They keep popping up on my FB and Twitter feed.

Mrs. Mush and I were having the conversation last night that we feel less and less like consuming any TV/movies, not because of politics, but because they so many of the people that make it are trash people.  We already don't watch much, but it seems like every time you turn around there's another Rapist, Pedo, or Woman Beaterdemocrat being unmasked that "everyone" knew about for 20 years, but they made good movies so it was ignored.

Makes you wonder about a certain tv producer for children's shows who has been endlessly memed and mocked by /pol/.

It would not surprise me to learn that there were some people that were hoping for that to show the Toxic Fanbase what happens if you like the wrong kind of Star Wars.

It will also not surprise me to find out that (if that is true) in a month or two they call Gina up and offer her a "James Gunn" rather than abort their shared TV show universe this early.

From what I have read about her since this started, I can't see her accepting any offer from Disney, especially since it would likely come with "apology" caveats (meaning she, not Disney, would have to do an apology sideshow). I mean, it's Hollywood, so I may be wrong, but for someone in Hollywood, she seems to be a straight shooter.

I can see her telling them off as well.

For one thing, she's not really from "Hollywood".  MMA fighters tend to be less likely to take being *expletive deleted*it than struggling actors.  I guess it would depend on what they offered her and how much she liked Star Wars.

On the flip side, after all this, if she ever does any Star Wars again at all, it's clearly a win for her.  They dumped her, didn't tell her and let her find out on social media, then came crawling back.  No way to spin that, although I'm sure Lucasfilm would try.

I think bringing her back would mean there was a change in leadership at Lucas film which I don't expect to happen.

Great interview.

Gina is awesome.

Death to Mickey Mouse.

I can't believe Disney demanded she do a Zoom where it was her vs 40 Disney lqdtbg employees that wanted her fired. That's supposed to be inclusive and unifying?

How very literally communist of them.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session
Quote
Struggle sessions were a form of public humiliation and torture used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at various times in the Mao era, particularly during the years immediately before and after the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and during the Cultural Revolution. The aim of struggle sessions was to shape public opinion, as well as to humiliate, persecute, or execute political rivals and those deemed class enemies.[1]

In general, the victim of a struggle session was forced to admit various crimes before a crowd of people who would verbally and physically abuse the victim until they confessed. Struggle sessions were often held at the workplace of the accused, but they were sometimes conducted in sports stadiums where large crowds would gather if the target was well-known.[1]

Good grief! Aside from the fact that Shapiro talks like a 45 RPM record being played at 78 RPM, I never realized before just how nasal and irritating his voice is. I can't listen to it -- I had to shut the video down at the first commercial break.

Yeah. I've gotten used to it, so it don't really notice it anymore. It's amazing how some people with not-so-pleasant voices can thrive in that business.

Yeah, he's a smart guy, but he's one of those scholarly fellows that is better read than listened to.  :laugh:

People can't help how they sound, but you definitely have to get used to that voice.

Disney apparently has a dedicated lgbtq department, so I would guess the inquisition board would have been made up of the more militant employees that interact with that department.
