Political responsibility

In her civil action against Disney/Lucasfilm, Gina Carano cited Pascal's political posts to argue that she had been treated differently from male colleagues expressing opposing views. His name and posts thus became part of the media and evidential debate about the consistency of internal disciplinary measures.

In 2018, Pascal posted a montage under the hashtag #ThisIsAmerica juxtaposing an image of Nazi Germany with an image presented in the debate as depicting child detention in the United States. When the post resurfaced in 2021, several media outlets pointed out that the modern photograph actually showed Palestinian children at a soup kitchen in Hebron in 2010.

Pascal posted and then deleted a montage presenting the Confederate flag, Nazi flag and a MAGA cap in sequence as symbols of 'losers' from 1865, 1945 and 2020. The post was widely recirculated after Gina Carano's dismissal and used to accuse Lucasfilm of applying a double standard.

The day after Kyle Rittenhouse's acquittal, Pascal posted a photograph of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, stating that they had been 'murdered' in August 2020. The wording prompted strong criticism from those who considered that it contradicted the judicial outcome based on self-defence.
