You see someone you support doing something nasty, you let them know.And calling out doesnt happen on India forums only lol. FYI life is not IF. 😆 Its a chain reaction. If enough people call out a wrongdoing it reaches that actor. Sure in India its a long way to go but calling out is one good SM tool for problematic people and in today's PR centric generation even Indian celebs pay attention. What alternative is there? Sit and take their crap? Nah.
And marital rape was brought up because it was suggested that when people are in a relationship everything chalta hain.
Also this biased unbiased talk is so frivolous lol. The point will always be whether someone is even capable of acknowledging their favorite's wrongdoing. The whataboutism, the talk of being biased, praising their fave somewhere else all that is so secondary. I see someone doing something creepy I say it's creepy. End of story. If people stop making excuses for their faves concerning problematic stuff there wouldn't be a debate Or fanwars. Again contrary to whatever some self proclaimed lord knows who believe calling them out is not for anyone's validation. If anything makes one uncomfortable its a right to voice it out. Esp women. Like it has happened elsewhere we'd reach the apology stage too one day. Again,for literally noone's validation.
U really think ur comments on the RK thread would lead to a chain reaction n ppl would scold him on social media over something he said 9 yrs ago, possibly as a joke to his gf on the basis of what? An edited video? Cmon, don't tell me ur that naive.
Again, nobody made excuses for RK's behaviour in the other thread. For one, it was an edited video, and two, he shared a certain comfort level with Kat which is why the behaviour may not seem as horrendous(to some) as it did to u. Im not supporting RK here, just stating what others may have felt.
Also, if u really want to call out this inappropriate behaviour then stop drooling over these stars and praising them, really. Thats the only way they can come out of their high handed behaviour, if at all u would like to believe that they can. Acknowledging their wrongdoing is great, but it doesn't do much to change their behaviour. I don't think we should be under the delusion that it will in future either.
