She does fine. Don't be mean.

It's not mean to think someone is bad at acting

(Anonymous) 2021-03-26 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
To loudly proclaim it to a comm like it's some kind of grand truth sure is.

Sorry -

"Oh, you're so smart, so tasteful, you only like actors with *skills*, I applaud your demonstration of your aesthetic prowess."

- feel better now?

I was unaware that Gal Gadot's mother posts here. Oops.

"Your daughter's so amazing she doesn't even need *acting skills*. She can carry a movie with the power of her blank stares alone."

Feel better now?

OP hasn't done that, though. You seem really weirdly defensive about this topic.

(Anonymous) 2021-03-26 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
I may be a little sensitive from the thinly-veiled antisemitic comments that were going around about Gadot last year. When there are a lot of bad-faith actors popping up, I start to assume bad faith from the start.


That said.

What is the fucking point of a secret like this?

It's boring. It's mean. If OP had farted in an elevator instead of posting this, it would have been a better use of their time.

I'm not sure it's useful, healthy OR accurate to automatically assume anti-Semitism when a Jewish actor receives a critique about their acting ability. I understand why you and others might feel a little hair-trigger touchy about this, though.

Arguing that a secret shouldn't exist because it's boring isn't a great look, either - especially if you're also the anon arguing that saying Gal Gadot can't act is mean and shouldn't be said. You're not the arbiter of which secrets are worthy and which aren't, and I suspect that's not really a role you want but your anger and fatigue about Gadot and anti-Semitism is putting you in a bad headspace. To remedy that, you might consider stepping away from the internet for a while and giving yourself a break. That's a far more reasonable (and achievable) goal that trying to shout down random secrets on FS because you don't like them.

A) Not antisemitism to say she can't act. Nor mean. Just the truth.
B) make more interesting secrets then, if you're so bothered.

(Anonymous) 2021-03-26 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
i really don't understand why you're so pressed about this. let's say it's incredibly "mean"... do you know the purpose of this comm? making secrets about nasty thoughts you don't want to say out loud is entirely within the point. your objection is bizarre

(Anonymous) 2021-03-26 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a secret. That's the point. It's to generate discussion. People ARE going to disagree about an opinion. That's why it's a secret. You are proving OP's post belongs here.

Besides, you can think someone is okay but still find their acting skills lacking. It's not like OP is calling Gadot a bad person, and certainly not because of where she was born. They're just criticizing her ability to act.
