ExactlyWhen actor says something one doesn't agree with: "STFU you're an actor! What do you know!"
When actor says something one does agree with: "He has a point, and I agree with him."
I know, my post has nothing to do about the #metoo movement, just pointing out a hypocrisy.
Same thing with Sports personalities or Musicians.
I have only really noticed the dismissive "you are an actor, your opinion doesn't matter" or "you are just a basketball player, stfu and just dribble" coming almost exclusively from the rightwing. They only apply this argument when the celeb or sports personality supports some issue that is perceived to be against rightwing sympathies. They do not dismiss James Wood or Jon Voigh for their opinions on politics, because these 2 actors' opinions aligns with rightwing sympathies.
