So you’ve never said anything in the heat of the moment that you later regretted? You’ve never had a slip of the tongue and said something the wrong way and taken out of context?
I think you're not getting the concept of people not caring about celebrities' social/political views. That goes both ways. I wish Gina Carano was still in The Mandalorian and still had the planned spin-off. I watch Signs because I think it's a great movie regardless of what Mel Gibson says. That's how it works.
I don't know, depends on how petty Walt was. We are talking about the guy who went in front of congress to accuse people of being communist with no proof so maybe.Now step back and think....
What if Annette Funicello, in the 1960 lead up to her starring role in the release of 1961's Walt Disney's Babes in Toyland, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times saying;
"May Kennedy supporters and Kennedy voters and John F. Kennedy himself never know peace."
Walt Disney was a notable supporter of Richard Nixon in the 1960 Presidential campaign, but even after Annette was forced to "apologize" for her purposeful remarks to the media, I can't imagine that Walt would have allowed Annette Funicello to work for his studio and company ever again. Can you?
What a reasonable statement this would be in 2012.
I think it’s important to note that those political remarks (which were indeed inappropriate and certainly warranted an apology) postdated the anti-Zegler rage that some of us here found baffling and disconcerting. Certain people were already very, very angry with her long before she uttered anything political—and all because she made some flippant remarks about an old film.
I’m not supportive of her, but indifferent. I really don’t care one way or the other about the vast majority of celebrities (with rare exceptions such as Dolly Parton).
And the underlying reason why her flippant remarks were blown out of proportion and publicized to that degree.
Go back further. This started because of her race - very powerful people were viciously attacking her before she said anything about the film.
Absolutely. A lot of fuss over nothing.
I don’t particularly care about Zegler, but I do care about the toxic bullying, normalized hatred, bad faith victimhood, and gleeful cruelty that drive this story and defines the country at the moment.
I share your concerns and hope I didn’t suggest otherwise.
Some people just can't go one second without screaming about politics.
I can’t sympathize with people who hate iman vellani especially. She’s a national treasure and must be protected at all costs.
Not surprised. I know everyone online is saying it’s great but I didn’t think it worked well as a comedy. The average post-2020 Pixar title has better jokes, to say nothing of the classic Looney Tunes shorts.
This, and before people get all upset, that doesn't mean everyone who is down on her or disagrees with her is like that, but there is a very vocal group who do this exact thing and far too many people sit by silently without pushing back.
I’m not the one who made a Snow White remake (or Little Mermaid or Last Jedi or…) a major political flashpoint.
