‘Acolyte’ Actress Whines About Disney Not Protecting Her from Racism

glamor The magazine chose Jodie Turner-Smith (I don't know who she is) as its “Woman of the Year,'' but this Woman of the Year said she was a victim of racism. , claims Disney did nothing to protect her from racism.

Apparently, Turner-Smith was starring in a Disney+ streaming series acolyteanother stupid and very woke person star wars The streaming series that everyone hated. This was so bad that it was practically canceled before the credits of the first season finale had even finished rolling.

Anyway, without presenting any evidence (and you can bet) glamor (didn't ask for anything), it was allegedly all about racism…

“The show was reportedly randomly canceled due to low ratings.” I will write Glamourr, as if there were any other reason. “[I]In the weeks leading up to the season finale, the cast faced a barrage of relentless racist abuse online from so-called fans who couldn't stand the black actors in the lead roles. star wars series. “

You know, this is why Hollywood is dying creatively and financially. Rather than blaming the show's failure on not giving fans what they wanted, they blame Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Eddie Murphy, Prince, Michael Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, and Michael Jordan. Even in the country where he was born, fans are accusing him of being racist. , Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Tina Turner, and Barack Obama superstars.

Heck, a black woman might become the next president.

“[Disney has] We have to stop this act of not saying anything while people are heaping racism and bullshit on the internet.'' Turner-Smith says Disney Grooming Syndicate allegedly failed to respond to protest talked about it. acolyte People I hate. “It's unfair not to say anything. It's really unfair.”

“I wish I could do that. [studios] They had all the money, they were showing support, they were putting their foot down,” she whined. “This is unacceptable, let's say, 'If you do this, you're not a fan.'”

“Make a really big statement and see if there's any money left over. It's not going to happen, because people of color, especially Black people, have a very large share of the purchasing power,” she continued. Ta. “People use the word 'woke' like it's a dirty word, even though they may realize it's actually more profitable for them.”

picture?

what is she talking about?

She's right that “black people have a very large percentage of purchasing power,” but that only proves my point. acolyte It had nothing to do with race. After all, if only half of black Americans watched acolytewould have been a hit.

It's too bad the movie was so bad that no one cared that Halle Berry (a black woman) was cast in the role of Catwoman. why? I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't want to see Halle Berry as Catwoman? Sixty years ago, when Eartha Kitt (a black woman) played Catwoman in a movie, no one cared. batman TV series. why? Because who in their right mind wouldn't want to see Eartha Kitt become Catwoman?

Turner-Smith believes that the word “woke” is not a dirty word, but it is nonetheless a dirty word. “Awakening” taints everything with aggressive actions rather than merit. No one blinked at the idea of ​​Halle Berry and Eartha Kitt becoming Catwoman because no one said to Batman fans: diversity must be respected. Instead, two superstars who had already won public acclaim took over roles that seemed perfect. period. But when you say this is “woke,” people, including black people, reject it. Because we are hardwired to reject anything that is imposed on us that has no merit.

Like trash acolyte Movies starring white people also failed for the same reason. Joker: Folie à deux This weekend was a huge failure. Even if we don't give the fans what they want, they have plenty of other options.
