Actor talks against #woke #trigger warnings for fundamental failure to understand theatre

There is a fundamental failure to grasp what the #theatre is: not a model for behaviour but a crucible in which we look at what it is to be human.

It's because that is what most people are only believed to be capable of understanding. Which may be true for a proportion but if alternatives are never aired widely nobody will ever know if these are understood. #patronising
There's always a reason for politicians saying and doing things and it usually leads back to power, influence & gain for them.

This is what I want to tell everyone using their smartphone camera on the streets, getting lots of strangers (inculding me) on their clips which they then publish on IG, TT, you name it:

“Please don’t film me!”

Oh I can't believe such foul language 😂🤣

Next time shove that #patronising tone up your #lightning port, will you my dear?

Doing without the feast of #patronising that is the #LateLateToyShow this year. Love the kids, but I can't stand the presentation
