media_junkie Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Ok this post is not only in regards to this whole Gina Carano situation, but well anyone really. Is it that hard for people to just not post on social media? Time and time again we see how it comes back to haunt them. I understand she/he/they are exercising their right of free speech, but free speech does not live in a bubble. There are always consequences, good or bad. I don't have a facebook page, or follow twitter, instagram, tik tok, or whatever the new hotness is. My online posting presence is limited to this board and another one about "Old School" Dungeons and Dragons (1ed/2ed). I have never understood the need for people to have a million likes or a thousand "friends". bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want other people to conform to their beliefs and/or opinions. This particular circumstance is relatively bogus, from what I gather. The 'news' site I read this from led me to believe that she said something truly awful. From what I've read, I'm confused as to how or why she's in trouble.

All she said was that, "Nazis didn't beat the Jews in the streets, it was their neighbors that did it. " Then she had a historical quote, or something. This outcry seems like a real reach, to me. You nailed it RE: the bold. Some think that everything is "fair" when it's tilting their way. When she had a blowup last year for mocking transgender people with her Twitter profile joke about her gender ('Boop/Bop/Beep' in place of 'He/Him') even Pedro Pascal tried to explain it so she could avoid any further issues. So there was a heightened sensitivity to her posts since this happened not that long ago (September 2020). Joking about anything with the Jews during WW II is a topic better to strongly shy away from. Let alone how she was referencing it as a political topic (which I will leave at that to avoid moderator sensitivity).

Rip Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'm saddened to see this IF it is indeed final and unrepairable. In this day and age you have to be careful in social media as everyone is so hyper polarized and sensitive. When I worked for the company I would often be extra careful when posting on certain topics. It's just the state of the world. Most certainly Gina liked to poke the bear.

Supposedly it was her Beep Boop Bop comment that set the wheels in motion with Disney that if she continued to make mention of anything else that could be construed as disparaging, she would face consequences.

Administrator CCGmod2 Posted February 17, 2021 Administrator Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi all, reminder that per the CGC Chat Boards rules, this is not a place for "Inappropriate references (analogies, etc.) to significantly emotional topics such as Nazis", and political posting is also against the rules. It's understandable to discuss how an actor's departure will affect the show, but that isn't where the recent discussion in this thread has gone. Grogu wants you to talk about some of the many other things in the Mandalorian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote A comic book, also called comic magazine or (in the United Kingdom and Ireland) simply comic, is a publication that consists of comics art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes.

That’s not a sequential juxtaposition of panels, those are 1-page illustrations with the text beneath. If that qualifies as a comic, then every children’s picture story book counts as a comic book. I know this show is smoking hot and everyone is chomping at the bit for a direct comic spin-off they can latch on to, but I’m pretty sure those books aren’t it, and it would be an uphill battle to convince the comic collecting community otherwise. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm not at all trying to insinuate that these kids books are valuable "collectibles" (other than for them being Mando/Grogu related material, which is the only reason I got them). It just gave pause to consider what defines a "comic book". The sequential juxtaposition of "panels" being inherent in the definition of "comics" would have to exclude things like "Far Side" and "Grin & Bear It" style one-panel "comics" that have been around for decades in the newspapers' "comics" sections. Sure, those are not comic books, but are they not "comics" because they're only one-panel? I wonder if there have ever been comicbook issues produced that were single-panel per page? Like the Silver Surfer "Judgement Day" graphic novel. If that were released in comicbook format (like a 4-issue mini-series), would those not be comicbooks? Anyone know of a comicbook issue that had only full-page single panel pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it’s kind of like that old saying about pornography: you know it when you see it. There’s the dictionary definition of what constitutes a comic book, but if you took those Mandalorian books and showed them to 20 average, random people on the street and asked ‘are these comic books?’ I suspect most if not all would say “no”. To answer your last question: there is that issue of DC Special Series, the Batman Spectacular, that has a prose story with single Marshall Rogers art panels. Oversteet acknowledges that it’s a text story, but part of a book that overall has the traditional sequential panel stories. jcjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
