what great artists have we lost? who has actually had serious repercussions from this? and why do actors insist they are artists?

[sandstorm]

Right? The world isn't a poorer place because Shia LaBeouf can't act in a blockbuster anymore.

ALSO find it v. telling that people are complaining about this but when women get blacklisted for speaking up about something no one bats an eye

[hubbabubbabb]

Yep! Where are the droves of men yelling about “censoring,” “the first amendment,” or “cancel culture” then?

Honestly, in the case of Johnny Depp, his addictions ruined his career; in the case of Shia LaBouef, his anger ruined his career; and in the case of Armie Hammer, he never really had a career.

exactly, like?? they lost their jobs for the same reasons anyone else would lol. famous ppl really believe they should be untouchable

[erin805]

Perfectly said! Especially the Armie Hammer part

[tanglespiders]

Seriously, Mel Gibson has like a dozen projects in production and he has gone on racist, Antisemitic rants and knocked out his wife's teeth. Depp and Shia having to do a low budget films for a few years instead of signing onto a Marvel or Star Wars franchise is not a fucking book burning.

And Mark Walhberg still gets hired even tho his evil ass committed hate crimes.

And TERF Rowling refused to recast Depo

Actors are artists….

But to your other questions, yeah exactly. Even if they are great artists, it doesn’t matter how great they are if they have committed harm. They should face some sort of consequence like everyone else.

[glitterslugs]

I was mostly joking lol i do believe actors are artists but it’s always the ones that are no talent useless that speak up about this shit

[takarai_karin]

Also what about all the great art we're missing out due to victims quitting the industry after trauma or after seeing their abusers not getting accountability? When it comes to hypothetical art why is it never about them?

[trekkiepetrelli]

like ray fisher says, accountability > entertainment
