Under the usual guise of "anti-semitism" of course
McCarthyism 2.0 back in full swing with the Hollywood blacklist
also, what the fuck, she's the protagonist of these movies. But lord knows they're dying to have Jenna Ortega take over as the lead now that she's famous
all the other actors have a responsibility to stand in solidarity with her and not work on this film
ortega has also expressed support for palestine, so maybe they'll fire her too and get way more people mad
I didn't know that, but God I fucking hope so
if she is indeed that cool then she will do the right thing and strike production of the film. she's become a massive star with a lot of cultural influence so taking a stand could make a big impact
she's the protagonist of these movies
Let's be honest, it's a horror franchise on its 7th sequel, they don't exactly need to put in effort anymore. They could replace her with anyone and it wouldn't effect ticket sales.
that's true, though in this case the reason for her firing may very well affect sales. the audience of these films is largely made up of young people and horror fans, who are generally not pro-genocide. these movie producers have no idea how out-of-touch they are
maybe it's wishful thinking to hope for some sort of boycott but idk. if Jenna Ortega is out as well then this movie is fucked I think
As some random on twitter pointed out, they are underestimating the power of angry horror gays.
Depends how many of the audience pay attention to/see news about this sort of thing. Definitely can't see a boycott or anything equivalent happening, but we'll see.
Cancel culture strikes again. Surely the freeze peach warriors will come out in her defense. Hold on, I'm getting word that she and her cause unfortunately do not compel them to fight for her due to
I wanted to know what she said in a copy-and-paste form so I used another site.
Mexican-born star Barrera had posted on her Instagram Stories, “I too come from a colonized country. Palestine Will be free. They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.”
According to this article she also wrote:
“Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp… Cornering everyone together, with no where to go, no electricity no water… People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”
It seems like this is the comment that she was fired for since the Spyglass Media Group statement mentions “false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing…” How they determined that anything she said was false is of course not explained.
Well, according to many libs on reddit, it can't be genocide because Palestine's population has increased in the past few decades
Now I'm curious what I'll find if i look up average life expectancy; infant mortality; maternal mortality and; education levels in Gaza and the West Bank.
Thanks.
I really hate the modern media. Their biggest goal is getting the most clicks so they tend to rush things and they make the minimum of effort possible. I'm not kidding when I say the article linked to a Reddit post which was a Instagram screengrab.
Firing her for this is Islamophobic at the very least. She could probably sue on discrimination grounds

"false references to genocide". Oh boy, I desire to do harm.
No but you see bombing hospitals and killing 100+ children a day isn't a genocide because there could have been a Hamas tunnel within 50 miles also human shields antisemitism so not a genocide
"Holocaust distortion"
Did she actually say anything regarding the holocaust or did they slip that in there to make people think she's a holocaust denier?
She reposted an Instagram post that said Israel has done holocaust distortion
This is so fucking absurd. Her comments were benign as fuck. Like fuck when even rich people are getting taken down this fast were fucked.
I don't think we're fucked, I think our enemies are scared
It kinda makes sense they would only want genocide enjoyers for a slasher movie.
i thought they changed the name to "scary movie"
