#i have seen we’re the millers - midsommar - maze runner

[insideyourimagination]

you know what it is…it’s the fact that will has been open about having OCD, anxiety, depression, dyspraxia and having su*c*d*l thoughts that i admire so much. being diagnosed with a learning disability (dyscalculia) and having depression & anxiety and dealing with su*c*d*l thoughts myself, it just makes me feel so seen.

Okay but real talk here about Will Poulter joining the MCU.

If I see any of you saying Will Poulter is “ugly”, calling him names, sending him hate or abuse, or otherwise being absolute dicks about him, I will personally be throwing hands.

I saw what happened after Bandersnatch came out, and it was to the point that Will actually had to take a step back from social media because people were sending him hateful messages calling him “ugly” and being generally awful. It’s so shitty to see not because I’m a fan of him (I am though), but because he is an incredible human being who is involved with anti-bullying charities (including being an ambassador for AntiBullyingPro) and has been for several years, has publicly acknowledged in MULTIPLE occasions that he has privilege as a white man, he tries to use that privilege he has to raise awareness of various issues, he promoted a book that is “an autism friendly story that encourages empathy, understanding and kindness” (by a group that aims to bring inclusivity and representation to children’s stories), he’s actively anti-racist and pro-BLM and using his platform on social media to do this, he works with multiple different charities… he is literally such a good person, and yet people are just focusing on how he looks.

Already I’ve seen it: people whining and complaining that he’s been cast as Adam Warlock and “why didn’t they cast _____ instead???” Etc. Will is extremely talented as an actor and wonderful, and he absolutely kills every single role he plays: Eustace in Narnia, Kenny in We’re the Millers, Jim Bridger in The Revenant, Krauss in Detroit, Gally in Maze Runner, Colin in Bandersnatch, Mark in Midsommar, Andrew/Anthony/Abraham in the Dark Pictures: Little Hope game etc etc. He has played so many roles in so many different types of films and projects, and he slays all of them - this will be no different.

And actually, you know what? To be quite brutally honest, I don’t understand how people are looking at him and deciding “lol he’s not hot” or “he’s ugly” when he is absolutely not “ugly” in the slightest?!? Have you seen him?!? Are you not using your eyes?!?

In short, please don’t be assholes. Will Poulter deserves the absolute world and nothing less.
