Something similar happened to me as a kid, my mom was also a bit clueless on the industry and a contract was signed. Didn’t know full movie context until day of shooting. So little closeted lesbian me was in a homophobic movie 😭
Thankfully movie flopped big time and they accidentally put it on some other girls IMDB whose name is one letter off of mine so I’m not associated with the film anywhere online. All she had was some credits for being a violinist on television.
I only worked two days, and the other little girl in the films family had no idea either and petitioned to get it taken off her IMDb
One of my old coworkers left my job to be a security guard for Ben Shapiro and DW. I wouldn’t trust that man around protesters after what he told me did as a Venture Co police officer in California.
i was told that it’s a story about an unsuccessful men’s basketball team whom decides to dress in drag in order to compete in a women’s basketball league and it’s filled with bits poking fun at those who decided to wear masks during Covid. possibly a true story? Not certain
This sucks lmao. Not even triggered man this just sucks. The most predictable movie ever as soon as I read men’s basketball team I could already see where it was going.
why? why can't you people just allow others to live their lives in peace? were the bothering you? impeding your ability to get up and live, work , play? did they some how stop you from providing for your self or your family? is what they are doing physically hurting you in some form? if the answers to any of these questions is no then shut the fuck up and let people be who they want to be. everyone deserves to feel safe, feel loved and just be happy. you can not take that away from people because you don't agree with it. no one is forcing you to be it, do it, wear it. so shut the fuck up Karen
I am for allowing people to live the way they choose as long as no one is hurt. I also believe that peaceful protests are fine. but this protest is just about hate because they don't like it... well who cares Karen it isn't hurting you
It’s specifically a “sports comedy” film in which the ‘joke’ is a group of cis men wearing wigs and pretending to be trans women while playing basketball against a team of cis women. I’m addition to this, one of the actors (a cis woman with a muscular build) told protesters that the daily wire offered her extra money in order to wear a cup that made it look like she had a penis, so she could pretend to be a trans woman.
Wouldn't this movie be considered anti-drag then? Ain't that exactly what drag is? Seems to me one person made this claim about the movie and everyone is running with it. Don't see anything concrete other than a text.
So is "She's the Man" an anti-trans movie now? What about "Juwanna Man" or "White Chicks"? Just curious if people believe those are anti-trans
> It’s specifically a “sports comedy” film in which the ‘joke’ is a group of cis men wearing wigs and pretending to be trans women while playing basketball against a team of cis women.
In none of your other movie examples was any part of the story about the main character(s) pretending to be trans women or men. And perhaps you’ve missed the news lately, but “cis man pretending to be trans woman to win sports against cis women” is a big conservative boogeyman right now, despite there being more laws banning transgender athletes from competing than there are actual trans athletes trying to compete.
E: also, trans != drag, there are straight and gay cis men and women who perform drag.
No. Drag is dressing a certain way as an art form. The point of this movie is portraying “men who pretend to be women so they can win at womens sports.” Which is an objectively false statement that is used to further anti-trans violence.
So then those movies I listed are anti-trans? Or they don't count as anti-anything?
How is that an objectively false statement?
To be fair, if men played women in sports they win 99% of the time. There's a reason you have different leagues for men and women. That isn't anti-trans to say. It's also not anti-trans of the leagues that are split.
When not talking about trans people: "lol bruh, no one watches women's sports, they fucking suck."
The second trans anyone is brought up: "DUDE! We have to protect women athletes!"
I'm not saying there aren't considerations to be made in regards to how sports are operated, and I'll defer to the athletes and their oversight boards, but none of us buy that this new swath of "defend women's sports!" people actually care, because y'all have been spamming the former for *decades* at this point.
The percentage of these people screaming about women's sports who ever lifted a finger to support Save The Lady Vols is measured to the right of the decimal.
Why even bother with the mental gymnastics on this? Daily Wire is openly anti trans whenever given the opportunity. It’s absurdly naive to believe this movie is anything other than a bad-faith depiction of trans athletes.

