As a person who allows the dog to sleep in her bed, I say cats are a hell of a lot easier to bed share with. My dog is a fan of occupying an entire queen bed (sideways usually, of course) and farting in your face.

Because the whole idea of “professional” is to differentiate between people with money and people without it. And no one in high society would every dye their hair such a ghastly color, don’t ya know.

She’s like one of the coolest looking teachers I’ve ever seen. ♥

...but they say their current discrimination policy is meant to include LGBTQ youth and staff, even if there is no actual language stating so.

I’ve learned to be wary of people preaching “empowerment”. In many contexts it’s usually used in sentences like “we’re empowering you to cure your own cancer by taking away your health care”

Did you understand your best interests when you were 14? I mean, I should acknowledge the possibility that you’re currently 13, but there’s a reason we don’t let 14-year olds drink or drive.

This is a stupid, hyperbolic statement that bears absolutely no resemblance to anything I or anyone else that has a problem with this thinks.

Relatively young? They’re in their 30s and showrunners which means they damn well better know the lines of propriety with minors.

First, they aren’t coworkers. They’re her boss. Second, she’s a teenager. Third, again, why would adult men brag about “teasing” a teenager for her discomfort?

She was 14 and the influential adult men hold her career (a career her entire family has given up a lot for her to have) in their hands.

If only, your statement was any part factual. Yes. She is an actor. Yes. She did the kiss. She even was graceful in post interviews.

People are upset not simply because an underage actor was made to perform a kiss that wasn’t in the script. They’re upset because the men who asked her to do it responded to her saying she was uncomfortable by saying her resistance to the idea made it even more important to them that she do it, and then told her it…

Yes!!!

I’m sticking with the OP on this. With an interview in print, one (especially a young actress with a lot to lose) has the time to cultivate the perfectly diplomatic statement.

I am assuming that you definitely watched that behind the scenes segment, because I remember having discussions on here about wretched and icky that conversation was. And how it sorta sealed the fact that this set must have been a pretty sick boys club (all film newbies actors, unlimited control) just based on how…

“Sadie Sink was all of 14 when she said that. She’s just starting her career. You think a 14 year old actor, who wants to keep working, is going to have the fortitude and the perspective to take a public stand on bad behavior from the adults who employ her? C’mon, man. What was she supposed to say? “I hated it and…

You are absolutely right, there are gradations of behavior. And the overall context is men responding to women saying they are uncomfortable with something by pressing harder.

Isn’t it though? I’d avoid the former site’s comments because it would devolve into sexist bullshit or one-up-manship. At least here, I know who I can trust to give a sound, reasonable, compassionate argument.

It’s almost never part of some mindfuck.

If you want to find anything involving the truth behind a situation, never read the Daily Mail. They are one of the most untrustworthy sources out there.
