Like with Love Simon, the lead actor was embroiled in controversy because he wasn't gay and I'm just like, it's a mainstream film about a gay person that isn't also a weepy tragedy or a ****ty softcore flick and people are complaining about the actor? When such films are few and far between in the first place?

The whole point of acting is that you embody characters that are different to yourself, it's tiring to see people missing the point purposefully just to chase clout on twitter.

This reminds me of the uproar over Rain man , all of a sudden now people think it's bad & insensitive that Dustin Hoffman played a man with autism .

Actors especially good actors are meant to be able to play any role surely . And Dustin Hoffman was amazing in Rain Man . That's the whole point to put yourself in the characters shoes .
