He worked on a movie? Thought he had only written his impressions in a blog. How do you know that?Tom had been working on a documentary about South Sudan. It had a name a director etc. He visited the country a number of times. Then the “white savior” thing began to spread (not just GG, but in general) and it was obvious that a documentary produced and narrated by a privileged white Englishman would not fly in the current climate. He had put a lot of energy and money into it, so he must have been disappointed- especially since most people in the western world couldn’t tell you where South Sudan is or that it is another country from Sudan. So I think his hesitation might be connected with this. When he posted about BLM in 2020, he was careful not to say anything personally- only to amplify and repost black people’s words. He might be able to do this again, but he also probably knew that when Zawe was posting at the same time she was getting a lot of hate in the comments (since deleted). I’m not sure this is why he is reluctant to use SM, but these things probably played into it.
I know someone who is probably considered C list in the UK, paid to promote a certain diet drink. She's seen carrying it when out (I laugh), promotes it on social media etc and she can't stand it. But as she says the money from that pays her car payments every month.So, when is the next paparazzi stroll? Or we are waiting for TES to start airing?
Too bad he didn't use Comic Con excuse to return to social media. Even reposting Sophia's photo would be well accepted.
I second to this. At least from my experience. Surely, it is not Hollywood here.
However, there is other side to it. Celebrities will deny doing cosmetic surgery even it is obvious they did. Also, they will promote the worst garbage product if they are paid to do so. Stories in gossip magazines are selling issues but also 'selling' the celebrity. It is fake world in which it is hard to distinguish what is real and what's not.
Sorry for double post. I found Clara's comment interesting.

It's unfortunate that people can't just do good things, regardless of any sort of label. I remember getting into an argument with a friend who said in history white people weren't slaves. Not only did I prove her wrong I showed her an article printed in a newspaper nearly 100 years ago about families moving away from the SW corner of the UK due to people being snatched and sold into slavery. My point is anyone should be allowed to help another human being and yes I've seen negativity against Zawe and Zoe Saldana for their charity work. Sorry but if a celeb chooses to promote a cause and help why not?
You can get an idea of the arguments against white saviors here. They specifically mention both celebrities using their SM and UNICEF. But yeah it is a “thing”. I remember Ed Sheehan being called out for white saviorism.
There is a huge problem with 'performance activism' in the West- people who protest things so they can say they are socially aware on Social media but then don't do anything to help solve those issues themselves- pull down statues to slave owners from a hundred years ago but don't know anything about modern slavery and don't question how they can get their nails done for £3 or who is smuggling their line of Coke onto their dinner table. Or go on climate change marches, dump their litter everywhere and then decide to go skiing and backpack their way round the Far East. Its all part of that. $3 a day can make a massive difference to reducing infant mortality in the poorest countries. I think they would rather have clean running water than worry about White Saviors.@Jara many of the bullets you've highlighted in your post are accurate for us too! We ain't the best country in the world, specially when it comes to adoption laws.
I was talking about that subject with a friend the other day and, even if we are a very multicultural country, I dare to say that 50% of the population is European descend after WWII, we still got issues. If I were to pin point where we struggle the most would be transphobia despite the fact that we were the 1st country in Latin America to become LGBTQ+ friendly.
Sorry that I brought up my social activism to the forum a little bit too strong, this is what happens when LMR gets carried away with passion-driven subjects!
WHERE IS THE RED SWEATER WE GOT PROMISED (???)
Well that's utter bullshit if you ask me! I do understand what you are saying, don't get me wrong. I just hate the fact that some people feel that way and projects like his get canned due to that concept.
Exactly, people see social activism a lot of times as an act to make themselves look better and improve their image, but many of these celebs actually do so much good. I’m actually of the mindset that if they are doing it for their image and still getting good work done, then who cares? As long as it’s helping who cares if they benefit. But some people really just long to attack Hollywood and today’s culture is so sensitive about every little thing it’s so easy to cast judgment on people.There is a huge problem with 'performance activism' in the West- people who protest things so they can say they are socially aware on Social media but then don't do anything to help solve those issues themselves- pull down statues to slave owners from a hundred years ago but don't know anything about modern slavery and don't question how they can get their nails done for £3 or who is smuggling their line of Coke onto their dinner table.

Though it was a HUGE factor, I think that some other things may have happen in his personal life....also do truly believe that the Taylor Swift thing didn’t help- once that happened people got it in their heads that he wasn’t above doing things for his image so all of his good work became one more PR move to benefit himself in their eyes.
I want him to be nominated for everything just so we can see him! The tony’s were such a nice change of pace- I heard he might be nominated for SAG and I’m hoping he’ll be nominated for TES as well.Tom and Loki are nominated for People´s choice awards.....it is not an Emmy (yet!) but you can vote here personally so I suspect he may have a decent chance. Also, if there is a live show, Tom could appear

This come first in my mind, Wanda vs Loki. That could be really interestingIt will be interesting to see who will do better, Loki or WandaVision. A lot of non MCU fans liked WandaVision. Fingers crossed for Loki of course.
But why they want my Email address for voteting
I didn't even watch WandaVision whoopsIt will be interesting to see who will do better, Loki or WandaVision. A lot of non MCU fans liked WandaVision. Fingers crossed for Loki of course.
This is what I need in my life. All day, every day!I want him to be nominated for everything just so we can see him! The tony’s were such a nice change of pace- I heard he might be nominated for SAG and I’m hoping he’ll be nominated for TES as well.
I really just want an excuse to see him in a suit WITHOUT the damn sweater underneath.
This is what I need:

It's normal for these type of online votiong!But why they want my Email address for voteting
Probably not but if he is not filming, he can make an appearance!!!! I don't think Sophia could attend, considering this award is in December and she is super preggo and maybe due by then?I am afraid WandaVision and Loki could split the vote. But I still think Loki is more popular even among regular viewers. And it is more recent.
Is this the one where the nominated know results ahead so they can attend?
No, no airline will take her with them more pregnantI didn't even watch WandaVision whoops
This is what I need in my life. All day, every day!
