'It's like blackface': Alec Baldwin slammed by disabled groups for accepting lead role in movie about a blind man

Oh...everybody is outraged by everything. We can't deal. Did they want a blind man to take the role and read all the scripts in braille?

They'd call a blind actor playing a sighted part otherly abled progress.

Good good, it's nothing like black face. He's an actor....actors act like other people. They need a big name (Alec is....pretty huge) and doy they not understand the concept of insurance which wouldn't be so high using an actor who can see? Blackface were white people using black stereotypes with a painted black face...."sho' nuff cuz I's say tah mah massah......" Alec isn't "cooning" and he ain't "shuck and jiving".

Blackface is Scaramooch playing a Long Islander. Isn't Baldwin from Massapequa?

Acting is appropriation! We should only allow real architects to play architects in future. (Robert Reed is responsible for thousands of architect deaths since just last week you know) No more fake doctors on tv, only REAL doctors, fuck the health system, we don't need doctors in hospital, we need them in film sets.

Good thing Audrey Hepburn isn't still around otherwise these people would be tearing her to shreds for playing Suzie in Wait Until Dark. Ditto Elizabeth Hartman in A Patch Of Blue.

And yet the SJWs are all for biological appropriation, or would that be "DNA appropriation"?
The Regressive Left goes after a professional actor, Alec Baldwin, for playing a blind man in a movie, but gives courage awards to Bruce Jenner for wearing WomanFace in real life, not in the make-believe world of film.
And they get indignant when their hypocrisy is pointed out.

So all movies should be documentaries now? No actor should play any role that does not resemble his life. What a ridiculous idea!

But everyone on the planet can play a character written as a white man and get awards for it.

This is completely fucking out of control. What's next - will people protest the Oscars if Sally Hawkins is nominated for The Shape of Water? After all, I'm sure Marlee Matlin was available to play the part!

Blind blind or legally blind? Big difference.
Also is "legally blonde" an ableist slur? Methinks it is. BOYCOTT.

It's not comparable to blackface. The origins of blackface lie in racist mockery and stereotyping. The whole point of acting is that you're playing someone other than yourself. If it's automatically offensive for an able-bodied person to play a disabled person, you might as well say it's offensive for actors to wear "poor-face" and play characters of lower socioeconomic status than themselves.
