The Flash Fans Are Suggesting Danielle Panabaker Should Be Fired For Racism

There are a number of The Flash fans now taking to social media to suggest that Danielle Panabaker should be fired for some racist comments she’s made in the past.

The Flash': Fans say fire Danielle Panabaker next after Hartley Sawyer's removal from show over racist tweets

Many fans cheered this move by the CW and requested them to investigate his co-star Danielle Panabaker as well, who, according to fans, "has been giving Candice Patton hell" for years. Patton plays the role of Iris, Barry's love interest, on the show.

"The CW made a good choice during hartley sawyer , fire danielle panabaker next," a fan wrote. "Hartley sawyer has been fired danielle should be next," another tweeted.

"Damn even Hartley Sawyer's a racist misogynistic weirdo?? good he's gone, but can we fire Danielle next pls," a fan wrote.

"Hartley sawyer getting fired is a brilliant step for the CW but they really need to follow through and keep that energy with danielle panabaker because that witch has caused candice patton hell for YEARS," another wrote.

"It's amazing that hartley sawyer was fired but danielle panabaker needs to be too. the amount of racial hate that she helped light a fire to for YEARS is insane and she needs to be held accountable for it," another tweeted.

According to @softxiris, the “untold truth Of Danielle Panabaker, and others, undermining Candice Patton,” a black woman, is based on Panabaker’s friendly interactions with fans discussing the romantic pairing of her character, Caitlin Snow, with Allen, as well as moments where Panabaker did not explicitly guide the conversation to discuss Patton or her character, Iris West.

Okay this is just ridiculous. People are now wanting any reason to cancel someone and get someone fired.

Danielle may like the chemistry between her character and Grant. But how is that racist against Iris and Candice.

What's next they want to cancel Flash comics because something said in the 60s comics is considered racist.

It does stupid yes and now getting out of hand.

George Floyd's death has definitely started something and not all for the right reasons then.

The inmates are running the asylum.

These "fans" are the reason that Sci-Fi fandom has such a bad rep.   People look at these losers and think that is what we're all like.

Okay, whatever happened behind the scenes should remain where it is? Behind the show, and besides, I think all are GROWN UP people and can talk about it!!

This is getting a little out of hand. Like people are getting blasted and wanting to be fired over such little things.

Yes, I get Geroge Floyd's death is serious and it is, and a big issue with the black community, but the issues are way different with the corrupt police, but to now go into SCI-FI shows and such and want to fire every person for something they said years ago r little things. Cancel Culture is really getting out of hand.

Like, what happened with giving people a second chance, or they can learn from this and grow and we can talk about it. People are so quick to blast and hate, without letting people learn from their mistakes and know where they went wrong. Yes, they can face some consequences, but it seems to point the fingers to the people, and now you are forever your mistake.

Hopefully, the CW won't listen to these losers.

Ok I saw this on twitter and its completely absurd. Some "fan" of Candice put together some silly compilation of Danielle promoting Caityln and Barry as a couple, the comments and portions of interviews they took from Danielle were almost all from 2014, when the show first started and Barry and Iris weren't a couple yet, and apparently that is racist now. There are always some little morons who warp something that is supposed to be good and twist it to this. Looks like the Olicity nutjobs have moved on to The Flash now that Arrow is dead and buried.

[Tim]

This is racist!?

Whatever morons brought this stupid issue up need a reality check.

[Dark Avenger]

Come on. This is really getting to be so stupid, I'm so over some fandoms. All they like to do is a bitch and complain, they clearly have no lives, if they dig this deep into famous people's tweets and such from years ago.

As a longtime Star Trek fan, I know how these feels.   For ages we were depicted as losers who live in our parents basements who would faint if a girl so much as smiled at us.  However, most of us are not like that, never were.  A loud minority of losers made the rest of us look bad.

Same thing is happening here.
