Jeremy Renner used
[the T word]
the word "tranny"

 to describe a trans* person in an interview and now I don't think I like him anymore.

Things I do not want to hear in response to this:

• he "didn't mean it" (if you don't mean something, don't say it)
• he "doesn't know any better" (if you want to play a trans* character in a film then fucking educate yourself)
• it was "

You know, I can't decide if I think he is or not. I really could not tell from the tone of his answer in the interview what the hell was going on there. He's been relatively thoughtful and articulate on other subjects in interviews I've seen/read so this kind of came out of nowhere.

Eh. Problematic! I know that he's a complete stranger and that I shouldn't give a shit what he thinks, and that it shouldn't affect how I feel about his performance in The Avengers. So that's what I'm working towards.

Better still, why can't they educate themselves and then open their mouths all they like!
