DA

I think there is a line where being dumb starts hurting people though. Especially if you have a fanbase and a platform and people's trust

I don't think she does it intentionally, but neither do the people who promote useless expensive juice cleanses and things or get people alarmed about 'toxins'

In all honesty, I sort of assume that her target audience is largely people who are stupid rich already. It might bother me more if that wasn't who she was appealing to.

And also, at the end of the day, the moral standards of Hollywood are fucking low to start with.

So you're implying that gives her a pass? Or that we should apply a different standard?

I mean, there's no question a pass, and different standards, ARE given. But you agree that this is fine?

Apply a different standard compared to what? I don't understand the question

(Anonymous) 2019-05-14 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The things you implied were: it's okay for her to mislead people into wasting money on useless health fads because those people may be rich, and Hollywood standards are lower so we should judge her by those, not ones for normal people

Or was that not what you meant?

I do think that the standards by which we judge things should differ based on the circumstances and sometimes that includes things like who the victims are, yes. I think that's true in general, from a moral point of view.

With regard to Hollywood, I'm not thinking of general moral standards there, so much as the relationship between art and artists. Hollywood is full of morally bankrupt people, and when you're trying to navigate the relationship between Hollywood and the movies that Hollywood produces, the reality is that a huge amount of Hollywood movies involve people who are morally much worse than Paltrow.
