Gina Carano suing Disney, courtesy of Elon Musk

[CyberCubed]

Gina Carano sucks and her character in Mandalorian sucked. I don't care in the slightest. Disney never promised her anything, and actors get dropped from shows/movies all the time so I have no idea why this is even a thing.

Well... it's not a thing because fans desperately want her in the Mandalorian.

But.... it is a thing because the way she was ousted reeks of social witch-hunting and inequity by way of political opinion. So in that regard it's very relevant.

It's a thing because it's misdirection.

Tesla recently announced they're recalling practically every car they've sold in the USA. A massive ding to the company's reputation.

But what are we talking about? Gina Carano.

Elon knows what he's doing. Look at the "outrage" over here, so you miss the "failure" over there.

To be honest, I’d not seen anything about that Tesla point until you mentioned it.

"I'm super upset about Elon helping Gina Carano!"

"I'm super in tune with what Tesla is doing on the day to day!"

These aren't the same people. Maybe there's a bit of overlap. But mostly... rotflol? Yes?

And that can’t be done remotely?

[Andrew NDB]

Settled.

Good for her.

[Stu_Padasso]

I can’t say for sure, but I suspect that Disney didn’t want certain things exposed through discovery in the trial.

[Andrew NDB]

One of the things her suit was demanding is that Disney re-cast her into Mandalorian and/or Rangers of the New Republic. Either that's happening or they threw so much money at her she withdrew that demand.

She was my crush as a teen, now she can literally crush me by sitting on me. No amount of anti-fatshaming propaganda can save her and body positivity, there's limits to that.

All the apologists can seethe all they want, but I can't take seriously a fat woman in an action series. Deep down fatties know what they are and how society feels about them.

Damn, I might've crossed the line there. not that I said anything false. Just cold hard facts.

[Andrew NDB]

We've been over this. There is "soft" muscled and there is RIPPED muscled. She's soft muscled. Because she doesn't really have anything to train for in that way. Compare Stallone in Rambo 4 to Rambo 3. He has WAY more muscle in Rambo 4, he's like a monster, but he doesn't have that "cut" like he did in Rambo 3 with the much more pronounced muscles.

Not that I'd presume you'd know much about.... y'know... basic fitness. But I'll keep things nice.

If she can crush you by sitting on you, that’s because you’re a twink. She’s a real woman and fine as hell.

The only reprehensible thing here is Elon’s involvement in the lawsuit lol

I tried to figure out from around when that fit photo was from. Saw a site that posted it and others in July 2009, so the photos are 16 years old or more??

What happened? Middle age. Believe it or not, age happens to all people. The woman is over 40 now, things tend to change at 40+. Guys clearly can be affected by it too, given the increase rate of "dad bods" in the 40+ age group, but women also have bigger shifting hormonal stuff that is a primary factor that can put on weight, and some more than others given genetics, even when you aren't actually doing anything differently and did not start "letting yourself go." Add in it's when health issues can also start popping up for people, some of which could impact weight.

Not that someone 40+ can't keep working out and try to remain fit, but life changes, sometimes there isn't time for all that anymore or it's no longer a priority, and women will typically lose muscle tone faster if they step away from it.

Sorry to say she wasn't going to remain a hot young adult forever. No one can. And anyone not past 40 yet... yeah, just you wait, it's coming. lol

I personally would be too embarrassed to accept help from him. But I don’t expect I’ll ever be embroiled in some culture war nonsense scandal lol

I had a chance to meet her last year at a comic convention. Unfortunately with the lines as long as they were, there's only so many people that you can meet in one day. Choices were made. I also would've liked to have had more time to meet Rob Paulsen that day as well.

Its hard to wrap my head around the voice actor thing. With actual actors, or crew, or anything like that, you could ask them lots of stuff... like, "What was it like shooting this episode/movie?" or "How did you like working with so-and-so on set?" or any one of a million things. A voice actor? What are you going to say? "I like your voice! And I like it when you do the thing with your voice!"

I don't get it.
