I wish a fan-made movie poster was the biggest problem in my life.

[natemarx]

Calling everything racist will harm actual racism. These people are so destructive.

[Mel-bmtu]

Does she not realize she's playing a character. She's playing a witch, not a black woman. The whole point of acting is to ERASE THE ACTOR/ACTRESS TO PORTRAY THE CHARACTER!

[dougmorgan]

“Iconic” is the right word. I was NOT a theater kid, nor am I a Wicked super fan, but that theater poster is iconic, and the movie poster missed that magic.

[beckee]

The real reason for her outburst is because she feels insecure compared to Ariana Grande. She feels overshadowed and like people are ignoring her role in this movie

It’s insecurity, she has no actual reason to be upset. It’s grasping at straws

[jennierubyjanes]

If she didnt want to feel erased, perhaps she should have picked a role that doesnt paint her black skin color as green.

[Megumi.-.]

Everyone makes everything "racist", Im so over it

[adamk]

There’s something viscerally unsettling about seeing someone who makes it to the top of an industry, and then plays the oppressed card.

[margaretsant]

These poor actresses getting lead roles in the most highly anticipated movies of the year. They need all of our sympathies.

[mjw]

I'm so sick of social media, mainstream media, and lunatics.

[DarthVader]

It’s amazing that the entertainment industry has not picked up on the behavior that’s causing them to go bankrupt.

[mrsmaggiekoch]

This is her Racel Ziegler moment. It's not ABOUT you. We don't care about YOU. We care about the iconic character you are playing, and you doing justice TO THEM.

*people in NC and TN lose everything in horrendous flooding*

*actress sees a fan edit*

Actress: “This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me”

[numerablewhom]

When she has no fans left, problem solved.

[Ninja_Tude]

She needs a HEAVY dose of humility.

In the words of the late great ol' white catholic(correction, Anglican) CS Lewis: "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, its thinking of yourself less."

How to sabotage your own movie before release, 101.

[terrys.]

The actress has removed the post on Instagram and has comments turned off. I imagine the response was brutal.

[maniachazbin]

Random artist: *makes official promo poster more like original Broadway*
Cynthia: "This is not cute. This is not progressive. This is not demure."

[JurassicTheory]

This is why I've stopped watching modern theatre, especially Broadway 🎭

[linaa_rin]

the world thinks everything is racist these days. literally you can't have a conversation without being cautious
