Same bad actors as in QDrops so it might all be connected.

One thing I learned about existing online while being a [queer and fat] highly visible BW:
Some folx just wanna fight. That's really it. Some folx wanna fight and they see you as the perfect punching bag.

@ReignOfApril tweeted about how Trans rep is part of the #OscarsSoWhite conversation & should be taken just as seriously & certain Trans folx (guess that color) spun it as her centering herself & got mad when she said she would step back...like they asked.

So.... about this. 😒 #OscarsSoWhite twitter.com/i/moments/9449…
I invite you to read all of @rebel19’s thread below because she nails it, as always. I also agree with @jes_chastain’s point that the onus is on Hollywood to make more films with WOC leads. HOWEVER. #OscarsSoWhite
I believe that @jes_chastain, the other women in this photo, and lead actors & actresses generally underestimate their power. Both in film and ESPECIALLY w/ media outlets like the @latimes. #OscarsSoWhite
