are we gonna do this “actually Amber Heard was the abuser” shit every two months until we die like is that it
what do you all gain from defending a 55 year old man who was getting drunk and assaulting people in public even before Amber Heard was born? Depp is not only a violent asshole but also a creep who dated Winona Ryder when she was 17 and he was 26 and then Kate Moss when she was 20 and he was 31. Do you dumbasses really think if there was substantial proof of alleged abuse Amber Heard perpetuated Depp’s lawyers wouldn’t have used it to avoid paying a 7 million dollar alimony? (all of which Heard donated to charity by the way) Johnny Depp is near bankruptcy and he is trying to get his money back and you dumbass woke genzennials are helping him in his smearing campaign for free
What do you mean “guidelines” and “recommendations”, the only Right and Correct way to start reading Discworld is to choose a random book from the library shelf, start there, try to figure out what the hell is going on, embrace the weird and cool concepts and the fact that this setting is just Like That, fall in love with characters, have the best time of your life and repeat (the next book you choose may seem totally unrelated, but it’ll all start coming together after a while)
So not to be a fandom old about it, but you know how there’s that big debate over whether or not LGBT roles have to be played by LGBT actors? Many more of them are played by LGBT actors who for whatever reason are not ready to be out yet (or ever.) And it’s truly none of your business.
Adding to this, there are a ton of reviews for the film version of Hedwig on Letterbox that gave it 1 star solely on the premise that it “wasn’t written by non-binary people”.
Cut to earlier this month and both John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask have come out as non-binary.
Just because a person isn’t out, doesn’t mean they are cis/straight.
Wynonna Earp cast two cishet women as a lesbian/bisexual couple. Since then, both of them have come out as not straight (I don’t believe either of them have ever labeled themselves but their words seem like they’re both pan to me) and Dom is gender fluid and nonbinary. Both of them have credited their roles and the welcoming LGBT+ fanbase show as helping them realize they weren’t straight. Those roles helped them see past heteronormativity and explore their own identities.
Stop demanding personal information from actors and creators. If the representation is problematic, let’s talk about it. But if they’re doing a good job at portraying LBGT+ issues and people and relationships, let them live their lives in peace.
Louder for the people in the back:
A CREATORS PERSONAL LIFE IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.
You are NOT FUCKING ENTITLED to know the personal life of an actor, writer, or other artists. Their identity and sexuality are NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.
Demanding that people out themselves is wrong, entitled, and fucked up. People have a BASIC RIGHT TO FUCKING PRIVACY and to disclose deeply personal things when and IF they feel that they are ready.\
Posts that be like “If I were a monster that had to eat people, i would just eat horrible people~” are so absurd to me. How often do you see Known Criminals on the street? Billionaires out for a nightly stroll around town? Effectively fucking never. If I have to drag myself to the grocery store, you think it’s gonna be any easier for me to hunt Bezos and Co. every time my stomach growls? I can’t bother to plan meals more than a day in advance, how am i gonna perform whole ass detective work to confirm someone’s a serial killer before i eat them? Ya’ll got that much time on your hands? Planning 5 course meals every night of the week? Don’t make me laugh. Eat a pedestrian and tragically wrestle with guilt like the rest of us, idiot.
Experienced people eater weighing in with the most galaxy brain option
“adhd and autism are cousins, of course there’s a lot of overlap, and we can come together to bond over shared experiences” and “for the love of GOD just because you have adhd doesn’t mean you can speak on the autistic experience” and “not all neurodivergent people are autistic or have adhd and it’s important to remember and avoid implying that places where adhd and autism overlap are universal nd experiences” MUST coexist
