amc actively campaigning for 2.05 whilst continuing to ignore assad is on a whole new level of mean-spirited tbh

i love wikipedia and i think it is good and right to give them money but all their funding drive messages are “well… we’ll be killing ourselves tonight. we asked so little of you and yet it seems that simply nobody cares about lil ol wikipedia anymore….sad…”

Yes, Sam is a very talented actor who deserves nominations and wins. Yes, he was nominated for supporting actor and not leading actor, which is supposedly a more accessible category. Yes, he is nominated for a Critics' Choice Awards and AMC did include Assad on the FYC banners for that award. Yes, he didn't point a gun at anyone and forced them to ignore Jacob, Delainey and Assad. Yes, Sam probably agrees they deserve nominations too.

That is not the point. I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt that these are just accidentally ignorant comments and not actual racism, but please, that is not the point. Doesn't change the fact AMC didn't acknowledge Assad for the Golden Globes campaign, when he played a way bigger role this season. Doesn't change the fact they didn't put Assad, a main actor, on the Comic Con posters and replaced him with a recurring actor that isn't even on the show anymore. Doesn't change the fact some articles aren't even mentioning Assad's name, which is a pretty clear Arabic/Muslim name and bigotry against those groups has skyrocketed since last year. It doesn't change the fact that Jacob got snubbed by CCA. Doesn't change the fact that so did Delainey. And it definitely doesn't change the fact it isn't the first and I doubt it will be the last time something like that happens.

And every time people concentrate on the technicalities of who is responsible for what, who was on the GG banners and who was on the CCA ones, and what Sam has to do with it or not, you're deflecting from the real point of the conversation. And if I haven't been extremely eloquent and clear, the point is RACISM. And CCA, AMC, the industry in general and the fandom have all participated in the racism these wonderful actors have dealt with, one way or another. And I beg people finally focus on the actual problem.

parasocialism: when you think a public figure is more left wing than they really are because you personally like them

all respect to the violent femmes but nothing compares to the disappointment of hearing that a band is called the violent femmes and then it’s four normal dudes… i’ll never forgive them
