All she did was speaking out that usage of dehumanizing language like "vulva people" is very offensive to women, and then she changed her pronouns to "Beep/Bop/Boop" R2D2-style, which was called as transphobic move and mockery of trans people. After what she was fired from staring in Star Wars movies - or cancelled completely.

At same time at the end of 2019 they re-hired very problematic movie director James Gunn, who was accused of rape, sexual harassment multiple times, and was considered as paedo. They fired him because of the accusations and his harassment to women, but after scandal went silent after few months, they re-hired him back.

It's worse. It's offensive to robots who can actually talk such as Vicki, Bender, and the Lost in Space robot. Even the R2D2/C3PO hybrid-knockoff from The Black Hole could talk, and in Roddy McDowall's voice no less. End robophobia!

You jest, but this is the company that literally gave a "droid rights activist" a prominent role in the Solo movie, and canonically made Lando Calrissian into a robo-sexual.

They also gave a "special thanks" credit to a Chinese concentration camp for the remake of Mulan.
