TV's BATWOMAN Seeking Out Actress, of "ANY" Ethnicity. Maybe not Jewish?

[jump]

So is she Jewish?

So is she Jewish?

If not, I guess she'll play one on TV.

I am totally excited for this ^^

There is not release date yet for the series, right?

Guess it will come after the crossover?

The series has not been picked up yet. They've only ordered a pilot. While it is a good bet that it will get picked up, there is still a chance that it won't. Remember, they passed on Supergirl (and initially passed on Black Lightning, IIRC) so anything's possible. I wouldn't expect to see it until mid to late 2019 at the earliest.

At least she's an open lesbian.

[Vworp Vworp]

Not overly thrilled. She was very weak in OitB and since then hasn't done much that's made me change that opinion. Fair enough, it's the CW where decent acting is often a bonus, but my enthusiasm for any potential series has diminished a little with this casting.

What an incredible get. Good job, CW.

It's also good to know that she started acting in dramatic roles, but can still do things like this:

Ares was the very role that convinced me to add her to my list of Batwoman fancasts, way before a live action version was a possibility. Never in my top 10, but always on that list. I'm satisfied with this casting.

Ruby Rose just deactivated her Twitter and Instagram accounts due to negative reactions from "fans" i.e. cyber-bullying.

I hate the entitlement of some "fans". No one should ever act like that.

Wtf? What possible objection could these idiots actually hold against her casting? Whatever. The whole premise of this thread is steeped in that anti-diversity stupidity. Like white or jewish actors are being discriminated against simply by having open casting. Morons like this would abuse any actress for no reason at all, so it's a shame when people give up their online presence. It's like the trolls win. I don't use twitter, so how hard is it to just ignore/delete/block an influx of negativity like she experienced?

And fans wonder why nobody listens to them anymore.

Social Media is such cancer.

They claim shes 'not gay enough' whatever that means

I've not bothered to look to deeply into it but I thought the complaints are she's genderfluid rather than her sexuality.

So basically no actress can be cast in any "geek" franchise and stay on social media anymore. This is why I hate other geeks.

Are these arguments being made in good faith, or have we actually arrived at reductio ad absurdum?
