Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.
Original Broadway Poster:
Movie poster:
Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen
“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”
So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.
Imagine there was a live action Bleach remake where the actor bullied their way into having Ichigo’s sword green and freaked out at fans when they edited it to make it look right. Then your dumbass comes in acting like everyone is wrong and the remake isn’t actual garbage.
It’s like you don’t have a single gram of artistic vision or social awareness behind your eyes.
what a terribly irrelevant analogy you’ve left on the floor:
“Imagine there was a live action Bleach remake where the actor bullied their way into having Ichigo’s sword green and freaked out at fans when they edited it to make it look right”
completely unrelated to the current situation.
Cynthia hasn’t even asked the fan to revert their art.
not at all the same thing.
your actor is a bullying asshole demanding people do what they say and change the art direction of the production according to their preferences.
Cynthia has been erased from the official art of her production and would like people to know that being erased from art featuring her is offensive and hurts her feelings.
she is not making demands, she is expressing her valid feelings.
It’s selfish, shameful and offensive for anyone, including you, to disrespect and dismiss the feelings of others.
Are you completely retarded? She’s an actress. She’s supposed to portray the artwork, not herself. She’s the bullying asshole trying to self insert.
“Are you completely retarded?”
no.
“She’s an actress.”
yes.
“She’s supposed to portray the artwork, not herself.”
so there’s no difference between any actor? Ian mckellen was just chosen randomly off the street with no regard for his experience, look or ability to act?
that is an objectively false understanding of how acting works.
“She’s the bullying asshole trying to self insert.”
projecting much?
she is not bullying anyone.
Cynthia is expressing how she feels in reaction to being erased from official artwork of her production featuring her.
half of her face, most of her hair was erased from that poster.
she’s not even demanding the poster be changed, she is letting people know how being erased makes her feel.
it makes her feel very bad.
you are dehumanizing her and disrespecting her feelings, that she, as a human, is entitled to.
you are the bully.
