Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster
(poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen
“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”
So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.
Her own artwork…. Movies are collaborations. She it a tiny but important part of the artwork not the entirety. Shit she’s like the sixth person playing the role. She created not much.
"She it a tiny but important part of the artwork..."
yes. and look how furious and contemptuous it has still made you that she has an opinion about her own work.
you claim she's so unimportant, so why is it that she deserves so much contempt and abuse from a dozen strangers in one post simply for expressing her opinion, without demanding change or attacking anyone.
No, I’m contemptuous of you. She’s foolish for feeling that way and you’re foolish for acting like she’s a victim. She’s the subject of fan art, boo fucking hoo. Not even rule34 fanart. Get off yourself.
"No, I’m contemptuous of you[wait for it]. She’s foolish for feeling that way[this is contempt]"
and yet you are insulting Cynthia. now that you realize how shameful that is, you're turning your tantrum on the person who pointed it out.
you aren't contemptuous of me, you're upset that I've called you out.
you are following the common emotional line of everyone else here who is insulting and dehumanizing her.
"She’s the subject of fan art, boo fucking hoo"
she got hurt and shared her feelings. that doesn't threaten you or affect your life, and yet you're furious at her.
kind of weird, huh? wonder what that says about you.
