So is the new rule an actor cannot portray a type of person that they are not?

If so, many films including Forrest Gump and Hamilton should be banned/cancelled/deleted/ whatever today's cool word is.

Only when that type has the oppressed card.

For example, whites can not dub non-white characters*, however, blacks can dub white characters. Since trans have the oppressed card, that means that non-trans can't play (and eventually dub) trans characters.

It's a joke.

What is a joke? That she apologized?

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

That she even needed to.

Yes, Pierce Brosnan should apologize for paying an Englishman. Kevin Spacey for playing a hetero. Etc Etc

It seems that this is very fun for wokes. They had a lot of fun chasing Johansson too, until she apologized and left the role.

Well then I guess we have to ban actors. It’s all a bunch of oppressive racist racists.

So, she can’t pretend to be something she isn’t? Interesting. Ironic, even?

Is she top of the "secret tranny" polls? Hilarious.

True Tom Hanks does not have a mental disablity. This is getting so silly.

That's a shame, I would have liked to see in her in that role.
