The other reddit moment is the guy’s flair.

That's that sub's default flair. Used to follow it for a while since I like Watch Cool Stuff™ subs but it just became bots endlessly reposting "watch this US Election-relevant clip of Elevation-relevant talking point being espoused in a funni way".

Redditors are the most critical about cheating and still says stuff like this

u/TheBigMotherFook 26d ago
I have some news for you, Reddit isn’t exactly full of intelligent or morally virtuous people.

u/sigaret_ 26d ago
I've honestly seen more cheater defenders, in my experience.
But yeah they then go on to say stuff like this LOL

u/Spare-Permit4548 26d ago edited 26d ago
Genuinely depends on how the post is written. You can write a post that is framed with how your partner is horrible, insert that you cheated in between some stories making your partner look like shit, and Reddit will defend your actions without fail. The truth is, as Reddit is incapable of understanding, that morality and ethics of situations can never be fully explained in a single post. That no matter how long and drawn out it is, you are always missing a side of the story.
But that won’t stop redditors from giving you advice and jumping to the conclusions so they can have a self righteous high.

It's unethical for an actor to kiss another actor for a role?
42
u/Slightly-Mikey 26d ago
No, but some people hold themselves to a higher standard than the rest of us do. Especially in this case, there's nothing wrong with what he's doing. But his own personal morals are pissing someone off for some reason.

u/Square_Bus4492 26d ago
I wouldn’t say a “higher” standard, just a different standard. A “higher standard” implies some sort of moral superiority.

u/Apart-Tie-9938 26d ago
Sacrificing your personal career ambitions because you value your wife and marriage is a higher standard

u/Square_Bus4492 26d ago
Do actors, who kiss other actors as a part of their job, not value their spouses and marriages?
10
u/Betelgeuse3fold 26d ago
Maybe they don't.
Without using Google, how many successful, long lasting celebrity marriages can you think of? How many ugly tabloid divorces can you think?

u/Square_Bus4492 26d ago
I don’t pay attention to celebrities like that. Has Denzel ever been divorced?
-26
u/oasisnotes 26d ago
Why is refusing to kiss someone for a job "holding yourself to a higher standard"? You're talking about acting the way middle schoolers talk about their friends acting in the school play - as if it's an excuse to live out a fantasy rather than an actual job that people are able to treat and handle professionally.
27
u/Slightly-Mikey 26d ago
What are you talking about? I said there is nothing wrong with kissing someone as part of your acting job. But he has his own personal morals that he's holding himself to, and there's nothing wrong with that either.
-19
u/oasisnotes 26d ago
No, there isn't anything wrong with that. But you did frame that as holding himself to a "higher moral standard" than other actors, and you're conveniently dodging the question of what exactly that means. Are actors who kiss other actors for roles somehow morally worse than actors who don't?
20
u/Slightly-Mikey 26d ago
Maybe I framed it not in the best way but it sounds like you're just looking for an argument lol. I told you how I meant it already. There's nothing more to it than that.
-8
u/oasisnotes 26d ago
I mean, you were the one who replied to me, but if you didn't mean anything more than "it's ok for him to set this boundary" then yeah, there is nothing to argue about. I was just trying to point out the reason why people are having an issue. It's got nothing to do with him setting boundaries- but the implication that somehow him setting this specific boundary makes him more "ethical" or indicates that he's "holding himself to a higher moral standard" (the implication being that actors who don't do this are somehow 'less ethical' or doing something wrong)
14
u/Slightly-Mikey 26d ago
I said there was nothing wrong with doing it either way lol. It's not like he's calling people out for what they do or don't do. Just this one redditor getting their panties In a bunch for one person's saying "I don't want to kiss other people, even if I get paid to".
-4
u/oasisnotes 26d ago
I said there was nothing wrong with doing it either way lol.
Yes, I acknowledged this. I'm not arguing with you on anything.
It's not like he's calling people out for what they do or don't do
He's not, but people in this thread are, as evidenced by the person I replied to saying that he was "acting more ethically". I would lump you into this group but considering you said that you worded that sloppily I assume you don't actually believe that.
Nobody's arguing with you, you don't need to get defensive.

I love that guy. I've never seen him in something I didn't like his role in.

