“box-ticking casting that ‘shoe-horns”
WTH does that mean?
It means:
Black ... check.
Gay ... check.
Trans ... check.
And then casting them in roles that are historically NOT those things and in which they DO NOT belong.
WTH does that mean?
“box-ticking casting that ‘shoe-horns”
“WTH does that mean?”
I’m going to explain it because I actually thought that was my own made up term.
Shoe horn-A curved piece of polished horn, wood, or metal used to facilitate the entrance of the foot into a shoe
One reason to use a shoe horn is that your foot doesn’t fit in the shoe. Forcing obviously wrong people into movie parts is therefore called “shoe horning”. I’ve been using that term for quite some time. Like these days anytime there is a white family get together in a movie inevitably one of the white family member will have a black significant other.
