nahemaraxe started it, and I have no problem continuing. I thought it was a prank so I blinked and moved on, but it's been 2 days now and no denial from My Chem people.

"The above picture shows a My Chemical Romance audition advertisement sent out to actors. There are two roles, a girl aged 8-10 with an attitude and vulnerability, and a feminine male aged 18-25, with abs, who can roller skate." 

Feminine male in this case = ladyboy

And sure, I'm pissed that the agency did it, those are some stupid fucks
And yeah, I'm pissed that MCR didn't respond because wtf guys, WTAF, these are the people working with you and representing you in a way. Stand up against this shit.
But mostly, I'm angry and sad about the complete lack of response from the fandom. Except "hey, where's the music!?" FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHERE.

Never been happier that Bob isn't there any more.

I'm leaving this unlocked, fuckit.

This makes me so angry I can't even find the words to properly express my rage. Even apart from all the gender concerns, why would a company of professionals use such an unprofessional, derogatory term? Raaaage, omg.

*nod* no idea. But it seems we're more worried about it in Europe than the USsians are. Still, I don't think you can look at that word, even if you never saw it, and think "hey, that totally looks like a good, gender affirming word!"

I have no idea why the agency used it but suddenly all those stories about what actors have to go through to become ANYTHING come into perspective. If this is how it's done... I don't even wanna know how they look for Native American actors or models.
