More than a decade ago, when the mispurposed, underinformed & #39;social justice& #39; slacktivism started, I made an oh-FFS blogpost about actors. More than a decade on, it seems soi-disant righteous morons out there still don& #39;t get it. So let me try again.
Loudly and slowly, for the hard of thinking at the back:
AN.
ACTOR.
IS.
A.
PERSON.
WHO.
IMPERSONATES.
SOMEONE.
THEY.
ARE.
NOT.
This is what an actor *IS*. Not a role model. Not a perfect representation of real life.
Grow. The. Fuck. Up.

Because if you *don& #39;t* grow the fuck up, you& #39;re not only beyond thick, you& #39;re beyond hypocritical. Because you& #39;r e not insisting on fairness all around. Casting for a serial killer? Cast only a serial killer. Casting for a 25y.o.? Only cast a 25y.o....
...and so on and so on, right down to aliens and zombies. And good luck with that, eh?
And no, it& #39;s not & #39;different& #39;. The principle is the same. AN ACTOR IS A PERSON WHO PLAYS SOMEONE THEY ARE NOT. Catch yourselves on before the REAL bad guys...

...push back so hard that we& #39;ll lose all the GENUINE social justice that so many of us have been working towards for several generations. And oh, they will. So stop playing the bullshit puerile holier-than-thou SJW cards...
...and try LIVING some real social justice, by treating people as people, no matter what colour their skin is. I& #39;ve been doing that all my days so far and have no intention of stopping. And here& #39;s a tip: if you have & #39;friends& #39; or family that...
...think people with different skin colours should be treated differently (where & #39;differently& #39; = & #39;worse& #39;), and you can& #39;t talk them out of their stupid poisonous mindset, then divorce them. Ghost them. Shun them. Cut them cold. Otherwise...
