Actor Mark Ruffalo — an outspoken progressive — had the audacity to cast a “cisgender male,” Matt Bomer, to play a transgender woman in the forthcoming film Anything. Angry that he did not use his position as an executive producer to indulge their every whim, transgender activists attacked Ruffalo on Twitter and beyond. Cowed, Ruffalo responded to the backlash with a series of apologetic tweets. “To the Trans community. I hear you,” he wrote. “It’s wrenching to see you in this pain. I am glad we are having this conversation. It’s time.” Not all of Ruffalo’s critics were satisfied by his attempts at reconciliation. Indeed, some of them are demanding that he recast Bomer’s role and give the part to a transgender female actress in order to prove his sincere regret.

Yo wtb a Bernie onesie?
Matthew Foster
Do these idiots consider that the role might be for a tranny who is only just starting to transition, and hence no established trans actresses are going to be appropriate?
Nicholas Rivera
I mm ashamed I grew up in the same city as Ruffalo
Caleb Barnes
no because that would require actual thinking
Carter James
>implying any trannies avoid suicide long enough to become decent actors
Elijah Collins
What a cuck.
Jeremiah Howard
>it's a "Cred Forums bashes 'SJWs' while simultaneously bitching about an American playing a Japanese character in the latest anime adaptation" episode They have every right to be upset. You don't cast an actor that doesn't fit the role. You hypocrites are so predictable.
Christian Gray
they are the living, breathing version of being giving an inch and demanding a mile
when will these cucked ass retards learn they aren't their friends, they don't like them, and they'll never ever be on equal footing because they're the very people they hate, only it's okay because they burying their heads so far down in the sand they think catering is the solution when they couldn't be further from the truth
i hope ruffalo necks himself and leaves a note saying I TRIED MY BEST
Camden Davis
lovely bit of bait
You're so good you should move over to /po/ and bait there. It's a lot harder but you're in the big leagues now.
Charles Evans
sometimes i wonder if in the future plastic surgery and gender reassignment will be so good that men will mistake other men for women only to find out later they arent actual women
i wonder if the suicide rate will go up, after tons of men get rejecteed by other men thinking theyre women or women who pretending to be men trying to get with women
i wonder if there will be some sort of quick blood test you can give a person to find out instantly what gender they were born as so you can root out all the weirdo transgender people
Hunter Bennett
The term "transgendered woman" or "transgendered man" always confuse me. When I read "transgendered woman" I think of a woman trying to become a man, but I think the term means the opposite.
Angel Nelson
What exactly would be your reason for not giving the role to a trans actor?
Mason Williams
Do these idiots consider that acting by nature is "pretending to be something you're not"?
SJW's are legitimately the most stupid individuals to date.
Carter James
Yeah that's why I just call everyone human
Joseph Jackson
Will kill themselves halfway through production. Not in a cool Paul Walker/Heath Ledger way that makes money either.
Luis Harris

Gavin Thompson
>“It’s wrenching to see you in this pain. I am glad we are having this conversation. It’s time.” Yes. It's time for my career to be ended by the sjw's.
Joshua Baker
not being fit for the job
i.e. having an actual ability to act, instead of just casting them because they are the role
sort of like hiring a google over someone more qualified to fulfill the diversity quota, and complaining the work is subpar because you decided to go with the underqualified guy to satisfy some retarded sense of guilt, or company policy
Michael Murphy
>The term "transgendered woman" or "transgendered man" always confuse me. When you read it, just realise in your mind that they are going to kill themselves and devote no further energies to the matter. Hope that helps!
Anthony Rogers
The male actor did a better reading and the character doesn't 100% necessitate a trans actor so why not give it to whoever plays the role best
Wyatt Thomas
I don't think we're that far from shit like this and The Danish Girl being held in the same regard as The Jazz Singer, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Short Circuit 2. It doesn't make any sense for a man to play a transgender woman.
Isaiah Anderson
Didn't South park just have an episode over this shit?
Brody Walker
How do you know who would play it better if one of the two options isn't given the chance to play the part? How many transgender actors have ever gotten the part in a studio film, ever?
Ryder Johnson
Here's a better question: How many transgender characters in studio films have ever been played by a trans actor? And how many non-white roles have gone to white actors? LGBT roles to hetero actors, etc, etc.
Daniel Harris
can you name one trans actor at all, without needing google? one that wasn't in all the degenerate porn you like watching?
Brayden Green
they had one years ago where Kyle becomes a tall black guy and his dad becomes a dolphin and it ends with the Doctor saying yeah you might look like that but it doesn't make you that.
Jayden Hernandez
guys I thought race and sex didn't matter all that mattered was how good the person could act
Jeremiah Smith
They protested a fiction writer for saying she should be able to write a book featuring black characters. It's not just pretending to be someone black, if you imagine a black person you are racist.
Hunter Sanchez

