Yeah, I didn't mean to accuse anybody of anything. It's just something that came to my mind since I'd never seen the other actors referred to with acronyms.
Who does get abbreviated to JJA.JJ Abrams.
I see it all the time, and assumed nothing would come of me using one, other than maybe someone else picking up on the fact that Sonequa Martin Green has the same acronym as Sarah Michelle Geller, which did happen. And there's someone else in Hollywood with three names who is frequently known by an acronym.It's just something that came to my mind since I'd never seen the other actors referred to with acronyms.
Anyone who has watched Scott M. Gimple talk for example about Walking Dead would know that you dont necessarily want to believe everything he says about potential spoilers.
We need a new acronym for Sonequa. Ideas?
Why is that a "scary-looking" name?
Or foreign looking?
I think @{ Emilia } raises an important issue. People with names uncommon or unfamiliar to the dominant culture, the White Ear, so to speak, often have their names manipulated or erased to suit the dominant culture's comforts or norms. That's not okay. On the other hand, with that firmly in mind, I do think that fandoms often play with their favorite actors' names in an affectionate way. Who hasn't referred to William Shatner as "The Shat"? Or Patrick Stewart as "PatStew"? But just because those nicknames exist doesn't mean we're exempt from remembering and avoiding erasing people's (specifically POC's) names -- like, "That name's too hard, I'm just going to call you Joe. Okay, Joe?"
"escalated"...? More like educated...Well this needlessly escalated quickly......I really don't think @The Wormhole being anything but a tad lazy.......which I am often guilty of as well.
Yeah it's not commonly heard I guess. PatStew (heh heh) does use sirpatstew as his Instagram handle though!I have NEVER heard of "PatStew"...and just makes me think of Pad See Ew (Thai dish)

This was in question?Can we now all acknowledge and accept that studio press releases are pure marketing and consist of a ton of spin and some outright lies, and shouldn't be taken as absolute truth?
