      Yes. Yes it is.

      Edit: Specifically, she was fired for making the following statements:

      The actor continued to say, “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

        Full disclosure, I’ve followed her career from all the way back in her UFC and American Gladiators days. I don’t think she should have been fired for her words, let alone those words, but I’m curious, who was she calling the nazis in this scenario and what are those political views being so oppressed? Because it feels like there might be more nuance to the story that’s being ignored.

          criticized for social media posts that mocked mask wearing during the pandemic and alleged voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. She also mocked the use of gender pronouns, listing “beep/bop/boop” in her social media bio.

          She was making the “people on the right should have free speech” argument, with the most historically inappropriate analogy possible.

          My dude, this was about vaccines and masking and shit. She was literally over there comparing the attempted extermination of multiple groups of people by literal Nazis to taking a quick shot and wearing a 4-in square of fabric on her face.

          A public figure trivializing the fucking Holocaust is certainly cause for not renewing a contract.

            Yeah, that’s been spot on my same take on the situation. I think she should be allowed to have whatever views she wants, regardless of how strongly I disagree with them. That being said, her censorship is more a result of unchecked capitalism than anything else. Disney’s only care in the situation is if someone said something to pisse off the people that give them money. Nothing more, nothing less.

    🫤👎 Losing weight for my own physical health and lifespan.

    😎👍 Losing weight to gain the confidence to ask a muscle mommy if she’d kindly provide uppies.

        real muscle mommies don’t judge and give uppies when uppies are earned.

        they also don’t compare themselves to persecuted Jews during Nazi rule when asked to take a shot and wear a mask.

    Reminds me of a story from Germany. An entertainer called Stefan Raab was a bit misogynist when he claimed that “woman boxing” was not really a sport. So he publicly challenged a female boxer (Regina Halmich) for a boxing match in 2001. At the time she was world champion in her class. Didn’t go well for him.

    He challenged her again in 2007. And lost again. And in 2024 with the same result.

    My problem with muscular women is the lifestyle. I don’t go to the gym. I don’t want to be with someone who has such a strict routine in their life. I want someone to help me kill a pint of Ben and Jerry’s while watching Schitts Creek, then go at it until 2am.

    Every time I see a video of a jacked woman showing off, and like most of the dudes standing around are frowning… there is always at least one dude. Sometimes two. Who are literally falling so hard with a look of absolute everything across their faces.

    Love at first chin up does exist.