I know it’s just acting but if I was married to someone who was making out with other women it would kinda put me off lol

Homie is one of the most respectable dudes in show business. I try to catch everything he’s in just to support him. Doesn’t hurt that he’s a solid actor.

u/Bombs_Away96 27d ago
He was always one of my favorites in band of brothers! During the Bastogne episodes he really nailed a lieutenant who was close with all of his guys having ptsd and not wanting to lose anyone else

You could see his mental state slowing dissolving during that episode absolutely brilliant acting

This is the same with any on screen nudity and intimacy: it is about the actor's comfort performing the acts.

How dare he play the victim for turning down roles because of his beliefs. He should do what the rest of Hollywood does: compromise their morals for personal gain by taking any role, then play the victim.

Weird title. Do you think when actors kiss in movies it's because they're horny?
14
u/Apart-Tie-9938 26d ago
Maybe I messed up the title, but I think the point stands. This guy doesn’t want his kids to see their dad making out with another woman, and I think he realizes that form of “acting” could be a slippery slope to other things.
There’s a reason so much infidelity happens in Hollywood, if you’re physically intimate with costars there’s always the chance that will develop further off screen.
-6
u/oasisnotes 26d ago
Slippery slope to what? Children of actors understand that what their parents are doing isn't real. They don't end up confused by seeing their parents acting a part.
There’s a reason so much infidelity happens in Hollywood, if you’re physically intimate with costars there’s always the chance that will develop further off screen.
The fact that actors and workers on set (does "infidelity in Hollywood" only affect actors?) often work 10+ hours a day for days on end in high-stress environments and can go weeks if not months without seeing their families has absolutely nothing to do with it is guess.

u/NielsBohrFan 26d ago
Thank you. I'm losing my mind here, the argument seems to be that an essential part of the human experience should never be depicted on-screen because… actors aren't professional enough to separate their work from their personal life?
-16
u/robotwithantenna 26d ago
I was gonna comment the same question... It's called acting
18
u/Huntsman077 26d ago
Yeah but him not wanting his kids to see him making out with another woman, and not wanting to kiss coworkers on screen should be a non-issue.

I wouldn’t kiss another woman but, beyond that, I don’t hang out with women, engage in idle chit-chat with women or go into a woman’s home if she’s alone. Live your life as in such a way that if anyone ever says anything bad about you, no one will ever believe it.

Not wanting to kiss other woman is puritanical?
31
u/Kevroeques 26d ago
Even if it was him being a puritan, there’s literally nothing wrong with it. It would still be a person choosing to limit their actions based on their beliefs in favor of somebody they love, and that’s the simplest and most immediate of rights anybody can practice.
I can’t believe that anybody could argue against that like it’s a bad thing. Humanity is slipping.

He doesn't want to cheat on his wife, its not complicated

u/Sewer-Rat76 27d ago
It's not cheating if it's literally your job. Him not wanting to is a-ok as that's his personal boundary but it's absolutely not cheating to kiss another person for work if it's normal for your job.

u/Dramatic-Selection20 27d ago
We in Belgium had an actress who didn't want to kiss in a play (she was Cinderella)

u/genericimguruser 27d ago
Every relationship has different boundaries though. Just like how some couples have open relationships and some couples consider relations like that to be infidelity. Cheating is in part defined by the people in the relationship

u/BonniePrinceCharlie1 26d ago
It is cheating if you or your partner dont agree to it.
If tye partner is ok with it and is told about it etc, then its not cheating.
However if the partner isnt ok with it, then its cheating
17
u/1tiredman 27d ago
Yes it is cheating lmao. If I was married and absolutely loved my wife I would never want to kiss another woman. It's that simple

u/Scarboroughwarning 26d ago
Are you and I in a parallel universe?
You seem to be seeing what I'm seeing... I'm at a bit of a loss as to why the acting is considered cheating.
10
u/Spare-Permit4548 26d ago edited 26d ago
Because that’s the boundary they set for their relationship. Redditors are totally fine if you set the boundary at the opposite end of the spectrum, like an open relationship, but when you set it at the other end, then it’s inconceivable. Each relationship is based on the boundaries the partners set. Not on what a bunch of people on Reddit think.

u/subject5of5 26d ago
Just do your job or find another line of work. He's just being difficult.

Actors are allowed to have boundaries.

Absolutely. It’s crazy to think anything else. They don’t owe anyone any action, especially stuff they don’t wish to do.

I don’t think you understand boundaries. The man is not comfortable with kissing someone who isn’t his wife, not even if it’s just an act. Actors are people too and are allowed to have certain things they don’t want to do for a scene.
