I am not a fan of Disney, or Star Wars, and had never seen The Mandalorian or heard the name Gina Carano before yesterday. What I learned about Ms. Carano, from reading mainstream media headlines, and sifting through some of the tweets under the Fire Gina Carano hashtag, is that she is a bigot, a psychopath, a transphobe, an anti-Semite, and a danger to herself and others. I learned that she has now been booted from her role on The Mandalorian and fired by Disney after an Instagram post that amounted to the final straw in a whole series of offenses. The Instagram post has been reported by media outlets like USA Today and the Chicago Sun Times as straightforwardly anti-Semitic. We are not told merely that some people claim it’s anti-Semitic, or that it is seen by some as anti-Semitic, but that it just simply is anti-Semitic.
All in all, this Gina Carano person seems like a pretty unsavory character. Or she would seem that way to anyone stupid enough to still take the popular narrative at face value. The rest of us will want to do a bit more research into the topic in order to form our own judgments. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much research to discover that the narrative is completely, and expectedly, bogus.
