Why would they write that? It’s one of the worst things she has been in other than season 2 of HotD.
She’s insanely great in everything as long as the material isn’t junk.
I just want to see her return on slow horses. Perhaps as a adversary.
- Agree! They’ve foreshadowed her return so much
Oh no, the people paid for their looks are upset at being objectified again. Have you considered that other actors, who do not obsess over their looks as much, aren't often asked to do sex scenes?
- Stupid bich doesn't even understand she could just get ugly and not have to worry about it, am I right?
  She's even worse than those losers complaining about rent. Have they considered that other people who don't obsess over having a home just live unhoused on the street?
  Ridiculous, glad you are here with sanity.
- She didn't say anything specifically about "being objectified" at all. She's talking specifically about sex scenes.
  
  She's complaining about being asked to do the job she agreed to do. Would you read an article about me being uncomfortable with handling heavy pieces of metal as a welder or machinist? No. It's expected of the job. You either do it, or you don't.
  If you don't want to do an intimate scene, say so. Don't complain about being asked. If you feel pressure against saying no, or if you're afraid of discrimination for asserting your opinion, then you have a problem with the job you've agreed to do, not the work.
- Did you even read the article? I had to check your profile to make sure it was worth replying to. You seem like a good dude, but you clearly haven't learned how to empathize.
  This is about setting those contractual boundaries though a coordinator. Some actors are getting flak for holding the directing team accountable to those boundaries. They say "no" and then get labeled a bitch for doing so.
  Maybe read a book from a woman's perspective, or try to understand that life is grey for a lot of people. You clearly have a very black and white understanding of the world.
