She’s not a villain. If Disney needs to change the terms of the contract because of the circumstances, they can approach Johansson’s camp and seek to make changes to the contract that she can live with.  Or they can honor the contract they signed.  But they breached the contract, plain and simple, and apparently did…

Yeah, I’m thrown off by how everyone seems to be saying , “GREAT! This is fantastic news!” It is not fantastic news. It sucks for her teammates, it sucks for the people who could have gone in her place, and quitting mid-competition is really not something to celebrate. We can be compassionate about the decision, but…

Step 1: Issue absurdly confusing edicts about what you want to be called.

No! It’s on us to read people’s minds (or deep dive their Instas) to first know what pronouns they prefer, and also to know which are to be used in different contexts.

I’m sorry that the condemnation of death threats, which is in this article, wasn’t enough for you,

Death threats are certainly alarming regardless of how they materialize,

“Online harassment and death threats are terrible, unless it’s happening to someone I don’t like. In that case it’s NBD.”

“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.” - H.L. Mencken

There’s two places for anger to go here: Bill Cosby, obviously, because of his sexual assault, and the DA who lied and said he wasn’t going to bring a suit against him. This is not the PA Supreme Court’s fault. No matter how obviously guilty someone is, you can’t set a precedent that it’s ok to revoke someone’s fifth…

It’s also funny to use the "gross straight guy" behavior label on Da Brat in this situation when Wendy is doing the whole "any benign human interaction is interpreted as sexual interest" thing.

Conservatives say global warming is fake because Al Gore says it is real.

The idea that Covid-19 either originated from the WVI or as a result of sample collection without proper PPE seems credible. Dismissing it outright feels naive at best, and fuels distrust of media and government.

And they did. It’s THEIR experience living In the Heights. LMM is speaking to the people that look like him. That’s fair. If I’m making a movie about my experience living in the Bay Area, and it’s all about the people I grew up with and hung out with, and they just so happened to be people who like me, that’s my…

With all do respect to Felice, no one owes her, her own personal representation. And that goes for EVERYONE. Me, you, them, they, everyone.

I completely agree with you. I also find it odd that the frame here appears to be that Lin Manuel Miranda must be taken to task. If you were going to assemble a list of the Top 5 creators working today who have been instrumental in moving the ball substantially down the field with regards to advancing BIPOC…

I knew it wouldn’t be long before this movie got criticized for not being all things to all people. I’m glad it happened before it was even released.

She shouldn’t have said boo, because she had nothing for which to apologize.

If instead of saying “ neighbors,” Gadot had said “Palestinians,” what other objections would you have had to her statement?

I stated author in a previous comment and not your name. Does that mean I don’t acknowledge that your name is Ashley? Your logic is beyond flawed.

Sorry to be pedantic, but “Palestine” has never been a sovereign state. It was the British Mandate of Palestine before it was Israel. Prior to that it belonged to the Ottoman Empire.  Also her suggesting that her “neighbors” deserving to live in a free and safe state is pretty obvious what she’s referring to.  So not…
