Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster

  correct, that was an analogy of how an attacker is not a victim, a victim is a victim.

  when someone is attacked, they are the victim.

  The attacker is not a victim because they feel bad or ashamed about attacking the victim.

  The attacker is still the attacker and the victim is still the victim.

    It’s not an attack. It’s a mild retouching of a photo.

      nobody said the photo was an attack.

      you’re getting confused.

      go back and read from the beginning, slowly, and maybe you’ll understand the point this time.

      “It’s a mild retouching of a photo.”

      It’s an erasure of her face and deliberate expression, and that is not as important as all of you criticizing her for expressing herself, for letting people know how she feels.

      she isn’t attacking anyone, like all of you are.

      she isn’t demanding change, like all of you are.

      she is expressing her own feelings, and that makes many of you upset.

      try to figure out why that is.

    there is no attacker. nobody attacked her. She doesn’t like it, sure. But she wasn’t attacked.

      “there is no attacker.”

      you’re still mistaking the analogy for the previous comments.

      “She doesn’t like it, sure.”

      she sure doesn’t.

      “But she wasn’t attacked.”

      Denial of your own creation. cool.

      you sound very confused, but you aren’t asking any questions.

      is there something you need clarified?
