You're kidding me? This is just another example of the Over-The-Top Political Correctness that has hypnotized the Left in recent years. SJW's have become the Left Wing equivalent of Right Wing White Supremacists, desperately trying to oppress any speech or artistic expression they disagree with.
By... expressing opinions and raising questions about art?

Scarlett could easily have gone ahead with the role and gotten her paycheck. The filmmakers would have gotten theirs too, although perhaps with smaller box-office returns.

Making commercial art is an attempt to appeal to an audience. The audience for a movie about a trans character is very likely to have opinions about the representation of trans characters. (I kind of doubt the MAGA crowd was buying tickets in advance for this one.)

This isn't oppression by any stretch of imagination. No one stopped them from doing what they wanted. Instead, it became clear that they weren't going to get a warm buy-in from relevant tastemakers. That's something they surely wanted, but it's not something they can claim to have a right to.

I, for one, can't believe they let Tom Hanks play that guy with AIDS instead of finding someone that really had the disease. Plenty of actors with AIDS, I'm guessing. :pop:

They could have at least given him aids.

Were you planning on seeing Rub and Tug, DD? I'm sure there is a target audience, are you in it? That's when film makers might start caring what you or I think. If you are in the target audience, you can probably contact them and let them know how you feel. If you're not, well, I'm sure they'd be very interested in your opinion anyway. :P

Let's face is, if your target audience is protesting before the movie is even released, you have a problem that has nothing to do with SJW.

After Johansson pulled out, the movie appears to be on life support.
In the wake of Scarlett Johansson bowing out of the project earlier this week, it looks like the proposed biopic “Rub and Tug” has also been shelved.

...

The outlet says Sanders is still attached to direct, but without Johansson’s involvement it’s likely not enough to move forward and confirms – whether one likes it or not – her name was the only selling factor of the project rather than the story itself.
