As a former professional fighter with a record of 12-1-1 in Muay Thai and 7-1 in MMA, very few people would be brave enough to criticize Gina Carano to her face, but fans of The Mandalorian have once again called for the actress to be fired from the hit Disney Plus show over her social media activity. Obviously, people are entitled to post whatever they like regardless of how it upsets or offends others, but this is the second time in a week that the 38 year-old has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons.
There were already tongue in cheek calls for Cara Dune to be replaced by the show’s latest cult favorite, but with filming having wrapped on the current run, it would be too late at this point to turn the Frog Lady into the female lead even if Disney wanted to. Of course, Carano hasn’t shown up yet in the latest batch of episodes, but based on the reactions to her recent Twitter posts, a lot of people would be happy if it stayed that way, and you can check out just some of the comments going around social media below.
I wanna start this to clarify that this is not about one’s skills about acting. This is not because of ”different political views”. This is about this person being downright against human rights. #FireGinaCarano pic.twitter.com/nhRCcBq8R2

They fired James Gunn for jokes but she still had a job after all the crap on her timeline? Asking people to join Parler which is just a bunch of Right wing racists on there #FireGinaCarano @Disney https://t.co/ekQ91bt9ZW

It’s really disgusting how John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran were viciously attacked by racist and sexist people, resulting in reduced roles and zero support from Disney, and Gina Carano gets a major role while associating herself with those very same people. #FireGinaCarano

I'd like to see #FireGinaCarano become a thing, not just because she is cleary a MAGA monster, but also because she is a terrible actress

It’s always important to separate the artist from the art, but Mandalorian fans are finding that a lot more difficult than usual when Carano keeps posting this type of stuff on her Twitter feed. At this point, it seems like she’s almost going out of her way to troll people, having caused an online firestorm several times in the past already.
Unfortunately for the anti-Gina Carano mob, though, disagreeing with someone’s personal and political views isn’t grounds to have them fired from their job, but the execs at Disney will no doubt still be keenly aware that a large section of The Mandalorian‘s core audience have now turned against her.
