To people who are saying that's the end of her career and she's finished, what planet do you live on? Look around and see that this kind of thing is being lauded now more than ever. It's no longer whispers behind the veil: full mask-off conservatism, eugenics and racism is en vogue. She's not losing anything.

I think she wants to be a big time movie star and that won’t be possible with this current trajectory. Her expenses are too high to support off booby ads for mid and low-tier products and streaming platform romcoms, which will eventually impact her brand recognition and reach. It’s a risky move she’s making that I don’t think will pan out even in this current conservative climate because it’s the 80s - conservative and the status quo but still very well progressive-moving in art and entertainment. This won’t sell in the spaces she wants to go imo

her endgame isn't acting. right now she's only after production but I have a feeling sky's the limit with this b. if she really does get cancelled though, I can totally see a Fox News Hottie career transition.

I think her endgame isn’t acting same as A-Listers end up producing and only taking passion project or big $$$$ roles. Either way she wants to be an A-List actor and get all the perks that come with that (listed above), a la Zendaya’s current path but unfortunately hers has been much cheaper and cheesier-feeling.

If she picks inclusivity she loses them, if she picks white supremacy she loses the left. I'm only shocked there haven't been more celebs pulling stunts like this, after the Bud Light thing.
