Werner Herzog would like a word

Just because you think women are stupid doesn’t mean you have to project it on everyone else.

Hands down Order 66.

Currency isn’t prestige either, for that matter.

>Yes, because in acting there are action scenes where the simulation of violence occurs.

I can’t pay my rent with trauma, champ.

Nope, hence my skepticism at the claim that victimhood is accompanied with prestige.

It’s not a matter of credibility. It’s their account of events, in their own words, which to me implicitly explain why they wouldn’t go to the police. You don’t have to believe Yi, but that Yi didn’t go to the police isn’t proof the other person wasn’t pressing on their back too hard on purpose. It just means they…

That doesn’t make any sense.

It certainly would’ve made it harder for the studio to dispute the workers comp claim.

Most people aren’t assaulted while performing a scene as cameras are rolling, surrounded by crew members who insist the assailant wasn’t doing it on purpose.

I have never been in the situation that they have been in, but what I will say is that there’s a lot of pressure on actors to stay in character while cameras are rolling (which is also a difference between Yi and Rushdie’s experiences). Some performers take that pressure more seriously than others. Not a judgment,…

Their comment was already un-greyed and I like to push back because other people will see that comment without knowing who it’s from, and most people who will reply instinctively get combative or dismissive. I try to engage trolls on their logic.

Sure we disagree. I just don’t believe you actually would’ve taken the allegation any more seriously if they’d gone to the police.

It sounds like their characters were acting out an assault in the scene. If you want to get all Agatha Christie on it, that would be the best time to assault someone. But regardless if the other actor was injuring them on purpose or not, it’s not weird that they didn’t go to the police.

I have no opinion on whether it was intentional or not. The OP criticized Yi for making allegations on Instagram instead of going to the police, but assuming for a moment that Yi’s perception is correct and the other person was intentionally injuring them, it happened in the middle of a scene, while they were acting.…

Fame, maybe, but what “prestige” do victims have? What’s prestigious about being a victim?

It’s literally on camera. What would the police do if no one who was there believes it was an assault?

They described the allegations pretty explicitly and it’s not something most people would go to the police with:

This is why I have mixed feelings about the generative A.I. discourse. Like, of course the A.I.-generated movie posters for Civil War looked a little shoddy. We have a decade’s worth of shoddily-Photoshopped movie posters proving companies already don’t give a fuck.
