Geez, She Didn’t Even Get An Oscar Nomination

If you read the headline, you probably thought that this was going to be about the Academy shitting on Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, which they positively did so. I’ll just say that the male hierarchy stuffed shirts of the Academy didn’t get what Barbie was about and never will. The year that Brokeback Mountain lost the Best Picture award to the sorry, manipulative movie Crash Hammering People with the World is racist mallet was when I quit caring about the Oscars at all. 

No, this article is about the racist crappy darling right-wing pretending to be an actress, Gina Carrano, who has been boohooing all around Hollywood about how she was pissed on by Disney for being a bigoted right-wing nitwit and asshole. Now she’s got Elon Muskrat (Why the fuck are some of you using X-crement?) financing every one of her mentholated tears. I guess you need some silly diversions when you have millions in recalls you’re not dealing with. I always have hope one of his rockets will misfire and shoot straight up his ass. Muskrat has been known to dump tons of money crapping on the world as he has done with Twitter.

But Gina has been busy. 

Terror On The Prairie had a “limited theatrical release only in the United Arab Emirates and Russia, where it earned a total of $13,115.” In 2022, Carano appeared in the Breitbart-funded film My Son Hunter. Of note, the right has claimed forever that employers should be completely free to fire anybody for any reason.

Ms. Carano was never more than a secondary character on The Mandalorian. And I’m sorry (no I’m not), but if you’re a bigoted asshole like my dead Trumpanzee sister (dead to me that is) that dwells in the Carolinas, or my dim-witted dead cousin (dead to me, that is) who I think lives close by, you deserved to be kicked to the curb. Take your boohooing over to Trump, and you might get some sympathy. However, I hear he likes to greet females with some unwanted crotch grabbing so be prepared.

The other alternative is to get with James Wood, Scott Baio, Ricky Shroeder, Kevin Sorbo, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Jon Voight, and all the other celebrity has-beens that never were, and have one huge circle jerk crying about how mistreated you imitators of Trump poop are. Have fun. It won’t be long that you’ll be flushed down the toilet of meaningless twats.

I’ll leave this for people of intelligence.

It’s testament to the sheer offensiveness of her social media activity – and, possibly, the cumulative stigma of several different controversies – that Lucasfilm finally saw fit to draw the line. The insensitivity of likening her own situation (being criticised online for spreading potentially harmful disinformation) to the Holocaust was perhaps exacerbated by the US far-right’s relationship with antisemitism and neo-Nazi ideology. Carano’s implicit support of Donald Trump calls to mind the former president’s own history of antisemitism, and his refusal to disalign himself with white supremacist supporters; it seems to me there is little reason to give her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the antisemitic implications of her post.

It seems amusingly misguided for the people crying “cancel culture” to turn their anger onto Disney Plus, as if the streaming service were some kind of ultra-progressive force for left-wing social justice. Star Wars itself has a chequered history when it comes to racism and antisemitic tropes. The character of Watto, the hook-nosed merchant alien from The Phantom Menace, seems almost plucked from a Nazi propaganda playbook. Other aliens (the Neimoidian trade federation; Jar Jar Binks) have also faced accusations of racism and stereotyping.
