a fan edited the official movie poster that erased half of the star's face and added lipstick and tweaked a bunch of stuff,, the star got really upset and tweeted that the poster was offensive and her erasure hurt her and she wanted people to know that it hurt her.
so a bunch of people attacked her.
she wrote more than necessary, maybe, but she didn't attack the fan or ask the fan to take the poster down or anything like that, she was just letting people know that she felt hurt, and she was rabidly attacked for expressing herself.
Here's an opinionated article on the subject that includes a copy of the modified image contrasting it to the original (and also the poster for the musical), https://worthitorwoke.com/wicked-star-cynthia-erivos-reaction-to-a-fan-made-poster-is-everything-wrong-with-celebrity-entitlement/
What the fuck is wrong with that article author? The blanket admonishment of celebrities hides the lack of critical thinking or analysis the author was required to do for the story. Such lazy "news" is just a polarization vector to hate on celebrities and is not worth the time or energy to read.
The site has a clear mission of "fighting the woke." It's main purpose is to rank movies and games on a scale from "Woke👹" to "Based😊" so that users don't have to be triggered by wokeism. So yeah, I wouldn't expect high quality reporting.
Do I need adblock for tinfoil hats now?
Don't need adblock if you block yourself from theese shitty sites in the first place
It’s never a bad idea.
