Preach. And the Catholic Church doesn’t get to claim the moral high ground from anyone anyway. I don’t care what you believe; anyone still a member of that church should be ashamed of themselves.

Lesbian or not, it’s clear the author of the review is using her white womanhood to try and become the victim when messaged by a black actress she wrote a review on.
Yeah, I reread that bit trying to figure out what I was missing that makes sense of that. It doesn’t matter how much ‘social power’ someone has if they DM you, because it’s not public unless you make it so. If Billie Eilish slid into my DMs to call me an asshole, I’d be alarmed and confused, but it wouldn’t have the…
“I’m posting it because I don’t want this person who has more social power than me to think that it’s fucking okay to do something like this.”
So the reviewer makes a reductive comment about how the movie is just an advertisement for cleavage, a star from that movie sends a private message joking that if the reviewer had paid more attention to the film than the cleavage, maybe she would have gotten more out of it, and somehow the reviewer is a victim?
Yes, everyone is just envious Rowling’s success. There’s no possible way they could find fault with her opinions. I mean It’s not as if she’s used her massive platform to spread odious, transphobic bile like the “trans women are just men who wear dresses so they can sneak into bathrooms and rape children” canard.
This is a tremendously bad take, sorry.
lol what? she literally wrote an entire op-ed piece comparing trans people to rapists whose main goal is to access bathrooms. she just recently opposed legislation that would make gender affirming care easier to access, which would significantly decrease suicide in trans and queer people. she truly believes it’s up to…
Yea, I mean I don't have a job where I would ever be expected to touch my co-workers, but making inappropriate jokes or hugging people without them being ok with it or calling people baby or honey is definitely something that would get warnings from my boss and eventually firing. I wouldn't expect any kind of hearing…
“Cancel” can be an appropriate label when you get mob mentality reactions over relatively trivial events, or consequences out of proportion. Fair to say this is not one of those situations.
So they replaced him with that young hot Bruce Greenwood, lol...this isn’t some conspiracy, they asked the guy to do something, he didn’t want to, he was fired. Not because an actress who signed on to act in a movie about an elderly recluse thought the elderly recluse would be played by Zac Efron...
Let’s get real. He was fired not for inappropriate behavior. The REAL reason was his age.
Exactly! If this had happened on the set of his ‘Dracula’ back in the 70s, it would be known as ‘Fired for Fucking Up the Job, Frank!’
There’s a few stupid responses in these comments but this has to be the stupidest of them all.
Spot on. His response is effectively, “I can confirm I did everything they said I did.”
So they definitely didn’t fire him for touching a woman intimately against her will as he confessed out loud and voluntarily in his interview? We’re sure about that?
Huh, the premise of your argument is that the casting department didn’t know Frank Langella was an octogenarian...
That’s a LOT of speculation that you PULLED out of THIN AIR.
It was good of him to confirm that he was fired for being creepy and inappropriate, not to mention ignoring specific instructions from the higher ups. You weren’t cancelled, Frank, you were fired for not doing your job properly. It’s “consequence culture.”
