It's high key annoying how promotional or self-congratulatory her social justice is but it doesn't affect my view of MFS or Raelle. I don't know how yall are calling her a kid though, isn't she only 2 years younger than Amalia?

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
She'll probably do a Bundy-Pain and declare she's a straight queer soon enough. Doesn't seem like she's the type to go the others one's lower level of personal grooming though so that's a plus. She'll be more annoying than Soccer Mom at Clexacon soon.

And what is so wrong about her speaking out about the RIGHT things?

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
Seriously, is this thread full of far right white extremists?
A key point of the current moment: It is not enough to not be racist, we need to be anti-racist.
All anyone is criticizing is a young women educating herself and demonstrating her anti-racism. Being vocal and passionate is admirable.
So many times in this thread Ive seen people using right wing dog whistle terms like, “virtue signalling”. Like, thanks so much for your opinion Tucker Carlson .
Being woke is used as a derogatory term in this thread. But, think about it. Trying to open your eyes and and see the world for what it is, is a good thing. We all are, especially in these times, incumbent upon ourselves to grow, get educated, be anti-racist.

Anti-racist? I think they needed another way to elevate themselves as better than other when they realised that most people aren't racist anyway.

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
I have no doubt about it. When push comes to shove, it’s head in the sand and they move on cause they are afraid to do their jobs, especially when they are this young. Very few actors have the balls to speak against a storyline/network publicly especially with their show still running.

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
You’re mixing neo-liberalism with individual activism. I think it is right to be critical of Corporations espousing support for LGBTQ rights or BLM. I’m very cynical towards corporations monetizing, capitalizing on public movements. Corporations aren’t people. Neo-liberalism is all about a veneer of equality, of social progress. In fact it is actually counter progress and is invested in maintaining status quo. It also shifts responsibility, as much as possible, to individuals, versus themselves.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 19:29Did you skip right over the "using social issues that negatively affect others to signal how virtuous you are" part in your dramatics to shame everyone who doesn't fall ass over head to fawn over a straight white girl risking nothing?

Personal Activism you should try to be a bit less cynical towards. Nothing in this world is truly altruistic and certain there are assholes who are out there going to protests and being tourists, but I believe these truly are the minority.
I’d like to give Taylor the benefit of the doubt on this as she appears to be doing the work and not doing harm.

I just don't understand how someone could be NB or trans in the world anyway. If Raelle decided she was NB or Byron decided he was trans it wouldn't change who they are or their role in the world. Raelle would still have to be part of the military and Byron would still be making arts and crafts.

In fact, I'm sure she would very much care given how effusive she is about Raylla and Amalia in general. It means that she realizes she's not in the position to challenge her employer at this moment in her career.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 19:27I have no doubt about it.

And what is so wrong about her speaking out about the RIGHT things? If you have a problem with her speaking out as an ally with respect to Black Lives Matter and about LGBT rights, that says more about you and your issues than her. Having allies is necessary for change and progress. You guys are just ridiculous. Thank goodness a gay character is being portrayed by an actress that actually gives a damn about how much the character means to the fandom. I've had enough experience with the opposite - actresses that literally could not give a shit. Even when their character was shot by a random stray bullet and radio silence from said actress about how this affected the LGBT community. Give me Taylor ANY DAY.
But given that, it's not a fair argument to make that just because she may not actively bash the show or the writers if Scylla were to die on the show, that she should refrain from trying to amplify causes she likes in the meantime. If she feels passionately about BLM or LGBT rights, why would anyone in the world try to stop her? What harm is she doing? She's an actress who has a platform speaking out about good causes. I don't get the issue here.
Just one more thing - we are in hiatus and there is not too much to discuss about the show. Why are posts being reported regarding discussions about the actresses on the show? That is on-topic as far as I'm concerned.
Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
Bullshit. Given how passionate she is right now speaking against harmful rep and BYG and positive rep in general she would and should be compelled to speak out if something like that were to happen in her own show. People are arguing that she wouldn’t and only is right now because the show is at the moment doing right by the community. We have a very recent example of a young black actress on that very same network who wasnt happy with her storyline and how rep didn’t exist behind the scenes and actually spoke up.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 19:51Right, and if Scylla were to be killed off and Taylor DOESN'T speak out about it, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care.

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
No one knows whether she would speak out or not, and that's BESIDE THE POINT. The point is that her being vocal right now in support of causes she believes in is not a bad thing, and anyone making it seem like it is is just being nitpicky on her for no apparent reason. She may be over-eager and you can even say she's doing a bit too much, but why is that a bad thing if she's doing it to educate people. What benefit does she get out of putting herself out there in favor of BLM? If she were being sponsored for her posts, different story. But as far as we all know, she's a well-meaning young adult trying to amplify minority voices and educate herself on her white and straight privilege.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 20:08Bullshit.

