war propaganda used to be so much cooler. why cant you just publish a brightly coloured poster of a big burly ukrainian man punching a weirdly racialised caricature of a russian guy in the face like they did in the olden days instead of doign this shit im begging on my hands and knees

So glad to find someone else who also gets uncomfortable with these show concerts! I just can't watch any of these promotion videos, I get super uncomfortable, both from second hand embarrassment and also the idea of actors having to do these things...I feel all squirmy just thinking about it!

Yeah this has always been an issue I’ve had, like celebrity/fan interactions of any kind really squick me out unless it’s the most very basic shyly getting something signed variety.  I frequented the local convention circuit as a vendor and cosplayer and RELIGIOUSLY avoided celebrity interactions and the autograph area.  Like, I think I attended one(1) actor panel and it was James Marsters (who was hilarious and lovely but I nearly had to get up and leave during the Q&A).

So yeah, honestly any kind of unscripted show really makes me uncomfortable because the idea of people being forced to put on that social display for an audience just drives me nuts, but especially when the fan fervor is intense.  And, you know, I know like in this case the actors seem totally cool with it, but still I CANNOT.

NBC is really out here testing me with Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, aren’t they? The songs and the whole plot and MAX.

If Zoey doesn’t end up with Max, I’m going to SCREAM
