We talk a lot about Gina Carano’s historic bag fumble but it’s even worse than just giving up Disney money, you were playing a muscular-thicc Star Wars lady with a side-shave and you alienated queer people, that’s like if Doc Martens said they were only for straight men

At least we got Katy O'Brian out of it.

I hadn't quite put together that her getting promoted from background Imperial to main character in an episode was probably due to having to repurpose some discarded Rangers of the New Republic eps to fit into Mando, but it makes sense. O'Brian was legitimately great as a spotlight character.

She gave off serious butch vibes, or maybe futch. I would guess masc bi lesbian with a preference for women.

Now she's an action star doing bullshit films for Daily Wire where she can't even do any action scenes because the dumb fucks don't have a budget to pay for the insurance.

Star is being generous. I made more money bartending last week than her last movie did.

Conservatives complained her new movie was woke garbage because it had a female lead doing action stuff. I think queer nerds might have been the *only* fanbase that would have been receptive to her general deal, but she whiffed it hard in favour of people who she had no chance to win over.

Jfc cannot believe they have “women’s” sizes on some “feminine” styles now. And ONLY “women’s” ( narrow!) sizes. Cowards!

Any chance your news is confirmation that the term “knocking boots” was coined from two people wearing doc martins? I’ve been waiting on that.

And she can’t act for shit! She basically won the lottery with that role and she pissed it all away because she couldn’t stay off her phone when the roid rage was flaring up.

If I were in her shoes I would have kept my mouth shut and enjoyed permanent fandom-supported job security as this generation's Lucy Lawless

It’s so crazy, cause she didn’t even have to become a better person! She could have still had foul opinions! She just needed to not say them in public because she was a face for her powerful employers.

She would have been the lowkey lead in Mando S3 instead of Katee Sackhoff (and it would have been worse)

OR they would have fast tracked her spinoff and she really WOULD be Xena

It's a real shame because being a convention circuit weirdo is pretty much the best place be if you want to share crackpot theories!

Plus the top-billed star of the show she was on, who is rapidly becoming one of the most beloved actors of his generation, has a trans sibling. It really is the most anyone ever traded to do some stupid pronoun jokes on twitter.

The western she did for the Daily Wire bombed because the Daily Wire audience doesn’t want to see strong female leads so she definitely didn’t realize where the fan base was.

It's really unfortunate that she tanked her own career because among other things she was a nice break from the post-Buffy style of elfin dancers doing kung fu. She looked like someone who, if they punched you, it would seriously hurt and you would regret whatever choice led to getting punched.

Haywire (2011) had some incredible fight choreography, good enough to cover her lack of acting experience.
