Let me say first that Scarlet Johansson has done some other things that have rubbed me the wrong way. She still wears clothes designed by Harvey Weinstein 's wife. She publicly defends Woody Allen. And her response to this controversy wasn't very fucking endearing. So I think she knows EXACTLY what she's doing and doesn't care. At first I thought the backlash was a bit much, but upon looking into it, it is deserved.

Ok here is my question: would it be better if a cis man played the role? I know it wouldn't be as good as an actual transgender person, but would it be a little more acceptable?

Please understand that this isn't a rhetorical question and I'm not trying to make some clever point.

I'm trying to educate myself.

There is a growing pool of Trans actors and actresses who would be perfect for this role. ScarJo being snippy that people are coming after her for taking this role is classic Becky behavior. No cis people at all - hire Trans performers.

I feel we shouldn't apologize for asking questions. It's not some educate yourself, fool, everyone knows this topic.

Btw, Meryl Streep gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski and some people are still starstruck with her. At the very least Scarlett can just simply dig those clothes, which is far less worse, than clapping a rapist.

Yeah, but I just wanted to make clear that it WAS an actual question. And I didn't apologize.

Dude there's nothing wrong with asking people who feel personally affected by an issue about their thoughts on said issue. I think it's a good thing.

Yeah. I don't agree with their reasoning, but I got my answers, so at least I am aware now.

Oh, so we should give her a pass on causing harm to a marginalized community becase it's not as bad as rape? Wat.

Never said that. Merely grabbed the opportunity to shed some light on a hypocrisy. It's not either or.

Yes, if they insisted on casting a cis actor for the role, it should be a cis man as the character is a man. I'm not saying "they need to cast a trans actor for every trans role ever forever the end" because I know that's just not going to happen right now. If they are going to cast a cis actor, at least cast a fucking man to play the role of a man.
