#i don't know if ill actually make a post about this but i just need to rant about it#with the stuff going on with bl*ke l*vely and j*stin b*ldoni#where i feel like people are still not getting the point regarding institutional misogyny and media backlash#where when it ends with us came out#there was a lot of criticism of blake due to how she marketed the film considering there was the whole ''grab your florals and watch the#domestic abuse movie'' thing and the launching a hairline off of it and the whole thing with her husband's gin company and a whole thing#where they were naming alcoholic drinks after things in the movies which is batshit insane and inappropriate#and there was talk about her and her husband crossing the picket line during the writers' strike#and all of that is very fair criticism#but of course twitter had people scouring the web for any time shed seemingly done anything wrong to shame her for#which is not fair criticism and amounted to a hate mob#and meanwhile her costar justin seemed to be actually taking the subject seriously i think#tbh idk much about the whole one versus the other thing like i was not comparing her to him so i cant talk specifics about how he handled it#but in a lawsuit its now come out that he was incredibly inappropriate and seemingly abusive on set of the film and hired the same PR crisis#team as j*hnny d*pp when that trial was happening#and that there was a targeted media push to smear her name#and obviously there is a very important point here regarding how willing people are to go after women for doing anything wrong#and how pervasive misogyny is#but im also now seeing people turning around and being like ''see! she didn't do anything wrong at all! shes innocent!''#and okay like. thats not true though#the way she handled domestic abuse during the marketing for the film was in fact inappropriate and very fucking insulting as someone#personally affected by domestic abuse#even if she was instructed to market it that way by the production company she is a grown woman who could have said no and not done that#there is still worthwhile criticism of how she handled it to be made and trying to paint over that is not only insulting but also missing#the entire fucking point#which is that women who are not perfect victims are still victim of this oervasive misogyny within the industry and society at large#and that it is still worthwhile to talk about it and side with them in this regard#saying that people were ''witch hunting'' her for the crime of ''being annoying'' is factually incorrect and perpetuates the myth that the#only people worthy of victim status are those who are bastions of innocence#what happened to her was wrong whether she be innocent of all or guilty of fucking up sometimes like humans do