God, what an ignorant post. Without "privileged" allies, the pendulum towards equality would be severely delayed. It's the ones with privilege that need to stand up in solidarity and be good allies. To think otherwise is just harmful. God forbid any of my straight family members or friends want to get themselves educated before speaking out on behalf of me and my rights. God forbid any white person wants to get educated before they attend a BLM rally. And then God forbid they try to help educate others. Do you think it's only the minorities that have the burden to change people's minds?
Personal Activism you should try to be a bit less cynical towards. Nothing in this world is truly altruistic and certain there are assholes who are out there going to protests and being tourists, but I believe these truly are the minority.
I’d like to give Taylor the benefit of the doubt on this as she appears to be doing the work and not doing harm.

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
The "bare minimum" is more than most other actresses playing lesbian/bi characters do. I'll take the bare minimum any day if it means that an actress actually cares enough to speak out. And I don't believe for a second Taylor is doing it for her "brand." She seems a bit too invested for the instagram #ad culture. And will she screw up and say something wrong at some point? Probably. Again, she's a white straight actress. But she's also actively listening and amplifying voices of the minority in her position of privilege. God knows if many of us 30-somethings had actresses that were this vocal when we were young and impressionable, we may have been less jaded today.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 21:30I don’t think she should be criticized for speaking passionately about a community she isn’t a part of but she shouldn’t be praised for it either.

At the end of the day, if she picks up a Season 2 script and it tells her that she needs to be intimate with a woman, and she knows how important real representation is for the gay community, she will try that much harder to sell it. Hell, she was selling it way before she was bombarded with the twitter stans. It's a good sign. She's not shying away like MANY MANY other straight actresses who have played gay in the past.

People have asked me that, too, because I’ve played gay characters. Someone legitimately asked me, “Aren’t you afraid of looking gay?” What’s there to be afraid of? I’m aware of who I am and it’s no one else’s business. Two years ago, another actor told me that he had stopped going to the gay pride parade because he was afraid how he would be perceived. So it is rare. It is more rare than you think that people are willing to take on gay roles. source

Re: Motherland: Fort Salem
WTF is this hate-fest here?!
Why are the racist Berthas attacking Taylor Hickson who has been nothing but supportive to the LGBTQ community so far? What for? She has done nothing wrong.
Someone cares and does research, speaks up.
That makes her totally such a fake and bad human. Burn her. Oh, no, the book was on her bed and it took fandom ninjas to decipher what it was about... totally calculated! and her walls were painted white.. it's a sign! /s
Y'all talking like this is the precrime division from the "Minority Report"-movie. How about you spare your hate until TH has actually done something critique-worthy? Usually you do that after a "crime" has been committed. Not before.
Also no one is praising her for it. That's such bullshit. People are however allowed to be happy about someone being in their corner and breaking a lance for them instead of riding armed against them. People are even allowed to like what was said.
Considering how our rights are slowly being eroded nearly everywhere it's of course bad when people promote wlw relationships or stand up for us. Give me a break!
When I compare the MFS Raylla kisses to nearly every other tv show on air they seem genuine and not like fake tv kisses. Both of them are not afraid to touch. There's zero hesitation in their body language which is so fucking rare.
"virtue-signalling / fake ally" Can you use anymore right-wing/alt-right talking points? Or did you hop-in from one of the number-chans? Just stop watching the show or reading about the actors if it's too much.
Just kindly go and distance yourself.
Why are the racist Berthas attacking Taylor Hickson who has been nothing but supportive to the LGBTQ community so far? What for? She has done nothing wrong.
Someone cares and does research, speaks up.

Re: Motherland : Fort Salem
I didn't like that either. Best just to ignore what any actor says off-screen and just enjoy what is on-screen.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 22:40DA i'm gonna have to agree too. Since the whole NB comments I lost interest in anything she says about our community. I mean who is she doing it for, herself, us or just to be liked?
Re: Motherland: Fort Salem
Imagine going to to a thread and hating everything that is involved and talking about it? I just can’t imagine having so much hatred and dislike for something and then going and talking about it?
Anyways, anybody want to post some gifs?

You can't argue based on logic so you go for personal attacks or strawmans.RaelleCollar wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 23:09It's the anon trolls who wouldn't even be posting here if the board went back to being members only.Guest wrote: ↑27 Jul 2020, 23:01WTF is this hate-fest here?!
