Listening to Matthew and Casey's acceptance speech made it clearer that these assholes are just here for the hot men and the fanwars and never for queer representation. I hope their losing streak and joblessness gets worse from here on 😘
you have industry veterans stephen fry and uma thurman who appreciate rwrb, and then there's this diva (along with his stans) who just got a taste of fame then dares to belittle it...
"Maybe I just love rwrb too much" and you're allowed. A lot of us loved the book even before it became a film. Do not force yourself to minimize that love just because the actors in its adaptation are shit. Call them out for what they are.
Not referring to the cult/minions cuz they're obv not fans...m talking about those rwrb accs who appear neutral or sympathetic with the person in question
Like sorry for being a queer fan who's asking a straight actor to show respect to his queer project? Which is a bare fucking minimum requirement when taking on those roles? Lol.
The criticisms towards N*ck are valid. I will die on this hill.
Not our fault most of y'all refuse to use your critical thinking skills. Which is borderline idolatry, and something a lot of his toxic/anti-rwrb stans already exhibit.
Trying to deflect responsibility from a grown actor who has used a lot of queer roles to advance his career as queer fans yourseleves...could never be me sorry.
If anything, they're the ones who have to adjust to us. The fandom has already been well established even before they came along. We deserve respect too, since they're essentially the outsiders.
If they don't wanna deal with the commitment then they can just turn down the role.
Here comes the tweets about that like 🥴🥴🥴 Months ago I would've fallen for it, but I refuse to take that man's bullshit any longer. Everything is a stunt and tactic when it comes to him.
I hate J*oey too but let's be honest they're just trying to use her to deflect responsibility for making fun of Taylor's grief. You'll never catch me take their "activism" seriously.
This!!! This has always been the point of this discourse.
But ofc the cult will ignore/twist it bc every comment on Nick (even the constructive ones) automatically equates as attacks to them. 😮💨
@lingerbythedoor
literally no one asks him to talk ONLY about the rwrb, but it is impossible not to notice that he does not talk about it AT ALL, which is difficult here, this ignore is obvious
Not him and/or his team thinking filmupdates is beneath him as well...the superiority complex is through the roof 💀💀💀 fucking obnoxious and pretentious
There would not have been any commotion had he just posted something. You can't blame fans for noticing his deliberate silence. He brought that upon himself.
who would've thought that calling nicholas things 24/7 and making up narratives to be mad about inside your head over him not making an ig post would cause him to distance himself from the fandom. who would've thought!
this fandom became toxic not bc of its own fans who found community with the little pink book. it was ruined by the straight girls who discovered the movie and are so man-obsessed that they think everything should be a competition.
comparing the ways each of them answers the questions...it's glaring how only one shows a much more profound understanding and connection with the characters and the book
“tzp is just riding the rwrb train to a paycheck” if i knew the author and director i would also push the trilogy agenda. a tetralogy, if you will. a mini series, even. a spin-off tv show, perchance
Yea I sound entitled but ain't that the point 💀 the queer community is entitled to decent representation. If some artists/actors can't commit to that then they should stay away from queer roles.
Ppl keep saying it's his team...like he's not a grown man who can make decisions...even if it was his team who did it, where do you think the idea/orders came from? Stop stripping him of agency and accountability. Respectfully.
The way the air got into their heads (including their idol's) really fast...perhaps we can agree that he wouldn't have gotten those other deals had he not agreed to the sequel? Which in turn implies that...he wouldn't have gotten those opportunities if not for rwrb 😱😱😱
those who are criticizing in good faith will stop once he's sufficiently shown respect to rwrb. dont conflate us with that other faction who bashes him nonsensically.
he's a straight actor who chose to play queer characters. he should be aware of the responsibilities tied to it
The criticisms towards N*ck are valid. I will die on this hill.
Not our fault most of y'all refuse to use your critical thinking skills. Which is borderline idolatry, and something a lot of his toxic/anti-rwrb stans already exhibit.
Ironically looking at the stats rn rwrb is his best shot at a prestigious award...but I won't be surprised if he completely drops out/dissociates if he doesn't get a nom 💀 that's just how low my expectations are of him atp
For the record, I used to adore him. I really did. I would have defended him from harries in the t/i/o/y discourse despite being a harrie myself. But then I noticed him constantly subtly demean rwrb in his interviews.
Have you got no respect for yourselves? May I remind you all that it's pride month? Why are we trying to shrink ourselves to accommodate a straight white man who has time and again exploited queer characters to achieve fame?
This is why we can't call him out enough cuz a lot of you still choose to protect him even if he's clearly hurting us. Other queer fandoms would have already decimated that man for disrespecting them.
This hate did not emerge over night. It took me weeks to acknowledge that I was getting offended by his actions, because I really didn't want to become a hater. I gave him the benefit of the doubt multiple times. And all he does is continue to disappoint.
well if u insist that nick has the right to be called lead actor since he's
#1
in the call sheet, then ig it's valid for us to ask why hasn't he been promoting the sequel in socmed, righttttttttttttttttttt
And ppl still have the gall to brush this off and pretend everything is ok...when will enough be enough? The day Matthew and Casey announce that they're dropping him? Lol. To call this behavior delulu would be an understatement at this point.
tbh i think theyre just envious that their faves are not as unproblematic and as well-accomplished as alyssa.
they're just waiting for her to crack and do something out of character so they can finally find basis for their hate.
The big accs might say they hope Matthew and Casey don't see our arguments on here but I hope they do. I hope they see the takes that might appear negative at first, but still hold merit.
Both Alex and Henry's experiences are valid. But pointing out how a large part of the fandom tends to undermine Alex's trauma doesn't mean we should undermine Henry's instead pls 💀💀💀
I can't believe I have to agree with that one acc but filmupdates has been with him since day 1...he's truly not beating the ungrateful allegations. Sorry not sorry!!!
I really really hope Casey and Matthew have noticed this behavior and have been discussing it because it's really not giving, man.
Again, why the fuck would you agree to making the sequel if you're gonna treat your costars and the community like this.
do u guys ever think about how taylor was so proud of nick when purple hearts came out that he invited rachel and aneesh over to watch it w them bc they wanted to give him his own little premiere bc i do a lot
These reactions wouldn't have been warranted had they not indicate that he would be representing rwrb as well. But saying he's there for both m&g and rwrb then proceeding to ignore rwrb? It's fucking deliberate bro.
"rWrB fAnDoM iS tOxIc" and it's just a bunch of us writing fan fics, making art, making firstprince edits to taylor swift songs, annotating the RWRB book for the 100th time.. it's just pure queer joy <3
imagine saying alex “outed” henry, couldn’t be me. especially when it was all miguel’s fault AND the fact that he outed BOTH alex and henry when he leaked their emails. be fucking serious, alex is a fucking victim too.
This is why we can't call him out enough cuz a lot of you still choose to protect him even if he's clearly hurting us. Other queer fandoms would have already decimated that man for disrespecting them.
Again, the rwrb outing theme rhetoric won't work on them bc they hate the movie and tzp specifically. They're doing it on purpose. That's just how terrible they are as human beings.
Yea celebrities speaking up are good but instead of getting hung up on policing those who choose to remain silent due to pr restrictions maybe use that energy in spreading awareness and donating using your stan/personal accs instead? Lol
I hate J*oey too but let's be honest they're just trying to use her to deflect responsibility for making fun of Taylor's grief. You'll never catch me take their "activism" seriously.
All this problematic behavior lead up to something I'm sure...if I'm proven wrong the ok. But if otherwise...let's just say if he goes low I'll go lower
And as someone whose stance has always been book > film, and that straight actors should never take queer roles for granted, I got turned off. REAL BAD. So here I am.
@nickgalitzine
i just looked at him and went omg hi and he started chatting with us. we told him we manifested this and he was “what do you mean by that” lmao
I'm 100% not the ones who think that only queer actors should play queer roles however, profiting from a queer movie and queer fans while not acknowledging it's success or nominations - and not doing anything to promote is disrespectful and gross.
Anyway I'm all in for fandom artists following fp's canonically accurate appearance...it's a good start to dissociating one's imagination from the actors' likenesses, especially his. 🥴
Because if we don't let the big accs control the narrative, some have pretty sound takes on the issue. The problem just lies on the big accs gaslighting us into believing that those takes are invalid, even if they actually are.
Then again this fandom always has a lot of stuff to say abt T. And only a few ppl bat an eye when the stuff said are way below the belt. As for the white man, however...😶
Sorry to revert to this topic but Nick's radio silence really hangs like a dark cloud over my head these past few days.
I keep trying to understand, but I just can't. While there may be plausible excuses, until when are we gonna stretch them out?
He mentioned t/i/o/y and Anne on that panel? Lmao he's so desperate to make that trash so relevant 😭 and it's pathetic to see him excessively attach himself to Anne. I thought you were already a good and successful actor in your own? Lmao
not that I believe it too, bc Matthew has spoken highly of both guys. though it's not a stretch to assume that he would relate to T better given similarities in their backgrounds
If he's so tired of the fandom why did he agree to a sequel then...if he's already the a-list star y'all claim him to be I'm sure he's capable of navigating the contracts Amazon has trapped him in 😘🤪🤩🥳💕💕💕✨✨✨

