[@noorz29]

Seen a lot of hate on Rachel and now I can't help but think some of it was taken out of context or overanalyzed because she seems amazing and hilarious and very down to earth.

[@parasol3561]

No literally, there is an over-exaggeration of her character just because of what she said they’re changing about Snow White, like the worst Disney princess movie, and people got mad

[@swaggery]

It's because she keeps talking about how much she hates Snow White, while playing the character Snow White. So no there wasn't, she intentionally tried to sabotage her own acting career and is paying the price for that.

[@noorz29]

@swaggery no ik what u mean because I didn't like her either exactly because of that. But then I'm watching other vids and she seems different so idk if it's a pr thing or if there's more hate on her than required or what.

[@serahbay8864]

she's been far more humble and sweet throughout the Hunger Games press tour, which means her PR team most likely coached her to repair her image. idk how much of this new attitude is genuine, but it has definitely helped shift my perception of her a little.

[@ITZ_VIOLET_]

It’s different pr teams. You can notice a difference in her interviews. I think ppl forget everything actors say for pr interviews is scripted, meaning none of the stuff she is getting hate for is actually her.

[@aliceverity1617]

The thing is those Snow White clips were taken out of context and completely ignored all the other times she showed so much love and excitement to play the character. But the click bait of hate instead of support gets so much more interaction. If you watch the clips back she didn’t even say anything too bad, just that it scared her as a kid and it’s outdated. She is such a sweet human and did not deserve the level of hate he got. I’m so glad people are seeing her for who she is now!!
