There are different types of Trivial Pursuit board games. There’s an 80s version, a Friends version. Well, those two I know, but I’m sure there are many other kinds. Maybe it’s a Next Generation or a black history one.

This is from the FAQs on the Scripps website: “Remember, although spelling bees begin with words from the study guide, they often end with words you haven’t studied.”

Just because it is expected that that industry would cause him harm doesn’t make it right or OK that the harm was caused. It doesn’t mean he shouldn’t speak out against the harm. They shouldn’t be requiring *anyone* to wear clothes they aren’t requiring the other members of the cast to wear.

He was young, perceived as a woman (more likely a girl) and relatively new to the industry, so they used his youth and naivety against him to make him feel he had no choice and I’m sure he also was worried about pushing too hard and getting labeled difficult making it hard to find work. It doesn’t make the requirement…

It was “forcing” a woman (as far as the studio knew) to wear a dress and that’s also bad. Page said that himself. It’s not just about the trans part of it. It’s about forcing people to wear clothing they are uncomfortable wearing, especially since women usually take the brunt of that. Women are expected to be…

Then why didn’t they ask Page to dress to reflect his character? His character would not have worn that dress or those shoes.

Yep, Cera’s not even wearing a suit. And I can tell how uncomfortable Page is just by looking at his left foot. He hardly ever--if ever--wore shoes like that before. And I get that as a cis woman who hasn’t been able to wear even a kitten heel since I broke my foot. Much less feel comfortable in any dress except maybe…

I’m a cis woman and I would find being forced to wear a dress mildly traumatic. It takes away my agency. It’s one thing to have a dress code, but if the men can wear suits/slacks/etc. then the women should be allowed to, also. Being forced to dress according to what society deems appropriate for your gender--whether…

But, that’s literally what acting is (and he chose to do it, no one forced him.) Every single actor plays a role that is not who they really are. Straight people play gay people, cis people play trans people, men play women (or, in the case of Victor/Victoria, a woman plays a man playing a woman,) recovering addicts…

It seems your original point was that if a person wants to be a successful actor they should just suck it up and do what the studios say no matter how much it pains them. Which makes this particular comment of yours extremely awful.

And this would actually be a good point if he were complaining about having to wear a dress while playing a woman in a movie rather than choosing what he wants to wear to a work function. If I went to a work function that was formal, I could wear a tux if I wanted to and not get fired or blacklisted because of it. Why…

The article states that the character was androgynous. That’s the part that kicked this whole comment thread off.

This has always been so weird to me when it comes to celebrities. Outside of some controversial thing where you are publicly supporting a friend, why post about how much you support and sympathize with someone’s lost on your own media? I mean, if someone I know loses a loved one, I’m going to find a way to contact…

Yeah, her interactions with Eddie totally fly in the face of everything this article is saying the trope does, so the writer should be praising this use of the cheerleader, not hating on it.

Which just proves he is not as good a businessman as people say because it costs a lot of money and time to train a new person, so you ultimately save money by keeping people. No matter how smart they are or how much experience they have in the job you are hiring them to do, they still have to be brought up to speed…

He’s like my last boss--he thinks that “working hard” is making your life mostly about work. My last boss is a workaholic and part of the reason I’m no longer there is because she wanted me to work 12 hours a day and on weekends (while not getting OT even though I was an hourly worker.) People like them think that if…

I couldn’t get it to work, either and I wondered if it was astigmatism related.

Because a stock photo of a white guy would have been too hard to use? There’s no way the teacher didn’t know how using any black person in that context, much less Obama, would look and how easy it would be to keep it from looking that way.

Tell me you’re a white straight cis male without telling me you’re a white straight cis male.

I mean, sometimes they come to your door just because something happened in your neighborhood and they want to know if you saw or heard anything. Or, someone calls on you for something you didn’t do and they need to sort that out. Or, as in my case, they got a call about a barking dog and they went to your next door…
