It does however cause problems for some players, groups, and DMs because such folks do not understand how to separate themselves from their characters - they get upset when something happens to their character (to them) that they don't like.Ĭlick to shrink.I know, she only has a problem though when its chauvinistic antagonists or shit people in general (with the show treating them negatively, not only straight up villains). This oddly crossed over in recent conversations I had about role playing games, and how many less experienced players start out by creating characters that are idealized and exaggerated versions of themselves. (He speaks fondly of the role.) The fans don't grasp that Q is a character. They take this as de Lancie hating the character and disliking Star Trek, which isn't true. For a random example, there's an trend of Star Trek fans weirdly angry that John de Lancie - who portrays Q - is utterly disconnected from the character. There are plenty of stories of people getting upset at actors they meet in real life only to discover the actor isn't the character they play. That in itself is not a new misunderstanding. It's like for them an actor is another person chatting behind an avatar which is meant to be taken as an expression of what the individual wants to be seen as. They literally do not understand what an actor does. The harassment of actors portraying characters is a sign of people who go online and only know how to play fantasy versions of themselves.
It's been put forth that a reason why shipping circles are so fixated on media aimed at or most exposed to younger people, is because those in the fandom are young and lack exposure to a wider variety of subject matter and context. I think this shows up in areas like shipping because you have a scene that's almost entirely about purely positive fantasizing to create good feelings. Increasingly though, this does reflect in online spaces as a demand for whatever they perceive to be their culture, their group, to mainly provide palliative care for them. They might very well be literally isolated in real life by circumstances beyond their control. If they're members of a marginalized community, that is often understandable. the backlash to the game should be dismantled and shown as absurd and the harassment should be condemned, but that should be done in a way that addresses the criticism rather than the strawman of people not being able to distinguish an actor from his characterĪ lot of Extremely Online people give off the vibe of being very immature and inexperienced, and isolated. but criticism of the backlash for not being able to distinguish between actor and character misses the mark. Of course, this is also severely stupid on multiple levels. if the product and character itself are unethical, then agreeing to play the character would make the actor culpable of digital sexual harassment and stalking as well. as such, some people argued that they did not consent to being stalked in the game, which would make the game a form of digital sexual harassment perpetrated on its audience. instead, the outrage is about how some people think that the stalker storyline is unethical, because people who bought the game didn't know about it before buying. the objection people have is still dumb but not that outright absurd on the face of it.
it's not that many people actually can't discriminate between actor and character. There do seem to be some misconceptions here about what the criticism is about. The harassment of this actor is reprehensible and the discourse around this game is dumb as hell. Its strange and she undertands when i explain, until a new one appears and she forgets. She has also hated actors becuase of some first role she saw them on being something she doesnt like, even if they are really nice people in real life and actually activists for what she wants. Sometimes she wants to erase problematic stuff that need to be there to teach hard lessons. I mean that was the fucking message of that particular episode, he was needed for that. He was clearly protrayed as an chauvinistic piece of shit idiot, yet she disliked every time he said something (and not i a i dslike this characters and thats it which i perfectly undertand becuase thats what the authors wanted, more in a, why is he here, he shouldnt appear in the show). And every time i need to explain to her that the show is ACTUALLY ciriticising and thats why x or y is the villain or an antagonistic character and they clearly dont want us to sympthysize for them.įor example the general in the captain carter episode of what if.
