I don’t get it
Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

Fran Drescher is president of SAG-AFTRA and leading the strike against, amongst other things, studios wanting to use AI to replace actors and writers.

Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she’s the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).

We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn’t been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she’s been really active behind the scenes.
Hextic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Nanny being the one to lead the charge vs Skynet is the exact shit I expect from this current clown timeline.
And I’m fine with it. Fran Drescher is awesome.

She’s an antivax conspiracy chud. Reserve your praise.
veniasilente@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Select your praise. You can praise her pro-SAG action without having to also praise or even care about her anti-vax postures.
clutchmatic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
She’s passionate and she cares.
runjun@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Fran is constantly fighting for people’s rights. I love her.
BurtReynoldsMustache@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Okay but I think we can all agree Fran Drescher is THE baddest bitch after having watched her impassioned call to arms.

The highly nasal voice that strike fear into the hearts of machines everywhere.

For a long time I thought she played Janice on friends
pozbo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do you mean to tell me that she doesn’t play Janice on Friends?
Etterra@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Off topic but she sounded hoarse AF. I dunno if it’s from recent screaming or a pack-a-day habit but it caught me off guard.

We just don’t learn, do we?
Stop putting celebrities on a pedestal.
This bullshit celebrity hero worship has to stop. Fran was funny (and quite fetching) on The Nanny. What she is doing during the strike is great and all, but she is also anti-vaxx.
This is the problem that happens when our society puts these celebrities on a higher level than everyone else. Appreciate the work they have done on and off screen, but realize that they are just human and in the case of Fran, she is a little loopy when it comes to vaccine issues. She’s not someone we should look up to. None of these celebrities are. Look up to your dad or a fireman or that really good social studies teacher you had in 6th grade.

Stop expecting perfection.
Nobody is perfect. MLK had affairs, the founding fathers owned slaves, Churchill was racist AF, etc.
She’s doing a great job now and we can educate her the same way we turned Obama from anti-gay marriage.
We should judge people OVERALL not on stuff like being anti-vax (which to be clear is dumb).
Misconduct@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t expect perfection…? Being anti-vax is a big deal to me. That’s not a harmless ideology. It’s moronic and anti-science. This isn’t just some little thing I disagree with it’s, in my opinion, a huge moral and intellectual failure. I think it’s completely fair that this gets brought up because it’s directly relevant.

No!
If even ONE thought in her head disagrees with MY world view then she is useless and NEEDS to be destroyed!

That is a great way of saying it.
If you look at some of the biggest figures of our past in world history, the vast majority of them had some kind of vice or did some kind of thing or participated in some kind of event that would have gotten them cancelled in today’s world. It is ridiculous to what standards we hold people today, but in the end, they are just that - PEOPLE. Highly flawed individuals, just like you and I and everyone here. That doesn’t change the fact that they changed history (for better or worse) in one way or another. The problem comes when society then elevates them to some demi-god level and then everyone gets all flustered when that extra-marital affair or off-color joke or comments about some topic comes to light.

Now thats a very good opinion that I totally endorse.

Unless it’s me, right? 🥰

Hello, it’s me, your pedestal. Please sit on my face.
ShakyPerception@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well of course, but that’s a given assumption
Hazdaz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
…and you are??
Jackcooper@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So what you’re saying is
All hail Sarah Silverman
I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh god, what did Sarah Silverman do?
samus12345@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s just a shitpost. Why so serious?
Gorbachof@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What if Fran Dresscher is my dad?
Hazdaz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
She might teacher 6th grade social studies too! Shit. You found a loophole.
MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I only look up to superheros like Karl Marx or Xi Jinping
