that argument is just so dumb bc 1) who doesn't think their parents work hard under most circumstances 2) 'hard' jobs do not by their nature = better pay. a job is harder if you're slaving away for fuck all

Yea I hate when people talk about their parents working hard to get what they have or they themselves working hard because it always sounds like it implies that people who don't have money or are struggling aren't also working hard. Most people are, but hard work does not necessarily result in a monetary reward which is something people a lot of people really do not seem to grasp.

so well put, ia

[my_moloko]

Agreed.

Yeah that's why I usually don't like them tbh lmao. I feel like they try too hard in their acting idk and can't let themselves truly go in roles that aren't 'posh'

[saemcrh]

This is why I love Jack O’Connell.

[xtinkerbellax]

Yea there are people who are great on stage but not so great on film, it's a totally different kind of acting imo. I feel like sometimes they just can't tone it down and lack subtly.

and they get their experience because being in those posh schools means their names are in that wealth circle already, they can afford to do nothing while waiting on roles

[msbombtastic]

Yeah it sucks imo. Just not for me. And I don't really like British content...@ me bitches !!

[zazie_toujours]

i'll @ u to say i was a total teaboo when i was younger and british comedy and cinema genuinely had a strong, diverse and thriving working class/lower middle class voice. i thought nobody made better tv and film than the brits.

that voice is almost completely gone now and in the year of our lord 2019 i dgaf about any shows or comedy from britain. sad

[coquettishkat]

omg "teaboo" is killing me lmaoo

[rememberorbeli]

i'm gonna start using teaboo instead of anglophile lmao, it sounds way more embarrassing

[angstandennui]

Isn’t Cumberbatch the same actor who said he was “trapped in a prison of wealth and privilege” 🙄

[qaladriel]

he also said that he experienced discrimination for being posh
