https://www.breitbart.com/entertain...-actor-who-can-hear-to-play-a-deaf-character/ CBS’ new drama The Stand, an adaptation of Stephen King’s classic dystopian novel, has come under fire for casting an actor who can hear to play a deaf character, with activists now calling on Hollywood studios to change their hiring practices. From the comments: 1. "No, they cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy." 2. " Only corpses should be allowed to play dead people. Only Nazis should be allowed to play Nazis. Only people with Covid should be allowed to play sick people. Only mass-murderers should be allowed to play mass-murderers. And only perverts should be allowed to play perverts. Diversity for EVERYONE!! (sarc) "
“They’ve always been”.... It would be nice to give a deaf actor the part, there’s probably limited roles for them to be cast. But in today's “woke” culture it’s impossible to conduct everyday life without pissing someone off.
Quit reading tabloid garbage Breitbart. The same three whiners who would send the studio letters crying about it are now on Twitter. Don't add to the whine by getting triggered by such a rag.
Brian Cheslik should eat a dick, and understand that it goes both ways. Maybe deaf people should not play the role of people who can hear? Fucking moron. Anyone remember Marlee Matlin? Certainly not that Brian asshole, and certainly not that uber asshole, Dirk Benedict. Anyone remember that washed up ass-licker? He played Starbuck in the original "Battlestar Galactica" show. And he went on a little twitter rant some years ago about how he felt that it was "insulting" for Starbuck to be portrayed by a woman (Katie Sackoff) in the Sci-Fi channel remake of the show. FUCK these idiots! The LOT of them!
Marlee Matlin has 20 percent hearing in one ear and she for an academy award for playing a completely deaf girl. Tut tut. Though she did get the most money ever on celebrity apprentice, wonder home much Donny grifted from her deaf charity.
Today’s right wing and republicans are the clearest threat to the constitution and democracy in America since 1860. The only consistent policy, aside from cultlike total loyalty to a reject failure, fascist reality tv host who covers himself in orange make up and has the most fucked up hair cut on the planet, is a total appeasement to russia.
Three random twitter handles is how these morons at Breitbart are drawing conclusions, wait until they visit Parler and see the kind of shit right wing loons are parading.
Diversity as practised by extreme liberal idiots is just that. I am going to fix it though. Have been urging and goading producers to give the roles normally given to the likes of George Clooney, Robert De Niro, Debra Messing, Mark Ruffalo to black, asian and other actors of color. After all, these other actors can do as good a job as any actor. Now, George Clooney and Mark Ruffalo has said they had white privilege which they do, getting plum roles paying them $20 million a picture. However, they have made no effort to give up their white privilege so, I will help them absolve themselves of their white privilege. So, in the spirit of removing white privilege, I will continue to urge black activists on Twitter to demand producers give some of these privileged Hollywood idiot actors and actresses roles and commercial endorsements to people of color. Now, let us see when they start losing their plum roles to people of color, which of these idiots cry and whine like babies? Then, we can work on the BS Emmys, Oscars and what have you awards as icing on the cake. Diversity in Hollywood needs to be put in place for good.
