Didn’t the crazy people say that only gay actors can play gay parts.

[RedHood-KA]

Aren't these people supposed to be the tolerant ones?

[Ability-King-KK]

Joaquin Phoenix made the right call. Being in that movie would have ended his career because of how hard it would have bombed. NO ONE wants to go see a movie like that.

[drunklink]

He should say I'm not gay and in order to represent this character you need a gay actor. Use their crazy against them.

[glidershower]

_>There's no agenda in Ba Sing Se_

[kiga]

He's not doing it, they're mad. If he did it, they'd be mad.

[spiderleenie]

And if he had stayed on the project, the same weirdos complaining now would have been complaining about how he's "taking" a role away from a gay actor.

You just can't win with these stupid people.

[VladMcCain]

The Joker is a villain.
What part of that do they not understand?
He was violent back in the original comics. And when they added Hailey he treated her as a slightly useful minion.

Now for Phoenix, he doesn't have to do any movie he doesn't feel comfortable doing. A contract might change that. But if there isn't one, there's no reason for him to go do it. If he backed out from the contract it, it could have been for any reason or reasons he's not required to tell the public why.

[ianhowe]

If he HAD done it, they’d say he was stealing a role from an LGBTQIIA (blah blah blah-ampersand) performer. There’s no winning.

[Xemnin]

Nobody was going to go see it anyway. This just saves further losses.

[darcichambers]

No actor should have to play a part that they feel uncomfortable with. It doesn't matter the reason.

[Leshil]

The 1% trying to tell the 99% what they should like or dislike or how to live.

[MrLucasrn]

so let me get this straight, to the woke mob, little people cant play dwarves in a fairy tale because it's deamning... but they want a straight man to play gay? why dont they hire gay actors then?

[emberfist]

My guess given that Phoenix was the one who brought it to them was that someone in an executive role made changes Phoenix didn’t like and he didn’t want to participate anymore.

[hexenhammer]

Hollywood isn't mad he quit a gay movie.
Hollywood is mad its costing them money.

[Unapologeticweeb]

People forget he is a method actor i can understand that sometimes especially with method acting people don't want to go trough with it especially with issues like sexuality

[Vynne-jger]

Respect to Joaquin for that. Most Hollywood actors would do anything for that gay role.

[Kemot]

He probably finally got to read the script, asked if this is a joke, realised that they are serious and, seeing the writing on wall, made his exit.

[IndenturedYoutubeSlave]

As a experienced actor with years of cinema industry and he made this decision knowing the out come but still found it to be the best option.

[Ashkihyena]

If he doesn’t want to do it then he shouldn’t be forced to.

Sorry TwitTards, I’m sure if it was the other way around you’d agree with the actor quitting.

And yes, the original Joker movie nonsense was dumb AF.
