When she was competing inside the confines of MMA, Gina Carano was one of the most beloved figures in the sport. However nowadays she is finding herself in the middle of controversy, with a trending hashtag designed to get her to lose her job.
When Carano left the MMA world behind, few thought that she would achieve the type of success that she has found in Hollywood. Nevertheless she has managed to land roles in major Marvel movies, and most recently on the Disney+ Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. At the time it seemed like a great thing for someone that was so beloved by the sport she helped to pioneer.

Fire Gina Carano?
Unfortunately it seems that these days, Gina Carano is not being looked upon so favorably. The last several weeks have seen her posting some controversial and political things on her social media. Take for example, this lengthy tweet voicing concerns over the widely disproven claim that the 2020 Presidential Election was tainted by voter fraud.
“We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today.
Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.
Investigate every state.
Film the counting.
Flush out the fake votes.
Require ID.
Make Voter Fraud end in 2020.
Fix the system. 🇺🇸”

If this did not convince you, there is more. Not only is she regurgitating false ideas of corruption, but she has also been a big proponent for anti-mask causes. She regularly shares remarks about how the coronavirus pandemic is fake and a way to brainwash society, a sentiment that she has fully embraced recently.

Although some (not very bright) people may agree with her, this has caused some serious outrage against Carano. This has led to the hashtag #FireGinaCarano which even started trending on Twitter.

To be clear, cancel culture is not a very productive way of conducting behavior, despite how prominent it has become. However it is still surprising to see this turn of events for Gina Carano, who was once regarded very highly. Then again, when it comes to the MMA world she tends to align herself with similar interests as other fighters, so maybe it is not that surprising after all.

Gina Carano is pretty awesome. I suppose small, weak men must feel pretty emasculated around her. Misogyny comes in many flavors.
I think I'll adopt her as my spirit animal.
Derek, rather than attack a woman who makes you feel inadequate, you should work on strengthening your own body and mind.
Please have a stronger 2021 than 2020.

Fact is a fact and Gina has balls to say it. It also looks like US democratic party is and your government is hijacked by communists. Ex KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov warned USA in a TV show (1984), what would happen to your country and it`s happening now. Demoralisation of nation. (Check out the video from internet) This has happened before in Soviet Union. Bolsevik communists took over 1917 and murdered Tsar and over 60 million people, mostly Christian. Check out who those people were; Soviet goverment leaders and officials. You might be surprised.
In Russia they confiscated all guns, then they came at night and took people one by one. Sent them to Gulag (concentration camps, torture the in Ljubljanka prison or just shot them in the back of the head. You hear about Hitler every day, but have you ever heard about Holdomor and Genrikh Yagoda (Enokh Jehuda) or other murderers? Wonder why? Do some research, while You still can: Who invented communism, who formed first soviet government, who took communism to South Africa and China. Who were those people who tried to make a revolution in Germany 1918-1919? Same peole are doing it to you now.
Globalist communists are behind all: climate change, Covid, LGBT, BLM, white genocide, etc.... Wake up now!

Derek Hall: "...it is extremely irresponsible for her to throw her opinions around."
Why? Like you say, they're just opinions. If she wants to post her thoughts on a given subject, on her own social media account, who are you to say she can't? She hasn't broken any laws. If you're a Democrat, or part of the LGBT++ community, (or whatever), and you don't like her posts, *don't follow her*.
You are just seeking out things to be outraged about. Not only are you part of the problem, but arguably a bigger part of it. If anyone posts something you don't like, you could just mute, block and move on... but you don't. Instead you create an inflated (if not phony) outrage and then share it with other like-minded woke-SJW-snowflake-cancelaholic hypocrites and make total fools outta yourselves, posting outrageous, disturbing and even illegal comments.
But hey, you'll throw anyone under the bus if it means a few more clicks, right? TYHOOYA ffs.

Quote "Although some (not very bright) people may agree with her, this has caused some serious outrage against Carano." More judgment passed by so-called journalists. #disgrace_to_the_profession Derek, start working on your second career! Sincerely, Not the only Dem starting to be embarrassed by US media's unabashed bias.

@Derek Hall, "It's extremely irresponsible for her to THROW HER OPINIONS AROUND". I think your reading comprehension of this little thing called the constitution is not your strong suit. Looks like you extremists forgot about about freedom of expression. Taking this woman's career away over tweets? Her comparison of Germans ratting their Jewish neighbors out to the government to us being cancelled for our political views was dead on and look what happened. You and the Mao lefties should move to China and see how you enjoy their "re-education" camps.

Hey Mark, thanks for commenting!
My sincerest apologies for making you feel like I am a disgrace to my profession. That being said, when I am actually considered a journalist, by myself or anyone, I will be sure to let you know. :)
