[social...justice?] on the one hand, the man in my POTO group who thinks women wanting to play the Phantom are gross. On the other, the castmate complaining about stereotypes that don't exist...

pats ur shoulder.

both sides are absolutely not equal. however, aggravating people can be found everywhere in any group.

I am sorry you are fielding both these individuals
Luke Skywanker
no, one I have to listen to. but it's frustrating, though I know that makes me a whiny white girl.
Lady Stardust
hey
Lady Stardust
we're white girls doing our fucking best
Lady Stardust
you absolutely should interrogate your own opnions and check for privilege, and I'm p sure your plurk peeps don't have an issue with you doing it aloud
Luke Skywanker
She's mad that she is white on the poster. She's R2D2.
Luke Skywanker
thanks. I don't feel I can say this anywhere else. I feel bad even thinking it.
Luke Skywanker
But I'm ok being checked. I want to be checked! I check myself a lot. But this girl...
Lady Stardust
she's probably very young

Make her blue. See how she feels about that.

I think the POTO post got deleted. I got a notif of a reply and when I went to look, couldn't find it. :c
Luke Skywanker
ANYWAY the OP said, basically, "I'm sorry if this is sexist, but I'm disgusted by all the people saying the want a woman Phantom. It would ruin the whoel storyline! Then you'd have to have an opposite-gender Carlotta, Raoul, etc"
Luke Skywanker
So I said, "Yes, it's sexist, and I don't think you're sorry. But not a single review I've gotten while playing Sherlock Holmes, Captain Kirk, or Luke Skywalker on stage mentioned my gender altering the storyline at all."
Luke Skywanker
"IT'S CALLED ACTING"
Farm Goblin
also, why would you have to genderswap other characters too
Farm Goblin
lesbians exist
Luke Skywanker
nope
Luke Skywanker
not for this bro
Luke Skywanker
Yeah I'm kinda mad it got bahleeted
Luke Skywanker
Like, it was dumb, but if we just ignore the dumb it festers, right? Then again, if we water it, it also festers. IDK.
Farm Goblin
sometimes watering flushes things out
Farm Goblin
like an abcess
Farm Goblin
just flush that fucker out
Luke Skywanker
Oh, I know. The misogyny dude doesn't really bother me. It's the having to try to anticipate giving offense that I can't even decipher after the fact that's difficult.
Luke Skywanker
ugh she's upset that one character is too stereotypical and she's mad because her eyes aren't Asian enough but...
Luke Skywanker
I just...
