casting a young, thin and tall woman for her sex appeal to portray a short, obese and old man who wasn't very attractive at all.

Like, this is real tea. Why is anyone asking Scarlet Johansson to portray that person in particular. They have nothing in common. What is even the point of casting her if you're just going to put her in a fat suit and digitally add weight to her. Like, maybe she gave an amazing audition performance and they just had to acquiesce. I don't know. This makes no sense.

From what I've been led to understand, the director didn't even have her audition, he remembered her from gits and said that she was who he wanted

This whole "left eating itself" nonsense really tickles me. Because democrats can make criticism of other democrats, that's a terrible thing. Better to blindly follow, no matter what. Party before integrity, that's the main thing.

i no rite?

?THATS THE REAL ISSUE. WE CANT EVEN GET IN THE ROOM. Cast actors WHO ARE TRANS as NON TRANS CHARACTERS. I DARE YOU.?

I wonder why....

This is why i like Chaz Bono. Hes a transgender who doesnt throw a bitch fit every 3 seconds. An Actor of a popular TV show that doesnt bring up that hes trans every time he can and does a damn fine job at acting.


Chaz Bono is awesome. He was great in the Cult season of American Horror Story. He's also a customer of the business I work for. I have personally packed and shipped many orders for him.

Oh that's one-hundred percent trash, if that's true. Who is this director? This is some Roland Emmerich whitewashing level shit.

I don't know why she thought she need to go for that role in the first place. She looks nothing like the person did in real life, and there's a significant desire among consumers to see trans roles portrayed by trans characters.

It would have been a brilliant PR move if you think about it.

Then again perhaps her voiced concerns are legit and she really did come to a personal revelation on her own without a nod from any Hollywood agency. It happens; celebrities can have moments of ethical self-reflection too. And this wouldn't be the first case of this sort of turnaround to happen. Not saying Johansson deserves a public award for morally questioning herself, but it's not a first time this has occurred in the world of acting.

Although she might still get some flack for not drawing the same line when it came to accepting a lead role in Ghost in a Shell 2017. I wonder if part of the reason she's more wary of "appropriating" roles now is the past criticism she got before. Not that I would fault her for adapting to that kind of experience; movie actors are still human.

Oh really? I'm assuming Trevor is one of them. I can't remember any other specific characters though. Were they smaller roles?

Yeah all his friends in that one episode when he introduced Ian are actually what they say they are iirc.

Ah okay yeah I had forgotten about that scene. So Trevor's chest scars were probably legit then. I remember wondering about that in the first sex scene where he had his shirt off.

I don't know if I can really get behind this one. People play who they aren't all the time in movies. We consider them the good actors.
