| Why is this story extraordinary? How is it different from Celia Rose Gooding announcing she's not returning a few days ago? | |

| Genuinely asking here (old white man trying to understand); Is it because Cipriano is calling out the alleged mistreatment even though he doesn't specifically say he was a victim of such behavior? Is it because he is not trans (at least I don't believe so - his Twitter pronouns are he/him) and yet seems to suggest he's leaving partly in solidarity with those who are? You say you can't think of another situation like it, but I guess I don't see how this is more extraordinary than what Gooding did just this weekend. For that matter, I'm confused about that as well, since Gooding was always planning to leave – it was announced back in May that she'll be playing young Uhura in the new Star Trek series "Strange New Worlds"... and actually, Cipriano is the star of a new TV series himself, called Safehaven, produced by Michael Bay's company, that's in pre-production about to begin filming according to IMDB. I'm not implying that either of these performers are using the situation to break contract and film their TV series – presumably, their contracts were invalidated by the shutdown. And regardless, Nora Schell's story is horrifying, just as we know the situation with this show and trans performers is troubling, as Lauren Patten acknowledged during her acceptance speech last night and as the production has hired an outside investigator to help uncover what all has happened... but since Patten herself and most of the other principals are staying, and since the two people leaving both have major TV jobs lined up, it doesn't seem exactly seem right to imply there's some mass exodus out of principle. I could be mistaken, however. |
