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.

    " I disagree with your premise that anything about this is dehumanizing."

    phew, good thing that’s not my premise.

    “you’re some rando on the Internet”

    … says you, the rando on the internet.

    “your condemnation means nothing to me, and likely nothing to anyone else.”

    oh, sure, that’s where the energy comes from for dozens of vitriolic commenters to furiously scribble all of these responses for 48 hours straight so far.

    from how much none of you care.

    “I’m here to have meaningless exchanges with you and nothing else.”

    then I wonder why you keep declaring strong, consistent opinions based on personal values?

    “meaningless exchanges”

    you’re vehemently expressing your personal feelings and ideas in an extended conversation that you are personally perpetuating.

    seems pretty meaningful to you.

      Vehemently expressing opinions 😆. I love it. You just keep on sending me these walls of text about how I’m really, deep down, invested in this topic and conversation. Ahh, never change, you crazy rascal!

        you’re cowering behind false quotations again.

        look how dedicated you are at proving you don’t care.

        “I’m really, deep down, invested in this topic”

        I can tell, sport.

          Please, continue to project what I should be thinking and saying. I don’t even have to do anything here; you’re essentially arguing with a straw man. Keep it up, you’re doing great!

            you should keep trying out those irrelevant buzzwords until you get lucky and use one of them correctly.

            “I don’t even have to do anything here”

            If you didn’t, you would be having roughly the same effect you are now while struggling.

              I have no idea what your nonsensical post is even saying. You’ve gone so far into the weeds of trying to attack me you’re not making sense. Wanna take another stab at it?

                “I have no idea what your nonsensical post is even saying”

                you have been confused since you attempted your first response.

                Don’t worry about it.

                “you’re not making sens”

                or you’re still confused about very simple, direct concepts.

                  Nah, I’m not confused about direct concepts. Still waiting for you to make one that is rational, though. Feel free to continue making insane rants and propping up strawmen though.

                  Like I said, I’ll keep responding until you’re done. Keep going as long as you like.

                    “I’m not confused about direct concepts”

                    …proceeds to explain that you don’t understand direct concepts

                    “waiting for you to make one that is rational”

                    which concepts are confusing you?

                    smiling doesn’t seem as difficult as as you’re making it out to be.

                    neither is having feelings, which apparently outrages and perplexes you.

                    any other brain busters you can’t wrap your mind around?
