The sons that were ageing out of the foster system that she brought into her family? 52 minutes ago, Reez said: 2. She adopted two black sons. I'm not saying she's racist as I have not seen anything to prove so but can we stop using this as a point to prove she isn't? Adopting black kids does not absolve you from being racist just like dating/marrying/being friends with someone whose black doesn't stop you from being racist. Tons of black kids are adopted by racist people who in the end treat them like trash. Once again though, I have not seen anything to prove she's racist but the kids situation does not prove she isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then find another autistic actress? the fact that she thinks all autistic people with “her level of functioning” are all the same is literally ableist. she chose to make her own life easier by working with Maddie and this “I was rehearsing with one actress who found it stressful” sounds like a poor excuse to just work with Maddie. she basically just said all autistic people “with that level of functioning” are difficult to work with so she’d rather not even try please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans make mistakes everytime. If it's difficult to even acknowlegde those mistakes when you're a random person, I can't even imagine the pressures for a public figure to make things 100% right and yet being judged by some anonymous people behind the screens. I bet most people that are asking to cancel her didn't even know autism came in different spectrums, yet they are ready to attack and display hatred and nonsense. I am autistic and I don't think she deserves to be cancelled for using NT actors for playing autistic people, she deserves to be cancelled because of her attitude, she acted like a brat with autistic people, that just means she never really cared about autism, she just wants the promo from supporting a cause that is "trendy" now. I am authistic, so don't be offended if I make a mess sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the role went to a random actor then it might not have been picked up on, but Sia cast her pet project/protégée (with whom she has an inappropriate relationship IMO) it's called acting for a reason. You don't have to be autistic to have a role of autistic person, same goes for being straight, gay, etc... Also those last claims you made are not it.

Actors can play roles of people with autism. This is not a documentary. She wanted to show that exact type of autism and it would not be possible with person who actually has it.

REALITY 76,326 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Can y'all cancel people who actually deserve to be cancelled? Jesus ****ing Christ. The terms "racist," "homophobic," "sexist," etc. are used so liberally, it's so annoying. Is it bad optics? Sure, maybe. But Sia is not a racist person If y'all can defend Gaga doing this: then there's no reason to go after Sia. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sia literally prevented her from accepting Epstein's offer to accompany him to his island. Maddie was/is too young to know about the business she's a part of, Sia helps her with that and she owes her a lot for that.

She has already explained herself for all the things that have been posted here. She's one of the most inclusive artists today and people will try to find the smallest detail to bring it up on Twitter and "cancel" her. I felt bad for her that her movie was getting dumped on when it clearly was well intended... But then she told an autistic actor on Twitter “maybe you’re just sh** at acting” or something to that effect and I was like 😬. If you’re mean and dumb enough to say something like that maybe you DO deserve to be cancelled. building a daydream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
