So putting it all on the shoulders of this one company, where this “wealthy” cast is working multiple jobs, is a bit disingenuous.

Well first off I would say people need to stop knee-jerking all criticism as instant vilification. Second we need to understand that not all criticism is going to necessarily include solutions and definitely not convenient “plan-of-action” solutions. You can be critical of something without having to know the best way…

The “solution” is the same as it ever was: Listen to the criticism of marginalized people and try to do better next time.

I guess the question is why are there so few plus sized Oscar winners or celebrities lol? I feel ya’ll are just arguing some really fatphobic views and you don’t even realize. Dismiss it as what? That you’re entitled to wear a suit to look plus sized when it’s not even important to the role? Or that an actual plus…

No one is owed a role in a movie. The implication of this is that if you had to choose between Ocar-winner Renee Zellwegger and a terrible plus-sized actor to play this role, then the latter is the right choice. And that’s absurd.

I had to look up all the authors you mentioned because I don’t remember hearing about any of them being banned and, sure enough, this is just a sad case of “whataboutism”.

My response to the Boba fanboys is always “Oh, you mean the scrub who instantly got his gun cut in half, and then lost to a blind guy in literally one second?”

no, it’s about misogyny, but the reviewer was just putting out a question around intersectionality. which is fair, but I also don’t think audiences are that obtuse that they don’t see how white men misogyny trickles down into everyone else internalizing those same exploitive beliefs.

And next article you’ll bitch that they aren’t trained to write at all.

in a show about power structures and how an entire country violated Anderson as a woman then I think casting comes with some thought with changes like an Asian woman exploiting a white woman.

Exhibit A regarding the necessity right here.

Says the person who I’ve noticed never puts a full stop at the end of their sentences. ;)

Who actively encouraged you to go into every post and whine in defense of the sexless dimwits who still think it’s the 2000's? Is it just your terribly dated brain? The thing that prevents you from reading the room and gives you an endless victim complex?

You’re not as clever as you think you are. None of you dweebs are. 

you proved their point

Literally every single person who reads your comment, without exception, thinks *you’re* the “insufferable asshole”.

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Babylon 5's century-spanning Season 4 finale may have been the one that did it first, and J. Michael Straczynski got quite publicly irritated at all the show’s fans acting like he was saying all the heroes’ struggles were meaningless just because they didn’t stop all war and suffering forever and ever.

Because I am a giant nerd, just a minor nitpick on the Discovery entry. Stamets isn’t Chief Engineer of Discovery. I don’t believe that person has ever officially been named...maybe Jett Reno? She was Chief Engineer of the ship they found her on in season two. Anyway, Stamets is a science officer and expert on the…

I mean, they didn’t really bury their gay relationship since it continues to be a key part of the show to this day.
