Topic	John Boyega speaks on harrassment of star wars actors

Harassing actors for playing the roles given to them is just being an impotent dick for no reason. You know that they choose to take roles, right? Directors, producers, etc, don't just grab somebody off the street and pressgang them into acting. Likewise, actors can have some input on the script, lest we forget how Harrison Ford infamously cut out a whole fight scene from Raiders. Blaming the victim now because she took a job Look at him go Pretending that somebody is a victim because they signed onto a high-paying film and are being criticized for their character's part in it. Look at him go. Go, Bri, go! Do you really not understand that an actor should not be personally attacked and threatened because of creative choices that they themself did not make? Do you really not understand that they read the script when they chose to take the role? And do you further not understand that these are all known risks? People have known Jake Lloyd's story for over a decade now. Anybody who gets involved in Star Wars is perfectly aware of the backlash that can come with it. They made their choice. As for the issue of death threats, welcome to the internet. I've had a dozen or more death threats on this board and I didn't have some million-dollar contract to star in a movie. They're getting bothered because they took a highly lucrative job in a terrible film. Meanwhile I get harassed by weirdos on a daily basis and I don't get anything from it. Man, I'm getting ripped off! Well, if things are really so awful for those overpaid actors, maybe they'd be willing to switch places. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:903136410] in John Boyeg...
