I’m aware of the url mishap with the dolls and vaguely aware of the poster controversy but I’ve also seen people online call it a PR disaster and I’m entirely out of the loop on that

Here’s an opinionated article on the subject that includes a copy of the modified image contrasting it to the original (and also the poster for the musical), https://worthitorwoke.com/wicked-star-cynthia-erivos-reaction-to-a-fan-made-poster-is-everything-wrong-with-celebrity-entitlement/
What the fuck is wrong with that article author? The blanket admonishment of celebrities hides the lack of critical thinking or analysis the author was required to do for the story. Such lazy “news” is just a polarization vector to hate on celebrities and is not worth the time or energy to read.
The site has a clear mission of “fighting the woke.” It’s main purpose is to rank movies and games on a scale from “Woke👹” to “Based😊” so that users don’t have to be triggered by wokeism. So yeah, I wouldn’t expect high quality reporting.
Do I need adblock for tinfoil hats now?
It’s never a bad idea.
Did you expect a decent take on a site called “Worth it or Woke”?
The article really did the line up of the three posters so well though …
But I am certainly troubled by those attacking the actress online for having these feelings. That’s not right.
I’m similarly troubled and am observing an ever growing inclination towards this kind of behavior, like also everywhere irl.
The way US is going there is going to be a lot of that… plebs are restless while regime and their whores are tone deaf.
People realize that these celebs are trash humans and are regime whores… why should working class feel any other way about them esp when they show their ass like this?
yep, that sort of manipulative dog-whistling is the sanitized version of what I’ve seen online.
they make it all cynthia’s fault, and blame her for being too “woke” and “virtue-signaling”.
she’s a public figure, and so she apparently must accept any and all criticism and is not allowed to share her own feelings.
you can read more honestly offensive anf virulent versions of those criticisms floating around on social media.