EVERYONE!!
Here’s a special gift from the fandom, to the fandom to celebrate 🥳
We hope you love it as much as we do 🥀🥀

#FIRSTPRINCE
If he's allowed to post abt his other new projects there's no excuse for him not to post about the sequel. Perhaps the social media clause was never to post abt it lol
Again, I'm not just bothered for the cast and crew. I'm feeling on behalf of the community he is supposed to represent. Idk man. It's all so unsettling. And I mean this in the most constructive way possible. Because I refuse to sound like

trolls.

Kaya nga baka he got upset at the fandom bc we keep bringing up
#those
pics and gifs and the pregnant joke 😭 which is valid, but it's not completely on the fans if he has fragile masculinity
That update acc wasn't made to "update." It was made to constantly shade our lil movie. Don't give it the attention it so desperately seeks but does not deserve 🤥
Sorry to revert to this topic but Nick's radio silence really hangs like a dark cloud over my head these past few days.
I keep trying to understand, but I just can't. While there may be plausible excuses, until when are we gonna stretch them out?
ah, another possibility: they hate how matthew keeps bringing up tn's chemistry/relationship on set. it fuels other fans' delulus which they don't like bc it keeps attaching n to rwrb 😂
Idk what's the term in English but there's a Filipino word for when you're so amazed by experiencing something for the first time you end up looking stupid...that's how he is everytime he brings up working with Anne. The other veteran actors must be scoffing ☠️☠️☠️
these people will make horrible remarks about taylor then turn around and call it a joke but can’t handle two friends messing with eachother truly is you associate with these people fuck you to grind better company
Taylor Zakar Perez on the R-rating for 'Red, White & Royal Blue'
"I don't think it deserved the R-rating, personally"
"You can point blank shoot somebody and it's PG-13 and if you have queer romance on screen it's rated R"
It's obvious they're dissociating his socmed presence from rwrb cuz he doesn't want to be associated with the film anymore. Lumaki na ulo eh. That simple.
