connected to that world, and surprisingly, he was tapped by Disney's ESPN to host its annual award show last night, the ESPYs.
Gillis was as offensive as always, leaving mouths agape in shock more than once.
'Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, guess it got deleted.'
Gillis wasted no time bringing up deportations of illegal immigrants and President Trump, saying that Trump was hoping Gillis would capture New York Mets' Dominican baseball star Juan Soto at the award show.
"Joe Rogan wanted me to be here to host this award show so that I could capture [NBA Commissioner] Adam Silver, because Joe thinks he's an alien. And Donald Trump wanted me to be here to capture Juan Soto for the same reason."
As audience members buried their heads in their hands, Gillis added, "It's an alien joke. Who booed? Shut up!"
The Philadelphia comedian then poked fun at the president for wanting to host a UFC event on the White House lawn.
"The last time he staged a fight in D.C., Mike Pence almost died," Gillis joked about January 6, 2021.
The crowd was more receptive to that joke, with Gillis telling the audience they did not have to keep quiet. "You don't have to do that, it was fine, I didn't write it," he laughed.
Then, Gillis hammered the president with a Jeffrey Epstein joke.

"Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, guess it got deleted," Gillis immediately continued. "Probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed, actually. Let's move on as a country and ignore that."
While jokes at the president's expense got cheers from the crowd, Gillis took huge shots at athletes and even the WNBA that quieted the room for a brief period.
As is typical of award show hosts, Gillis calmly pointed to an apparent female basketball player in the crowd and thanked her for being there.
"Four-time WNBA All-Star Brittany Hicks is here, give it up for Brittany," he said. The crowd responded to the prompt with loud applause. But Gillis had set a trap for the audience.
"I'm joking around, that's my friend's wife. I knew none of you knew WNBA players. That's crazy you clapped for that," he revealed.
The comic was not done with the WNBA, shocking the crowd with a joke about how when star player Caitlin Clark retires, she will work at a Waffle House so she can "continue doing what she loves most: fist-fighting black women."
The monologue was another monumental win for free speech, with Gillis bemused that his own content was allowed on a Disney network, no matter how offensive it was.
Gillis expressed his awe when joking about North Carolina coach Bill Belichick's personal relationship. The coach, who is 73 years old, is dating a 24-year-old. Gillis joked that Belichick would read his girlfriend bedtime stories but asked the audience why they would not support such a relationship.
"What happened to this country?" the comedian asked, before telling the crowd that if they had won as many Super Bowls as Belichick, maybe they would not be sitting next to a "fat, ugly dog-wife."
Just as shocked as the attending athletes, Gillis said, "This is Disney. They allowed that."
Like an after-action report by a sergeant, Gillis admitted he still delivered jokes that he should have taken out. This shows just how far American culture has gone in recent years, from woke to Waffle House brawl jokes, with Gillis topping mainstream platforms no matter what he decides to say.

Superman's message to MAGA: ‘You’re not American’ if you don’t love immigrants
After being fired by Disney in 2018 for pedophilia and rape comments spotlighted on social media, “Superman” director James Gunn is no stranger to cancel culture.
However, this time, he’s facing backlash from conservatives after calling Superman “an immigrant that came from other places” in a new interview.
“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety magazine at the "Superman" premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness, and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”
Gunn’s brother, Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the film, also took issue with the backlash.
“We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants, and if you don’t like that, you’re not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way,” his brother said.
BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere is disappointed that yet another Hollywood film is going the woke route.
“Did you follow what happened with 'Snow White'? Did you see that whole situation? Did you not notice that people don’t want this type of messaging inside their movies? And if you’re going to do it, just shut up about it. Let people, you know, lead the horse to water, if you will. You don’t need to take the horse’s head and jam it under the liquid,” Burguiere says on “Stu Does America.”
According to Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of the Federalist, the outlook for the film isn’t bright anyway — and he has an interesting theory as to why they’re already jamming the immigration story down America’s throats.
“The movie is terrible, test audiences hated it, and they’re now running the Lady Ghostbusters marketing op so they can blame bigotry for their movie tanking instead of taking responsibility for making a garbage movie,” Davis said in a post on X.
“I kind of like that idea,” Burguiere comments, adding, “It’s certainly possible.”
