– everyone seems to be asking for sources, so here's a quick thread of things bradley james has said/done that you should be aware of.
yes, a lot of these are from years ago, but we can't know if he's changed/still says these things so please don't ignore them.

disclaimer: i'm not asking for you to hate him, but please be aware before you act like he has done no wrong. as far i've seen, he hasn't apologised for any of the following.
– he starred in season 4 of homeland (2014), which is a show known for racist & islamophobic messages. we don't know bradley's reasoning for choosing the role but taking part in a show like that is never good because you can easily be seen as supporting said bad message.
– here's a segment on how homeland portrays muslim characters:

– in this clip he slut shames gwen from bbc merlin and implies that to him, she's unattractive. which is obviously both misogynistic & disrespectful to angel coulby.
– with vivian, a blonde white woman, he loves the idea him/his character being with her. but gwen, a woc, is "slutty" and implied to be unattractive ://
- in another commentary clip (3x01) him & katie mcgrath talk about katie's "natural look" as morgana after she went missing for a year. he jokes that not all women can pull off a natural look which is just not the best thing to say ://
– here he talks about how in some of the arthurian legends, lancelot was in love with arthur instead of gwen. he then says this would be "too much" for tv. an lgbt character isn't family friendly yet the show has shown torture, death and even implied sex with a troll ://

i didn't think i'd have to add to this thread again but bradley also left a homophobic message on tom hoppers' car. laura is tom's wife. this was also apparently received as 'hilarious' by a lot of people.

– in the merlin 2x10 commentary, they discuss the kiss scene between arthur & vivian. bradley enjoyed it so he wanted to do extra takes, which is both unprofessional & disrespectful to georgia. he knew she was together with david tennant at the time as he visited the set.
– he reposted this medici fan art on his ig [cr: maryluis] without crediting the artist. when people began to mention the creator in the comments he turned the comments off. he eventually deleted the post all together after complaints on his twitter. no credit was given.
