      "capitalism is bad, so it's bad when corporations fire fascists" is not a smart take.

      How about capitalism is bad, so it's bad to lobby/empower corporations to fire people for offenses that were previously not fireable? Especially if that impulse to call the manager substitutes for a policy agenda that would better address root causes in the area of offense.

      We live in an at-will employment economy, there's no such thing as "offenses that were not previously fireable"

      There may be some truth there strictly legally, but I mean in the sense of contemporary cancel cultures. The threhold and stakes for causing offense have changed, and those offended now increasingly respond by involving (and empowering) employers.

      the actual cultural standard for what's "fireable" has a lot more to do with class than wishy-washy social mores. if she were a line cook or an agricultural worker, she'd be gone the second she said a word like "union" or "discrimination" or "minimum wage hike" or "i'm trans."

      she also has, like, a giant, rather powerful union that represents her rights, and I am still waiting for any of these hot takes to mention them or their opinion about this process in any way

      SAG-AFTRA wouldn't have any leg to stand on in this case if they tried because there is no contract that was violated Her contract was up, and they simply chose not to offer her a new contract for new work

      She wasn't fired, she was just not rehired And the fact that acting, even at the highest levels of the business, is by its nature gig work in which you're constantly "job-hopping" is a serious labor rights issue for actors, though not one easily fixed

          I think most of us would agree it would be absurd for SAG-AFTRA to start some kind of campaign saying "Shows can't ever be canceled, characters can't ever be written out of shows, every sitcom should last long enough to put the whole cast's kids through college"

          But it's particularly absurd to indulge in special pleading for cases like this All the chuds suddenly deciding Cara Dune was an irreplaceable feature of the Mandalorian universe once her actress got openly racist enough to get canceled by the SJWs
