Saying this means you fundamentally misunderstand the complaints being made, because in this case the quality of the film itself is completely irrelevant. https://twitter.com/Sia/status/1329737397190451201
Way to show your entire ass for no reason.
I don't understand the Liberal mindset where they're like "Well, the casting might've been exceedingly shitty, but once you see the movie you'll change your mind!"
That's not how any of this works.

It's like talking to a whiny brick wall.
Just fucking ONCE I'd like a celebrity that fucks up in this way to just UNDERSTAND the complaints.
"I fucked up and I'm sorry, but the movie's already made. I'll do better next time"
Instead of "BUT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT"

Belongs in diapers indeed.
Say for a moment that the movie was made by grinding up orphans & using the resulting slurry to feed the cast.
We can all agree that that would be shitty REGARDLESS of the quality of the movie itself?
Okay, so we're just bargaining on where the line is, ie THE ACTUAL ARGUMENT

To say "But you haven't even seen it yet" means that you don't think you crossed a line, and like yeah, we know! That's the whole fucking issue!
I think my biggest pet peeve with online arguments is when one party puts up this pointless smoke screen that no one is fooled by. You are not engaging with anything being said. You're simply going "What in the world could that be???" while pointing and hoping we fall for it.
And granted, I get that there's really nowhere else to go debate-wise once we say "Casting an NT actor in a nonverbal autistic role is shitty" and she says "I disagree," but I just wish she displayed some understanding of that being what's happening here, you know?
It's a bit like arguing with transphobes. A transphobe fundamentally believes I CANNOT be a woman, so really no debate with them can GET us anywhere. But we can't just let them be because real damage can be done by them. It's infuriating.
The problem goes SO FUCKING DEEP too because Sia clearly doesn't see autistic people as actual fucking PEOPLE. Like even if we could force her to recast this movie, her fundamental beliefs about us would likely lead to more horrific problems. https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/status/1329762903495495681
