It's mean and unfortunate but...racist? How?
Same thing happened to Jennifer Lawrence and she is whiter than white.
Also there was a thing a few weeks ago when Orlando Bloom had pics taken with his tiddler out and everyone was like "OH THAT ORLANDO BLOOM"
For what it's worth, I don't know for sure if the act of leaking Jones's nudes was necessarily motivated by racism. When I first heard the news, I figured the culprit would have chosen her because of that little Twitter shitfest. I can easily see trolls picking a woman of her, ah, notoriety as a prime target.
On the other hand, have any of the other actresses behind the Ghostbusters reboot attracted the same degree of trolling Jones has?
Fair enough. And to clarify, I don't even like Leslie Jones all that much. Going off by the reboot's trailers, she did come across as playing a stereotype, and she does sound like a generally exceptional individual. Again, I'm sorry for that tone-policing earlier.Feig and Jones have attracted the most negative attention to themselves for acting like shitheads and openly insulting or demeaning entire groups of people. The other three Ghostbusters actresses aren't being harassed because they aren't throwing the first stone.
Who in gods name would want to hack her or get her nudes. She's just there to laugh at, she isn't worth the time to hack.
I feel like this is way too suspicious with her chimping out all the time and then suddenly news stories pop up about "racist nude hack" it just seems to slide into place a little tooooo conveniently.
Looking at her address from her driver's license on Google Maps I'm kind of surprised she lives where she lives. Just a random generic mass produced apartment complex over an hour away from where the studios are in LA.
Honestly, part of the reason I "took a break" from this community was because I got sick of the culture here. In the past I may have been willing to let some of that shit slide because I assumed it wasn't serious, and because I didn't want to set off a shitfest. But enough is enough. You can criticize Leslie Jones's behavior and statements all you want, but please leave the racism out of it.
Even if this whole thing was a setup for some type of promotion, nothing's going to come out of it. Stuff like this always happens, people freak out for about a week and then move on to something else. I personally doubt that this was set up, but if it was then Sony's even dumber than I thought.
The impotent white male rage is strong in this thread.
Oh boy I can't wait for the next round of "leslie jones unfairly attacked by sexist white male trolls, dindu nuffin"
