She had a piece on WaPo yesterday:

The social media mob is a danger to society

Daniella Greenbaum (columnist, writer, etc) has resigned from Business Insider after they took down her piece on the Scarlett Johansson/Trans acting situation.

I'm surprised WaPo let her publish that

Scarlett Johansson Under Fire For Agreeing To Play Giant Sandworm In Upcoming ‘Dune’ Adaptation

“Scarlett really needs to stay in her lane,” said a representative for the Sandworm Actor’s Guild of America. “Until you’ve lived it, you can’t possibly understand what it truly means to live underground generating spice. Back off, girl!”

Loved this part:

...The best way to put bad arguments to bed is to air them out and highlight their weaknesses. Want to eliminate “unsafe” thoughts? Turn them loose in the marketplace of ideas and debate them — don’t try to silence them...

Scarlett Johansson Under Fire For Agreeing To Play Giant Sandworm In Upcoming ‘Dune’ Adaptation

Wow. Until you've lived it you can't play the part? Are they sure they want to stick with that?

Until you've lived it, you can't play a police officer.

Until you've lived it, you can't play a drug dealer.

Until you've lived it, you can't play a hooker.

Until you've lived it, you can't play a **********.

Until you've lived it, you can't play a sane person.

It's time for all the sane people to tell all the insane people to **** all the way off, or at least until it hurts.

Sandworm actors across the country began refusing to generate spice until Johansson agrees to remove herself from the film, sources confirmed at publishing time.

Is there something I need to explain?

Is there something I need to explain?

I think you need to explain to the sandworms that she is, quite simply, acting and then bring up your stated points. You'll probably need a few thumpers to draw them out, though.

As long as she isn't trying to play the Kwisatz Haderach without transmuting the water of life, I'm good. Admittedly, being female, she would be, at best, Bene Gesserit, but she would have some basis, at that point, for playing the Kwisatz Haderach.

Yes. Did you bother the read the article from the Babylon Bee, or even fully read the quote... about sandworms having their own acting guild?

This guy gets it.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Pretty sure he was commenting on the general situation that the story was parodying.

 

[EMDX6043]

Will they be (retroactively) shaming Hilary Swank for her role in that one movie about the gender thing?

Apparently Jetta didin't see much of the twitter reaction. The Babylon Bee is pretty much straddling Poe's law. It's getting that ridiculous.

I saw some of it. But since you quoted me, I could only assume you missed the joke, which I taught was odd for you.

You are so far into nerdom that they're going to have to come up with a new description for nerdom.

Don't forget Linda Hunt in The Year of Living Dangerously. She won Best Supporting Actress for playing a man!

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Apparently Scarlet is dropping out of the movie.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Nobody GLOWS!

This guy gets it.

Badabook badaboom.

An actress won't be playing a role in a movie that I will never watch.

Having said that, the SJW mob can all go jump off a cliff.

FIFY - it was only one year.
