The new punishment imposed on the transgender actor Karla Sofía Gascón

Karla Sofía Gascón has been the victim of a cancellation campaign after having been a woke icon

The trans actor, currently known by the female name Karla Sofía Gascón, went from being an icon of the woke ideology internationally to becoming a villain. After a harsh cancellation campaign following her Oscar nomination, another blow reaches her.

The publishing house Dos Bigotes has chosen not to publish the new edition of Karsia, the autobiographical novel by Karla Sofía Gascón, after old social media messages caused controversy. The work, which debuted in 2018 under the pseudonym Carlos Gascón at Umbriel publishing house, was scheduled for a relaunch on March 17. But the final decision was to abandon the project.

In a statement, Dos Bigotes explained that the decision was communicated to the actress last Monday, February 3. The publishing house, recognized for its clearly woke line, promoting LGTBI and feminist content, stated in an email that it has always defended the values of equality, inclusion, and diversity. And that for this reason, they must act in accordance with their principles.

The actress's career, which was recently boosted by the success of Emilia Pérez in Cannes and a historic Oscar nomination, faces a new setback. Old messages spread on social media, labeled by the left as racist and sexist, have resurfaced, severely affecting her public image.

The controversy has had immediate repercussions, including Gascón's exclusion from the promotional campaign for Emilia Pérez in the United States, on the eve of the Oscar ceremony. The impact of the scandal has transcended the entertainment field.

Ernest Urtasun, Minister of Culture, who a few days ago had praised the actress as an "example of the talent and dedication of Spanish actresses." Pedro Sánchez's minister expressed his discontent, stating that the comments don't represent Spanish society.

The actress Karla Sofía Gascón banned from Netflix due to her controversial tweets

Karla Sofía Gascón's viral tweets take a toll on her. Let's remember that the woman is on everyone's lips after her comments on social media.

In them, she harshly criticized Islam and the community. "Islam is becoming a focus of infection for humanity that must be urgently cured." This is how one of the tweets published by the actress reads.

When these messages that the woman promulgated became known, she decided to speak about it. More specifically, she wanted to wash her hands of it and reiterated that all those accusations she was receiving were causing her a lot of "pain."

However, despite this, Netflix has made a decision. The platform has opted to leave the Madrid actress out of the promotion of the film during the awards season in Los Angeles.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has decided not to cover travel expenses for the star of Jacques Audiard's narcomusical. Before the scandal, she was one of the main favorites, along with Demi Moore, to win the Oscar for Best Actress.

As a result, the Spanish actress will not attend the AFI (American Film Institute) Awards luncheon to be held this Thursday. Nor the Critics Choice Awards ceremony this Friday in Santa Monica, where Gascón was nominated for Best Actress.

In addition to this, it was planned that the presenter would be the host of the Directors Guild Awards and the Producers Guild Awards. However, she has also been banned from performing this work due to the platform's decision.

Last Sunday, the Spanish actress was going to receive one of the nine Virtuoso awards at the Santa Barbara festival. However, her colleague Selena Gomez will attend alone to collect the award on her behalf.
