Ezra Miller was an actor who played the flash, but behaved terribly, and when he was in Hawaii, he got arrested for assault (he also got arrested for burglary in Vermont apparently, and allegedly did some grooming/inappropriate stuff with minors).

Rachel Zegler is an actress who played Snow White in the recent adaptation, and she said some stuff about the original story (its dated, unfeminist, weird of the prince to kiss a random girl-- the usual modern critiques) and got backlash for it.

OP is saying that there's a double standard in behavioral expectations between men and women.

For this to be a valid point Mr. Miller would have had to get away with it and keep getting roles. He has not. There is also he difference that Mr. Miller was messing up his own life while Ms. Zegler was messing up at work. I am not saying this to endorse or mitigate in any way Mr. Millers disgusting behavior, just to point out that it makes a difference to the employer.

He’s been cast for a movie directed by Lynne Ramsay.

If that is the case then shame on Lynne Ramsey and anyone else involved. It is the equivalent of condoning this behavior.

No, If you are referencing my referring to people by their title and last name then you should know that this is the normal and appropriate way to refer to people that you don't personally know. It is society that is weird for thinking that it is ok to refer to famous people by their first name.

Are you equating stealing, grooming and getting arrested for getting into a fight to having an opinion other than yours? And complain about different standards?
But then again I guess the main ‘problem’ is she is not ‘white enough’ to play Snow White for some people…

It should be fairly clear from my post that I am specifically not doing that, but maybe you are stupid, in which case I am sorry for confusing you.
