Exactly, but even so, it’s an actors job, many lose weight, gain muscle, grow hair, lose hair, all the time for the role. Such a strange thing to be angry about, let the actors decide themselves lmao. What’s with the new trend of people getting offended on behalf of others?
The post pointed out an inconsistency, anyone would expect an unkempt person to not shave their armpits. Perhaps the director missed this (as they often do, there’s a lot of inconsistencies in films and more so in shows) in this case, or just didnt care.
But if a role required armpit hair (or literally anything else), then it would be expected the auditioning actors would be willing to grow it or wear fake etc. If they wont or cannot, then it’s totally reasonable for someone else to be cast instead.
An expectation that an actor tries their best to fill their role is absolutely okay. Just because you have a personal issue with armpit hair, doesnt mean it should not be a factor in aesthetics of a character.

Yup, totally with you.
It’s ok if they do it. It’s not ok to be mad if they don’t go far enough. Are you going to cripple the house actor for realisms sake?
Creating these demands and expectations is not ok.
Reading comprehension here is worse than tumblr, istg.
Thanks. Thought they said the actor should just do all the afformentioned things.

You are forgetting that acting is a job. One the actors have the freedom to decide and negotiate their terms.
It’s perfectly reasonable for a character to have armpit hair, even if that personally offends you.
The actor can decide what to do with the director or whomever. You dont need to project your own opinions onto some random actor, they have their own.
Also, it is absolutely fucking okay to expect consistency in a film/show.
I don’t expect them to have shaven armpits. I do not care either way. It’s a weird thing to notice anyway.
If Christian Bale wants to make himself look like Skeletor for a role, that’s his choice.
