Honestly (and I’m going to take the time to say this here) as a queer person I really hope that this backlash somehow reaches Ezra’s ears and that as a whole we get this conversation off of tumblr and on twitter and facebook. That we get it sorted out because he’s going to be with us for a LONG TIME. I mean the guy is literally going to be headling his own film as the Flash in 2020. I want him to apologize for that film and acknowledge that while he’s living up in vermont attending to goat births or posing for photoshoots we’re over here fretting and getting into lengthy internet debates about the merits of his pointless film. Like he could have made a film to celebrate the life of Mike Brown and that mourned the tragedy of a life cut short. Here’s the film if you want to watch it for yourself. trigger warnings for discussion of police brutality, murder, lying (from what I remember I’m pretty sure Mike didn’t attack him? and he certain didn’t have the strength of a hulk?) https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/11/actor-ezra-miller-accused-sympathizing-white-supremacy/
one thing that I hated was that it makes it seem like Wilson’s actor got a little kid voice at the beginning, high and childlike. then they try to make it seem like he’s having a panic attack. like yes he’s acting but they could have given him a coach or something to make it more explicit because you don’t see he’s just rehearsing until the end. They could have juxtaposed his “truth” with the facts of the case which most white people don’t bother themselves with which are an 18 Black unarmed boy was gunned down for a crime he didn’t commit. When evidence like this is still surfacing https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/11/us/michael-brown-ferguson-police-shooting-video.html
Like honestly if we could just get Ezra to say, “hey I’m sorry that film was in poor taste and we tried something but it didn’t work quite how we wanted.” I think that could go a long way. But yeah its not just about transphobia or anti semitism. though if some people are being transphobic like our own mod ro’s post or anti semitic in their anger that’s not cool either.

He doubt he will ever truly apologize. 😒 I won’t be surprised if he tries to scrub it aside or turn it against us like his fans did. 😧
And see like in that case we’ll have proof positive he’s trash and no amount of hand waving and saying, “he had good intentions” will suffice. Like right now his short film is badly done high art. where you can see where the intent was heading but it missed its mark completely.

Yeah, I also disagreed with them about the ezra Miller situation, but there was some posts about it I saw that were very antisemitic and transphobic and when someone else said it was directed by a black activist about how he was a liar I did for a while think it was just antisemitism and transphobia that was motivating the sudden hate. I did more research and saw it wasn’t but if I had posted before I did research I would’ve made the same mistake because I was defensive.