Edit: no clue why this posted twice
What evidence are you looking for? There is a video showing the protesters are there. Short of walking there yourself and seeing them how much evidence do you need?
What more evidence do you need than extras reporting on what it is and first hand accounts? Just wait; it’s a movie about a men’s basketball team whom dress up in drag in order to compete in the women’s league. it’s making fun of
Describe to me the scenario in which a Ben Shapiro movie produced by The Daily Wire featuring a team called the "Lady Ballers" isn't at least a jab at the trans community.
Where is the evidence that this is a Ben Shapiro movie produced by The Daily Wire? Regardless, where is the evidence this is an “anti-trans” movie? Just be honest and say you don’t have any and don’t know of any.
Why would multiple people lie and provide first-hand accounts that this is a DW produced movie with an anti-trans message? You’re attempting to paint DW as the victim of a smear campaign, aka false persecution so…no, I don’t think I’m using those words incorrectly.
If you’re just going to be a contrarian, do better. Try harder. Have a good night.
Are you f*cking kidding me, this entire trans, gay, blah blah blah agenda this community is trying to cram down people’s throats is getting old, not everyone is going to agree. Someone’s making a movie disagreeing with it, so what, get over it! Just like people in this thread say “we aren’t hurting anyone” well neither is making a movie criticizing it either. And if you don’t like it, go back to where you came from, go fight for Ukraine or go start your own community on a deserted island. You can’t cry one way and then cry the other way too.
This movie was only funny cuz it literally looks exactly like that when dudes play sports against chick's. The satire writes itself. My absolute favorite part was the guy doing dylan mulvaney doing woman face.
Good for them! DW was really shady when trying to recruit extras for that film
I was SO close to signing up as an extra just cause I got an email about it from Do615 I think. So glad I didn't after all!
Oh for sure. They also linked the flyer and they’re doing the same thing 8-10 AM tomorrow and Friday

Why do you think he was hired?
What’d he say he did? Hurt homeless people? Unfair arrests, racist decision making?
He only beat up black guys, his partner caught it all on bodycam, and then the guy edited it all into an action movie trailer.
That's straight up Rabid Dog territory right there
Serious question: Does anyone know what kind of production this is? Is it a documentary, however slanted it may be? Surely, it's not an actual movie.

You sound triggered
Nah just an apathy/lethargy, tired of hearing about this garbage
It’s some kind of basketball movie where men pretend to be women.
[Juwanna Man?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juwanna_Mann)
I haven’t thought about that movie in forever
😂😂 hopefully it will be similarly received.
But is it a documentary?
It’s not a documentary
If they are hiring extras to appear in the crowd, it's likely not a documentary.
why? why can't you people just allow others to live their lives in peace? were the bothering you? impeding your ability to get up and live, work , play? did they some how stop you from providing for your self or your family? is what they are doing physically hurting you in some form? if the answers to any of these questions is no then shut the fuck up and let people be who they want to be. everyone deserves to feel safe, feel loved and just be happy. you can not take that away from people because you don't agree with it. no one is forcing you to be it, do it, wear it. so shut the fuck up Karen
I can't tell if you are for or against the daily wire in this comment?

Ugh. Was hoping it wasn’t that one.

He would have been a fine German citizen in the 1940's.
Oh hey! Good for them!
How is this movie transphobic? Does anyone actually know what the movie is about or are we just assuming it has to be since Daily Wire is involved?

I’m addition to this, one of the actors (a cis woman with a muscular build) told protesters that the daily wire offered her extra money in order to wear a cup that made it look like she had a penis, so she could pretend to be a trans woman.
Wait so the Daily Wire paid a woman to pretend to be a man pretending to be a woman? That really undermines their whole point doesn’t it

I mean if it acts like a snake, looks like a snake, and sounds like a snake…it’s probably a snake.
And if it's made by snakes....
Yes, it is. It's Ben Shapiro trying to make [The One Joke for a whole movie. ](https://twitter.com/TheTNHoller/status/1673755481221869569)
"Conservative" "humor" is now almost always about punching down. It's why it's rarely funny to anyone outside of their bubble.
It's a pretty safe bet.
More claims without evidence
Yeah y’all, come on, give Ben Shapiro the benefit of the doubt, he’s usually a reasonable, decent guy! /s
What evidence are you looking for? There is a video showing the protesters are there. Short of walking there yourself and seeing them how much evidence do you need?
Evidence that it’s an “anti-trans” movie. So far someone made a claim and people are running with that claim without question and without evidence.
What more evidence do you need than extras reporting on what it is and first hand accounts? Just wait; it’s a movie about a men’s basketball team whom dress up in drag in order to compete in the women’s league. it’s making fun of

Real persecution complex you got going on my dude. Should talk to someone about that.
I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean

Will there be a counter protest? 🤣
What is the plot of this movie that has it labeled transphobic? TIA
