I had a dicussion with a friend about the whole scarjo transgender movie role. He stated that there needed to be a heavy celebrity role in order for movies regarding minorities to get greenlit and the attention it may deserve. I stated if it can't be done right, don't do it at all. I know there are some heavy star power trans celebrities, but not a ton of physically disabled celebrities. I wanted learn more about your stance on this and how you regard movies centered around disabled celebs
Is there are some disabled actors with name recognition like Marlee Matlin, RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad, and Gaten Matarazzo from Strangers Things. Marlee Matlinhas been around for a long time and the latter are relatively recent stars but they became stars because the shows they were on hired them as unknown actors.
There would be a lot more disabled actors, trans-actors, Asian actors, etc. if they ever got hired for anything so the solution is to start hiring them.
I understand that studios believe people don't tend to want see disabled, trans, Asian, etc. characters so they want to hire people that audiences will go to see regardless of the movies content; this is why it's so important people are considerate of what they give their money to.
im not totally getting how the work out formula is ableist? I mean, I see how it would be so if it applied to disabled people but its for athletes/body buliders?
Working out isn't, but there are a lot of people that tell disabled people that they will be cured if they exercise more which isn't true, obviously
Hello, if you got an ask like this ignore me and sorry! I wanted to know if you had an opinion on the show Speechless? I thought its an incredibly great show, especially when they've hired a disabled actor, but since I'm not physically disabled, I was perhaps looking for some insight
I guess I should your review of it?
I never watched it because I can't really stand sitcoms or whatever those are called and I thought it was kind of a copout that they decided the disabled character should be nonverbal/nonsigning so everything is to come through able-bodied characters
I’ve done redesigns of my other shared fusions and felt like I should give this lovely lady a touch up as well. @alvrexadpot‘s and my fusion of their Ajoite and my Jade, Amazonite uwu. I’ve been having fun with this style lately tbh and I might do a lot more soon
I had no clue Oscar Wilde was anti semetic! I read up on it a bit and I assume you have evidence from the Picture Of Dorian Gray, which I hadn't read. I saw someone saying that the character in it is a parody and at most Wilde was insensitive since some of his closest friends and supporters were a jewish couple, but I'd really like to hear your input on that matter
Some quotes:
From The Picture of Dorian Gray:
A hideous Jew, in the most amazing waistcoat I ever beheld in my life, was standing at the entrance, smoking a vile cigar. He had greasy ringlets, and an enormous diamond blazed in the centre of a soiled shirt...
For some reason or other, the house was crowded that night, and the fat Jew manager who met them at the door was beaming from ear to ear with an oily, tremulous smile. He escorted them to their box with a sort of pompous humility, waving his fat jeweled hands, and talking at the top of his voice. Dorian Grey loathed him more than ever.
This is a recurring character who is shown to bow and scrape before anyone who he thinks might be able to give him some advantage, and who tries to emulate English nobility but gets it wrong because he is ‘the wrong sort.’
Harry, the Jewish theatre owner, is also shown to be taking financial advantage of a young actress’s debts to keep her ‘bound to him.’ Harry’s insistence that he wants to ‘introduce’ her to Dorian is a clear implication that this theatre owner is also a pimp.
It is a ‘Jewish doctor’ who is responsible for infusing the blood of others into a man to make him totally evil.
Some people have argued that he was parodying George Eliot here, and that since ‘he had a Jewish friend,’ specifically a novelist who he called ‘The Sphinx,’ gosh, he couldn’t be antisemitic (I know, I groaned out loud too), but read on, friends! It only gets worse from here!
In the unfinished work ‘A Florentine Tragedy,’ a character named Salome refers to Jewish people as ‘hideous usurers’ who are taught to take a little pain to later twist it to their advantage.
In the essay De Profundis, Wilde portrays Jewish people as the bourgeois enemies of ‘the people,’ art, music, true spirituality and beauty, who must be fought tooth and nail, toppled and eventually exterminated for the betterment of the human race.
In Salome, Wilde refers to Jewish people as ‘howling wild beasts’ who tear each other apart over the details of religious ritual. He also writes in this play that Jewish people only believe what we cannot see, because it’s the only way that we can continue to fight people over it. (Really.)
Wilde blamed “the Jews” for his indecency conviction.
In another letter to a friend, he wrote: “The Jews make propaganda to homosexuality, but on the other hand they strike at their enemies with it.” He also blamed a ‘Jewish physician’ in Paris for making him worse, not better. (A small thing, but in the pile of things he has already said, not insignificant.)
In a letter to a friend he wrote:
'So Tartuffe goes out of my life ---Of course the fact of his being a Jew, on his father's side, explains everything.I hope on the day of St. Hugh of Lincoln there will be a general massacre – but I don't know [when] that day occurs. Do you?'
That day is significant because it is the date when the supposed ritual murder of a boy (for the purposes of blood libel) which again supposedly occurred in Lincoln, England in 1255 AD and led to the immediate hanging of eighteen Jewish people and eventually our expulsion from England as a whole.
So yeah! Wilde was a fucking antisemite and I’m really tired of seeing him uncritically hailed as some sort of pure gay hero.
you ever think about when you put trevor in a certain suit hell only tuck one side of the shirt, like he isn't purposfully trying to look like a hot hipster mess
Trevor? makes any outfit a Look. He may b? Ugly. But his #Looks? ahead of his time. Trevor walks outside w his button down tucked into his neon booty shorts and literally no one can tell him anything bc he’s living in 3040 and we’re all barely living in 2018.
