That doesn't strike you as dangerously irresponsible?

I mean trends are a bizarre thing on Twitter. For instance #CancelDisneyPlus was the #1 trend for most of Wednesday and Thursday. Bad news for Disney, right? Well no, because most of the people using the hashtag were using it to mock conservatives for being pro-cancel culture (amongst other things). Just like whenever you see things like #WhitePride or #StraightPride trending, expect a bunch of racists, and end up with nothing but KPop TikToks because they've hijacked
In general her opinions were just terrible. Surely they sat her down and told her to tone it down and it's all good, but she couldn't do that. I mean she admits Pedro Pascal talked to her about the pronouns thing. Apparently Jon Favreau already went to bat for her with the studio. She knew that she was jeopardizing her career prospects doing what she was doing, and chose to keep doing it. Kinda hard to feel sorry for her.
But when it comes to people in positions to earn millions of dollars, I really have no sympathy unless it's genuinely unfair, and this ain't that. They tell you all the time that even when you aren't working you are representing the company. She became a liability and got canned. Capitalism at it's finest ironically enough.
