"The Gina Carano treatment" of being a C-List actor losing one position and then immediately cashing out in the Conservative grift circuit. 

It is telling how many asterisks your supposedly swift, decisive and unyielding "cancel culture" has next to it. It is almost like you are making things up on the spot...

If she feels that’s her only recourse then I can only hope she turns out ok going forward. Please refer back to my comparison between Pedro and Gina regarding each one doing a Holocaust comparison. 

Basically, which is my problem with the people decrying cancel culture.

It's essentially saying that everyone is entitled to express their opinion, but when enough people share an opinion that can actually pressure a company to change what they're doing, then that's an evil thing called cancel culture.

It's fine for people to think it's ridiculous for Gina to be fired. There's a lot of idiotic examples of people bitching about it. Honestly, I don't even think she should have been fired. 

But if you think that, just say "I think these people have an idiotic position", that's fine. The problem is when people act as though people are doing something immoral or evil and destroying the fabric of America by voicing their opinion. 

It comes down to, "you can't criticize what Gina is saying... because of free speech"! Which is a baffling bit of mental gymnastics. Freedom of speech means freedom to say someone should shut the fuck up or that someone should be fired.

The broader issue here is that mainstream conservatives feel they can’t even speak their opinions without fear of losing their jobs and reputation. Whatever you choose to believe, it’s not 50/50 treatment, enter the Pedro/Gina Holocaust comparisons. I’m not talking alt-right opinions, but civil discussion and comparison of ideas between mainstream liberal and conservative beliefs.

Silencing speech via in person/online bullying, mob mentality, and threats to have you fired is the exact antithesis of American values. And the irony is completely lost on the very people that believe they are doing the right thing. If one side feels safe to speak their mind while the other is scared to, you got a problem. It actually took me some courage to have this discussion here, despite me being anonymous. Nevermind the real world, that’s the state of the culture imo. 

Comparing one fascist administration to another isn't legitimate?

I repeat. The mass extermination of millions of Jews does. Not. Compare. To how people are treated at the border. That you are trying to legitimize one Holocaust comparison over another is part of the problem. 

Neither one should have been made because neither example compared to the slaughter of a race of people. Political ideology behind each comparison was a factor in how each situation was handled. If you disagree then that’s fine. But imo if making any comparison qualifies as poor taste, then both did wrong. Full stop. 

Detention centers where immigrants are ripped from their families, raped, tortured, sterilized, and left to die being compared to concentration camps doesn't sound unreasonable to me. That's what I found in Pedro's tweets. Where does he reference mass extermination? Is it never appropriate to make comparisons to Nazis unless both groups are committing open genocide?

I'm not going to get into whether Gina or Pedro's tweets were more offensive, but they're drastically different. Not all holocaust references are the same. There's a difference between "putting kids in cages is like what they did in the holocaust" and "criticizing my ideas is like the holocaust". Again, not going to argue which is better or worse, but they're different situations, and would get different responses, especially since Gina has tweeted other things as well such as decrying masks during a pandemic, where too my knowledge, Pedro has not. 

You already have shown that you'll change the subject whenever cornered, so I'm not super inclined to continue.

But feel free to give some examples of conservatives who got cancelled for expressing mainstream conservative opinions. Cause "everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" and "you shouldn't wear masks during a pandemic" shouldn't qualify. 

This is just the kind of bullshit Gina was doing. Expressing bat shit crazy ideas and then saying "oh it has nothing to do with the ideas being crazy or offensive, it's just cause I was conservative and you're all a bunch of Nazis". 

Defending Gina while simultaneously arguing that the left is vilifying people is... bizarre. Why is it ok for Gina to vilify those who disagree with her?

It was a bad comparison.

My point is that she wasn't "cancelled", she lost one position, gained a lot of attention and immediately moved on to another project. I have little doubt that she would have been able to get non grift-centric projects if she wanted. You are really going to have to present better evidence than something that happened a few days ago to prove that it is physically impossible for conservatives to recover from cancelling.