Jacob Myers
They pulled the same shit with Jared Leto and nobody cared. If anything trannies are overrepresented in media. They make up less than half a percent of the U.S. population. Many of them are druggies but that gets glossed over.
Wyatt Jones
He hired an actor to act????
CRUCIFY HIM IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS

Ryder Garcia
This Odd how when a black man or woman is cast for the role of a white character it's progressive because "the actor's talent is what matters." Yet, with SJW's it'd literally worse than the holocaust to do the same for a trans character, despite their inability to provide 1 even decent trans actor.
Then again, that would imply that these delusional faggots are ignorant to their own hypocrisy, which clearly isn't the case. Ever.
Jack Scott
>Ruffalo
This is the guy who said "we have to get millionaires and billionaires out of politics" while speaking on behalf of a political organization funded by a billionaire for the purpose of electing a bunch of millionaire by raising campaign funds from other billionaires and millionaires. He's a jackass.
Blake Clark
>Odd how when a black man or woman is cast for the role of a white character it's progressive because "the actor's talent is what matters."
Or when an entire cast is specifically made non-white (except for the villain, of course, who is a white man), it's "a conversation about privilege in America". Never mind the fact that the actors are playing historical figures who were actually white.
Dylan Thompson
>Ruffalo apologized Fuck him then. You deserve what you get. You never, I repeat, NEVER apologize to sjws. What do you think you're just gonna apologize and they will go away? Haha Mark, you sweet summer child. They smell blood now and you will now be a hostage of the LGBTQ community and they will let you know when they are finished with you.
Jose Gutierrez
i'm not in any way a 'progressive', but why the fuck are these virtue signaling idiots too cowardly to do the bare fucking minimum.
If, for whatever reason, I was a showrunner or movie director and there was a trans character, or a fucking dwarf, or 'ugly' person, or tall person, or guy from India - I wouldn't hire someone who wasn't any of those things to portray that character.
I found it weird and stupid in Short Circuit, why the fuck would I find it acceptable when it comes to trans people?
Then again, it's a such a clusterfuck of nuance in some cases: why weren't the hobbits in lord of the rings portrayed by people with dwarfism? Is that good/bad? Probably doesn't matter.
But I would hire a trans actor to play a trans character and I'm not a fucking koolaid-drinking feminist sjw lunatic. Why do their 'allies' always fail to do what any decent person who doesn't even believe in their bullshit would?
James Murphy
even a fucking nazi would have the jew character not be played by a german with a prosthetic nose and yarmulke - birth of a fucking nation had actual black actors instead of guys in blackface.
I get that there aren't very many trans people on earth to begin with, but still it can't be that hard to find them in fucking hollywood.

It's called acting.
Jack Jackson
>“It’s wrenching to see you in this pain. I am glad we are having this conversation. It’s time.”
Why did he say any of this if he doesn't intend on recasting with a transgender? >you're right it's time >but I won't do anything about it lol
Gavin Gonzalez
They can't even play the role of man/woman
Cameron Baker
Only the privileged white ones.
Nicholas Torres
Anyone else notice a foaming hate from these creeps whenever an attractive hetero male/female does anything ? You can see this with Jessica Biel for example, red headed landwhales femz hate her for no other reason than she is proper sexy.

They're not opressed enough anymore.

Justin Allen
Ever since gay marriage was legalized gay men (especially white gay men) are now seen as 'dangerous' as straight white men. The SJWs moved on to their next pet project which is the trannies.
Mason Gomez
While there is some animosity in the queer community towards cisgender gay men because they sort of domineered the gay rights movement for many years, sidelining trans issues almost entirely (and even bi & lesbian issues, to some extent), that's not really the point. The point is that when you, almost as a matter of course, never cast transwomen, or transmen, in trans roles, you effectively marginalize trans people even as you're trying to highlight them. It's like when Jon Stewart did his film, Rosewater, and cast a Mexican actor as the Iranian-American main character.
Caleb Howard

Evan Howard
So you would cast a mentally ill man that has emotional problems, delusions and a high risk of offing himself as the main character of your multi million dollar hollywood movie? Yeah, I think no studio, investor or even just insurance company would be on board with that.
Cooper Wright
These people are nihilist, and the very nature of Cred Forums is nihilism, therefore it is pointless to argue anything that would require a measure of sympathy--hell empathy is even tough, as Cred Forums hates itself.
Just go about your business and remember that Cred Forums is an extension of Cred Forums.
Camden Cook
Shut the fuck up pol, being trans isnt wrong and your bigotry us shitting up our site.
Thomas Hughes
>Indeed, some of them are demanding that he recast Bomer’s role and give the part to a transgender female actress in order to prove his sincere regret.
He should hire a black woman to troll them.
"With how Hollywood has been lately regarding race issues, I decided it would be far more inclusive to hire a woman of color for the role instead. I see no reason whatsoever why anyone would disagree with this decision."
Dominic Ramirez

Why not hire a woman?
Isn't the point of transgenders that they're trying to be the other sex?
