@LA_Knight89@moniza_hossain You don’t think there would be discourse over the racial connotations of a brown man playing the inanimate object created sorely for the pleasure of a white woman?? Genuinely asking
Everyone acting like they’re betrayed but I’ve legit never heard of this man’s politic before so what convinced yall that he was on your “side”?? This is a genuine ask by the way. I’d get it if it was a Mark Ruffalo but what did Hoult do to convince yall this is out of character?
The quotes are confusing to me. What has Nicholas Hoult said or done that made yall think he was above this?? Is there some activism I don’t know about that would deem this as being a “sell out” move??
This is true. It was easier to turn people against Amber cos most people’s first introduction to her were through him. Meanwhile everyone knows Angelina independent of him. The people against her already hated her so he’s not converting any new people no matter how hard he tries
He wants everyone to hate Angie the same way Depp got people to hate Amber for (indirectly) exposing his abuse, except it won’t work bc (1) Angie has her own money, (2) she’s got a 30+ year reputation apart from him, (3) she’s got 6 kids backing her.
@WickedTia Follow up, what would that look like?is it possible for the discourse to stop without straight women yielding and deciding they’re now open to dating bi men?
