They keep screaming about lesbian erasure but nothings been erased! It’s just thoughts inside his sweet little head, lol. Irene Adler spent an entire episode throwing herself at Sherlock, so why would it be shocking that she got him?

I just finally watched the whole thing and I have to say that I actually liked JC’s speech! It was intentionally corny and silly but you can felt the playfulness between them. I genuinely laughed aloud when she said he exchanged English classes for levitation lessons with some monks and that it helped him for his future Doctor Strange role! She just took the most extravagant anecdotes in his life and made them sound enduringly silly! I hate the Cumberbitches term because it was abused in the most misogynistic way by the press but she made it sound nice and funny especially when she made fun of the even more cringey Cumberbunnies and she ended saying it was actually all about the acting talent (Of course! Female fans aren’t stupid bitches, press! They really have good taste! Frequently much better taste than men and women just know when something will be big but because they are women they are considered “uncool” and deserving of sneer). I also loved that she paused after every phrase, looked at BC and you could heard that he was laughing! I don’t know, it seemed very lovely to me!
About the chat, I think I would have liked the selection of more “esoteric” productions. Maybe more about his early theatre work and something about working on radio. And the mention of things like Parade’s End (the project that inspired Campion to cast him for Phil Burbank!), TTSS, Wreckers, The Hollow Crown and The Child in Time! I don’t know maybe I’m odd because a lot of my favorites aren’t very popular! I also totally would have asked about his movie with Wes Anderson! He would never talk about the next Doctor Strange so why bothered with it? Just ask about Anderson! He clearly wants to talk about it!

They keep screaming about lesbian erasure but nothings been erased! It’s just thoughts inside his sweet little head, lol. I just saw someone saying that he shouldn’t feel shame of playing a virgin character (of course, no!) or a man who lost his virginity to another man! Have these “fans” actually watched his films? Lol The climax of his awarded last movie for which he is nominated to an Oscar right now is about him confessing to a young man how he precisely lost his virginity to another man! The irony of this is that today I have read a good number of tweets pejoratively calling him homosexual or suggesting he is gay because both the Sam Elliott issue and the Ukrainian flag! You know, because some maybe humble but real activism! Because defending fanfics “parings” is NOT activism! A conservative site published a piece telling their readers to look photos of BC, KSM and SE and deciding who is the “real man” of the three? You can imagine the comments! And a pro-Russian troll straightforwardly called him “a homosexual” below a tweet posting a photo of him with the Ukrainian flag (other two claimed he was supporting Nazis because that’s Putin’s excuse and one claimed he worked for the Mi5. TBF maybe that last one wanted him for the new James Bond movie! 😉)

And Armond White wrote ANOTHER article attacking Campion and TPOTD! I haven’t read it. Nor his review but he again calls her “homophobic and misandrist” in the headline but now he also added “anti-American” and nihilistic meanwhile praises Sam Elliotts talent as film critic! Lol Someone commented he not just got wrong Campion this time but also Elliott! That’s not surprising!

I liked JC’s speech, too. It was sort of like a roast, poking fun at the highlights of his career. And it was all done with love and not meanness.

What on earth?! Yes, horrible! I just saw this one on BC’s hashtag. I hope not to offend anyone but TBH these people deserve to be exposed! There are much more below the OP tweets and other tweets from yesterday promoting the “article”! They are projecting a lot! SE was the one who began with everything and they are the ones trying to “shame” the two TPOTD actors for their physicality! And there are multiple homophobic comments about them out there thanks to their “journalistic” piece. EDITED And I kind of discreetly mentioned it here two day ago but the DM comments below the article with JC quotes about fetichism in the film were received obviously in a very negative way but the most disgusting comments were by transphobic people claiming that JC was actually a trans woman.

Something much nicer, here is the recent Campion’s BAFTA event (the day before the COVID result!),

"The girl with the Adam’s Apple in the middle is missing an ear ring" WTF?! Why? Why be this hateful? The utterly ironic thing is that these are things Phil and his followers would say. These people are just showing the world exactly what toxic masculinity looks like in all its awful forms. And, they are not that clever or witty with their insults, either. Repeat after me: Do. Not. Read. The. Comments. On. The. Internet. Do not read the comments on the internet! It is a cesspool out there!

Not that I want to defend Sam Elliott, but I don’t think he meant anything like this. He was just sounding like a cranky old man whose comfortable wild-west territory was being invaded by outsiders who didn’t belong there. He wasn’t against women directors or gays - he just don’t want them in westerns! It was sexist and homophobic and a dumb thing for him to say, and he must have been drunk to say it, but it’s up to him now to speak up and clear his name. He’s the one who has to separate himself from these horrible things people are saying because of his comments. If he says nothing, then he’s agreeing with them.
