I remember the backlash when Penn Bagley said he didn’t wanna do racy scenes on the show You. Said he wasn’t as comfortable about it since he was married. Mfs called him all kinds of shit even called him MAGA etc. Talking about “he has no self control” “his marriage must not be strong” “he probably isn’t comfortable” people insinuating he has backwards views of women. All this sounded to me was like the gamer version of a show like this.
That’s the first time I heard of that particular moment; sounds like the flipside of that “being a sex pest is sex positivity” shit that Louis CK and Joss Whedon were pushing on set.
There was a time Ricci refused to a scene like the director wanted to which is telling because she’s done plenty of sex scenes. The director threatened to sue her but she stood her ground.
There’s this weird fucked up puritan/pornbrain hybrid mentality that sees any actor that got naked on set as having surrendered the right to ever say no to doing le sexy sex scenes in the future.
Similarly, entire careers have sunk in the past because someone who was “le sexy” got naked and afterward was suddenly not seen as tantalizing enough or whatever.
Halle Berry’s career took a dive after Swordfish, for example.
Yeah. The Madonna/removed thing runs extremely, extremely deep. Once you’re “tainted” you’re tainted forever.
It’s something I really admire about Miley Cyrus - as soon as she was out from under Disney’s thumb she got a flamethrower, burned down her squeaky clean Hannah Montana character, and never apologized.
Angelina Jolie somehow escaped that terrible stigma by getting naked early and then just owning it and continuing on. Not sure how much of that was luck and how much of that was fighting like hell.
Same deal with Monica Belluci, but she’s not exactly Burgerland focused.
Eugh. I found out one of the sand snakes was put in a nude scene either literally the day she turned eighteen or the day after. She was an adult, she had the right to do that, but the directors? Are you fucking serious? I can’t believe anyone was willing to work with them after that. Idk, maybe the actress enthusiastically agreed to the idea, but ffs give the woman time to recover from her birthday hangover!
It’s like those old “countdown timers” webpages people used to maintain counting down until the Olsen twins were legally adults or something. Just 1 - what the fuck? And 2 - why the fuck was that acceptable?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/11xeipx/penn_badgley_thinks_we_all_overreacted_to_his/ Man didn’t even say anything bad. Its like actors and actresses aren’t allowed to have boundaries? And mind you these things have multiple shoots. They’re uncomfortable as fuck

Hold on you mantioned game of thrones. Lancel Lannister was 17 years old and was doing nudes in that
Oh for fuck’s sake, I didn’t even know that. I didn’t know I could hate Gambo even more.
I got more examples Gemma forced to do shit she doesn’t want to https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/gemma-arterton-sex-scene-director-b2610110.html Maybe there are less scenes because actresses have a choice and more power than they did in the past.
Didn’t they wait for Sophie turner to turn 18 to give her her firstremoved scene? How… Considerate
