He shouldn't have worked with her because she said this

"'I think its so stupid, because of this whole “minorities in Hollywood” thing. Its so stupid, stop stealing all the white people’s superheroes. Like, make up your own.'"....

but I won't let her ruin this film for me.

[therearewords]

And the trans character in that weird crime movie, wasn't that her as well?

[headswillroll88]

that's kind of taking what she said out of context. she was saying that minorities deserve our own original characters.

[frankthesheep]

Nope. She backtracked AFTER she was dragged and used the good old "out of context" excuse celebs use when they have said something stupid.

[su_metal]

I mean "make up your own" (create something original) it's something a lot of people here say as well and is not bad in context.

[frankthesheep]

If you want to talk about context, are you going to disregard the part about us "stealing" white people's stories? When did we come and steal them?

Furthermore, are POC not out there writing, creating but still being shut out by both indie and mainstream hollywood.

Y'all need to miss my inbox with this nonsense.

[su_metal]

lol!

i mean, you posted this to get reactions. acting like you don't like the attention, even negative, it's beneath you.

[mz_prodigette]

You must be white or non-black to be saying this bullshit

[su_metal]

bullshit? what did i say to the other user that is bullshit? nothing i wrote in the reply you're replying says that i approve or disapprove Rodriguez' quote, so tell me what part in that particular reply to franthesheep's behavior here is, according to you, bullshit and makes me white?

[mz_prodigette]

I was drunk when I wrote that and was taking things out of context. My apologies!

[frankthesheep]

I guess when you have no other half ass asinine legitimately out of context defence to come up with, this is all you are left with. Coming after me for even posting the quote in the first place, rather than just taking your loss quietly and leaving.

"Attention" here negative or not is of no interest to me. I'm not here fishing for brownie points that dont impact my real life in anyway. By and large i rarely comment here these days and if an "argument" is going no where i just delete it from my inbox without reading.

[su_metal]

i didnt come after you, i replied as you wanted and you didn't like it because it wasn't the reply you expected so you went defensive and i asked: "if what you wanted were reactions why reacting this way once you got it?"

that one it's better as an example of her being messy.

Re: or this gem

[su_metal]

not really, at least not as bad as this one.
