yeah that not funny.

The funny thing is that he’s not wrong...he says things in a shitty way but I have met a lot of women from onine sites and the reality is that a headshot pretty much always means a lady who isn’t comfy showing her figure...I am not judging (I am not thin) but that’s the norm...

No, he really is wrong.

Yeah... I’m going to do you a favor and let you know that, just like people shouldn’t point out there were a few ok people in the white nationalist march, you should just keep the fact that a couple points in his tip resonated with you to yourself. Especially when the list includes “2. Your boundaries are complete…

Was someone arrested for something they said? No? Then no ones freedom of speech was violated in any way.

Listen, I totally get that “your” Zionism is non-exclusive and integrates Muslims and Christians seamlessly into your one imagined state (which would be Jewish... ?) Unfortunately, Zionism has already manifested in the real world, and that real world expression of Zionism does not exactly align with your view. I guess…

“the brand of Zionism she fights against is not the brand of Zionism I recognize”
“one cannot be a Zionist and a feminist at the same time. I am indeed both, thankyouverymuch”

So is the “brand of Zionism” that has resulted in the current apartheid state that is Israel your brand of Zionism, or not? I’m totally open to…

Having black actors doesn’t make financial sense? Explain to us how that works workout institutional racism.

No, you’re right, let’s just pretend that bias against Black actors on Broadway isn’t a thing.

Auditioning is the highly subjective act of getting the right people into the right roles for your show. It sucks when you audition for a role you don’t get, but it is not the same as being kicked out of a role you already have - and am getting paid for - because the money folks want mo’ money, and not because you…

So, this is my industry, and I am (among other things) an actor of color, and let me tell you something. I know how money works (for the most part), I GET that one of the worst problems with Broadway is capitalism. But when I saw this picture, it was at the exact same time that I learned that Oak was replacing Groban,…

...you’re still not getting it. Yes, actors are replaced all the time when their run is over. They basically said “we’re not going to let you finish your time on the show and replace you with a white dude”. Do you not understand how the entertainment industry works and how actors of color are constantly looked over…

I wasn’t aware that it appears their “catastrophically low” sales, to quote Dave Malloy, were more than enough to cover production. This is really upsetting to me, because part of the complication is that Malloy and Chavkin went through incredible strides to bring on a cast that is extremely diverse and colorful, and…

The difference is Onaodowan replaced Groban after he was done with the show, his run was over. They didn’t let Onaodowan finish his nine week run, they cut it short by three weeks to replace him with Patinkin. If they had let Onaodowan finish out his run, it wouldn’t have been a big deal.

“However, we had the wrong impression of how Oak felt about the casting announcement and how it would be received by members of the theater community, which we appreciate is deeply invested in the success of actors of color – as are we – and to whom we are grateful for bringing this to our attention.

I feel really bad for everyone involved, but it sucks the most for Okieriete. After riding high playing an awesome role in Hamilton, this is just a shitty thing to have happen to him. 

That’s bullshit. Men in their 70s and above are not so age blind they see women in their 30s as children. Men that age still marry trophy wives who are under 45 and watch porn featuring women in their late teens and 20s. This isn’t “our baggage,” you’re making excuses for creepers. Plenty of elderly adults know how…

Rape is often treated in a“sexy” way on TV/ in movies - and portrayed in a way to appeal to prurient interests.

That is right on target. Rape is often treated in a“sexy” way on TV/ in movies - and portrayed in a way to appeal to prurient interests. I take no issue with rape as a topic being mentioned on TV, or it being part of someone’s off-screen “back story” (because, let’s be honest, it is part of many women’ s back story)…
