Fans call for the Mandalorian to fire Gina Carano for her controversial tweets

Last week Disney Plus presented a new episode of The mandalorian which, in addition to seeing more Baby Yoda appearances, included the return of Greef Karga and Face dune, two characters that debuted in the first season of the series and are played by Carl Weathers and Gina Carano, respectively.

But, beyond the anecdotes and plot points left by the story, the chapter titled “The Siege” revived a dispute on social networks.

After all, after the premiere of the episode, the hashtag #FireGinaCarano (Fire Gina Carano) reappeared on Twitter.

“#Fireginacarano and replace it with the women we really want to see”, pointed out someone on Twitter.

“It’s really disgusting how John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran were brutally attacked by racist and sexist people, resulting in reduced roles and zero support from Disney, and Gina Carano gets a major role by partnering with those same people. # FireGinaCarano.” expressed another tweeter.

Despite the fact that the hashtag reappeared over the weekend, the criticism against Carano is not new.

Previously, according to Insider reports, Carano wrote “beep / bop / boop” next to her name on Twitter and, as in that social network many people express their favorite pronouns in that way, the actress’s action was crossed out as a mocks the transgender community.

Carano defended himself saying that “Beep / bop / boop has nothing to do with making fun of trans people and (it has 100%) to do with exposing the intimidating mentality of the mob that has taken over the voices of many genuine causes. I want people to know that you can accept hate with a smile. So boop you guys for misunderstanding. “

But, in addition to this controversy, Carano has also generated criticism for his publications on the Black Lives Matter movement, the pandemic and the United States elections, since he not only relativized the importance of the use of masks but also disseminated information about the alleged ” electoral fraud”.

After the controversies over his tweets, on November 14 Carano announced that he planned to transfer his presence on social networks to Parler, a conservative American application.

However, Carano has not completely left Twitter and is now involved in this new controversy that has some users asking for his departure from The mandalorian while there are also those they defend her.

For now, Disney has not ruled on this situation and therefore the company has not taken a public position in favor or against Carano’s statements and his participation in the Star Wars series.
