Gina Carano spoke about facing the reaction of the Star Wars community because of her conservative and anti-mask tweets amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The 38-year-old Mandalorian star, who received criticism after criticizing Democrats for adhering to coronavirus security protocols in November, spoke with YouTuber Drunk 3PO about his controversial social media presence late last month.
“People need to be fine to talk,” she said to the host. ‘For having difficult conversations, for having different opinions. What’s wrong with having a different opinion? ‘

Ginny did not talk about how the CDC asked the American people to wear masks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. As of Wednesday, there were 381,000 dead in the United States because of COVID-19.
She continued: ‘Why does everyone have to go straight to demoralization because maybe they just didn’t think like you?
The actress also noted that she is not discouraged by critics and remains vocal to prevent them from controlling Twitter and other social media platforms.
“My whole perspective on this is that I’ve seen people being bullied on Twitter from both sides,” explained the former MMA fighter. ‘I don’t like bullying, and if I don’t attend, which I don’t necessarily want to attend so often, I want to make art, art is my passion, but if I’m not present then other people win. ‘

She continued: ‘Other people win by taking people off the platforms and there needs to be a more balanced platform.’
Insisting that she will not be silenced, the Texas-born artist pointed out that ‘many people don’t mind’ her presence on Twitter and she chooses to focus on her fans.
‘I put out the fire in people. I’m not sure why, ‘she said a few weeks after sharing a sarcastic meme of two people putting masks on their eyes like blindfolds.
