Do you also get creeped out by biopics? Someone playing someone else who isn't them? What a terrible crime. At the very worst it's someone spending their time to entertain us. It's really not that unusual.

    Lol comparing this to biopics... What a fucking joke. A piece of literal art (whether I enjoy it or not), written, rewritten, casted, produced, rewritten again, thousands of people working together to create a film from literally nothing....

    Totally the same thing as a creepy dude making their username "Margot Robbie" like it's creative or funny... Totally the same thing. Same level of creativity and execution.

    Also, perhaps most importantly, biopics of living people are rarely, if ever, made without that person's (or their estate's) permission. They have rights about their image being used. And, if the movie is defamatory, the person can sue.

    This isn't even apples and oranges. We're comparing two completely different types and classes of foods.
