Accountability in Entertainment • Page 424

It also feels weird how eager some ppl get to tear down a female celeb and put them in their place tho. And of course many social media users are failing to find the nuance.

 

I think a lot of people already had a pre hatred of Blake because of the plantation wedding and running an antebellum blog (I am seeing people bringing both of those up in this current discourse) but I thought she apologized for both of those and it does feel like she’s getting a tooooon of flack, that sure, maybe is a bit deserved due to how she is speaking about the movie, but not to the extent that is currently happening

 

She also worked with Woody Allen and said she wanted a trans child so they can wear her shoes

 

Yeaaah if you’re still working with Woody Allen you deserve quite a bit of flack. Of course she’s far from the only one though.

 

The tweet says the fracture happened after she commissioned a cut, but the article doesn’t actually say that. Obviously that could still be the case, but I feel like that’s a pretty big distinction to just add to your tweet knowing most people aren’t going to read the source.

 

So...not an accountability issue?

 

Sicko mode

 

get their asses

 

Would be the greatest thing ever if it happens. Get Logan on there too

 

I also keep seeing she’s promoting the movie as a “romance” film but I don’t see that anywhere. People just keep saying it. I absolutely could have missed it but I haven’t seen anything where she avoids that it’s a movie about DV only people saying she’s avoiding it

 

Oh to have JK put away

 

Yeah okay I see what people are saying now, this was definitely not the most appropriate reply here, especially since the interviewer is talking about domestic violence survivors coming up to her.

Edit: TMZ posted this

 

The official genre in multiple places is listed as romance, the trailer is posted with the tag romantic drama - I understand the heavier content of it, but like, is it not a romance film just because it contains distressing themes? Why can't a romance film tackle tougher subjects?

I understand the flack on the clip above and preparing for people to relate to the story ^, but the rest is a little lost on me. Like why is saying put on your summer dress, get your girlfriends together, and come see this flick a bad thing? You can read countless 5 star reviews from women, and read blogs from women recommending the book to other women so what am I missing?

If the film and book tackles the subject in a tactful way (which it seems it does from nothing but glowing praise from readers and views) I am not sure I see anything controversial besides a few interview slip ups.

 

I think the difference is that it’s potentially triggering subject matter and shouldn’t be advertised like a light, fun summer rom-com

 

Funny video on the Blake stuff

 

Gonna hold this video accountable for being annoying.

 

The fat shaming definitely would depend how he said it, but asking how much she weighs because he needs to lift her and he has a bad back on its face doesn't sound bad. But obviously it would all be in how he approached the subject. But the tmz article just says he asked his trainer and she later found out about it so it doesn't seem like he made a big deal about it to everyone at least not off that article

Obv the kissing too long would be messed up and hopefully they had intimacy coordinators on set.

Just seems like every new report doesn't actually contain any new info

 

Can I ask where you’re seeing praise for the way the book handles domestic violence? All I’ve seen is that the book writes about serious matters in a “cutesy” way and doesn’t actually seem to consider them with any gravity

 

I may be extrapolating too much out of it, but good reads / amazon = 4.15 and 4.7. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that those scores would be lower if the subject matter wasn't handled tactfully / sensitively. (or you'd see a lot of 1's - 3% 1 star ratings on good reads).

I haven't read it / seen it, and I also may be being insensitive with my questioning so sorry to anyone if I was / am. I'll look elsewhere on my own.

 

Can’t speak for anyone else but I didn’t find it insensitive, we’re just talking and asking questions.

The issue I’m having is that it seems like this movie is being treated like a Nicholas Sparks melodrama where you’re gonna have a big cry and talk about the love story when it’s definitely not that.
