The actor was fired from the Disney+ show after sharing a social media post that compared US Republicans to Jewish people in Nazi Germany
System Of A Down’s John Dolmayan has spoken out in defence of The Mandalorian star Gina Carano after she was fired for sharing offensive and controversial social media posts.
The actor was sacked from the Disney+ show after she shared a post that compared US Republicans to Jewish people in Nazi Germany.
After Carano was fired, Dolmayan weighed in on the situation on his Instagram page. Posting a photo of the actor, he captioned the post: “It takes a lot of guts to put your career on the line for your convictions.
“History will honor people like @ginajcarano and condemn the cowards who instituted woke justice against her.”
In a statement, Lucasfilm said Carano – who played Cara Dune in The Mandalorian – had been fired because “her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable”.
Fans of the show previously called for her to be dropped from the programme after she shared anti-masking tweets, unfounded claims of voter fraud and other posts that were criticised as transphobic.
She previously addressed the backlash in an interview on the Drunk 3PO YouTube channel, saying she “brings the fire out in people”. “I’m going to stick around and if my presence bothers you, OK, but also a lot of people are not bothered by my Twitter presence or my social media presence. So I focus more on those people,” she said.
Dolmayan, meanwhile, has also been criticised for his views and social media posts, with the drummer having criticised the Black Lives Matter movement and shown his support for Donald Trump in the past.
He recently claimed that people won’t work with him now because of his right-wing views. Speaking about his comic book series Ascensia, Dolmayan said during a recent podcast appearance: “Let’s just say that Ascencia could easily be made into a TV show or movie and I had an agency working on that with me. And that agency [had] to take a step back.”
I’m going to disagree with the article just a bit.
She was fired for pointing out the similarities and how the Jews were treated by the Nazis and how the Republicans are being treated by the Democrats.
Trump and the conservative movement have very strong Armenian support here in Southern California.
I think that's an assumption that's being made. She didn't actually mentions Republicans, did she?
What she said was garbled and inartful.
Carano sound like a Northern Italian name. Is she Armenian?
More like “woke” witch hunt.
Shouldn't that be 'woke INJUSTICE'?
She spoke (wrote) only the truth. And absolutely nothing 'anti-Semitic' about it, unless you think that saying something bad about Nazi collaborators like Soros is 'anti-Semitic'.
Not sure of her heritage.
She didn’t mention NAZIs either, and we all still know what and whom she’s referring to.
Disagree with your opinions regarding garbled and unartful.
It doesn’t matter what her heritage is.
Not sure. Above is her dad. He played for the Dallas Cowboys.
Garbled and unartful is what somebody says when somebody feels like they have to say something.
“...after she was fired for sharing offensive and controversial social media posts.”
Offensive? No.
Controversial? Only to immature little snowflakes. In other words...Democrats.
Interesting.
This is a 30 minute show that airs 8 episodes a year. I only ever heard of it because idiots became upset by an alien infant eating eggs. They called it genocide. She’s lucky to be out of that pit of stupid.
Gina Carano: MMA Champion
You know that the cancel culture is getting out of hand when major lefty’s like System of a down is speaking out.
I am going to go ahead and disagree with you.
No, it was not.
What she said was that before government do any sort of massacre they first must turn you into a non-person. Once the average citizen feels free to abuse these so labeled non-persons with impunity then the government can round them up and cart them off to be murdered and there will be no outcry from the public because they have already given their permission and blessing.
It makes people uncomfortable because it removes the pious veil the public used to cover up their nakedness afterward. Why we did not know! It was the government, the military, the church, the rulers, the courts but not us! No, never us.
Yeah, right. Pull the other one. It might have bells on it.
You knew and approved.
Officers of the Disney Plus Corps make sure this never happens with another of their actors.
