No one said you couldn’t have opinions. You’re being dramatic. It is infact toxic to call those casted ugly, pointing out every flaw, etc especially about a series that is here to promote not being a bully. Also, it’s weird to Americanize a series about NON Americans and then to also accept and promote the Use of AI fan casts. Literally one of the most popular Joey fan casts is literally a racist misogynistic man, but because he has blonde hair and an eyebrow slit it’s all okay. Like my god

People are harassing the actors bc they don’t look how they want them to. That sounds toxic to me no one is saying they can’t have an opinion and hate when you mfs make this argument NO ONE SAID THAT.

I have literally only seen people here saying they don’t fit the book descriptions like they expected and that they made a certain character that is curvy in the books—something we don’t get enough rep of in film—much smaller. I’m sure there are some people taking it too far like people do with every single type of media. But not every criticism is toxic in nature. I hate AI to my bones. I was not talking about that. But whatever. No nuance here, huh

People harass actors all the time if they don’t have the skin colour people wanted and it’s sad. People should be able to enjoy the movie and not care what they look like

I’m sorry but you’re giving “my experience has to overrule yours”. People do not have to specify every exception to make sure you feel heard and understood. This was clearly about those that ARE toxic and not people gen being upset. I don’t know how people have gotten so far away from comprehension and literacy to think that every statement has to be specified. You can take this post, and clearly understand I’m talking about a certain group of people…

People tend to picture those how they want. Until he was described, I pictured him as tan simply because that’s the vibe he gave. Not necessarily white but tanned olive skin. Like I’m scared for Rebecca Y and her team

Yes but to be fair, white washing characters is not great. Like are yall forgetting that representation matters? If a character in a book is BIPOC and they cast them as white, are folks not allowed to be upset about it? I don’t think ANYONE should be harassed for being cast as a character at all, it’s not their decision, but this conversation is far more nuanced than how it’s being treated here.

I literally said that I’m sure some people are taking it too far but okay keep intentionally misinterpreting what I said
