What Do These Celebrities Have In Common: Self Respect

[@zztread]

What’s crazy is there are people that think it’s not possible to have fun without being drunk or high

[@taylormoore7031]

No literally. Like theres so much more to life. I can see drinking on occasion. I really like this taste of this one apple flavoured beer (its better than apple juice ngl) so occasionally ill have a glass or half a glass after work which i think is acceptable or if you occasionally drink with friends but when every single hangout or event you need to be hammered I personally think thats a problem but society accepts it. I have only gotten drunk once, tipsy maybe twice but i have so many friends that will only hangout with people if they can drink. Like they genuinely believe you cant have fun unless you’re drinking or playing video games. On the other hand my friends who refuse to or cant drink, ive went on so many wonderful adventures with. Most of my favourite memories are with them where again, i was completely sober. Like yeah drinking can be fun but there is so much more to life

We were planning to meet last year and they were talking about outfits, then one brought up the fact that I don't wear short dresses and skirts, or any skin for that matter 😅: I even hate ripped jeans.

If you want to go on without any of those things that's fine to. But take Brett's advice and don't try to force this idea of what maturity is onto people who don't want it. They are an individual, who has the right and freedom to make their own choices without your approval.

I'm not sure all of them are created equal. Something that congratulates itself on being scandalous and celebrating hedonist might be different to a scene that shows dysfunction, self loathing, or abuse. If you're dealing in storytelling, you probably want a scene that shows something that you couldn't convey via conversation or poetic means. That might be a different endeavour to a scene where the director thinks it's important for the audience to know how hot an actor is or whether they have the flexibility of an olympic gymnast as they flap about. The stark failure of such scenes would be if a different film conveyed more depth without them.

[@Youtoober1979]

THIS! I have never understood people who want to watch others fornicate, it’s weirdly perverted. I always fast forward through it. And it is most certainly not needed for storytelling, they’ve proved that decades earlier, so that excuse isn’t shit.

[@justatg]

it's so refreshing to see Miranda say that, especially since we know about the Nickelodeon & Disney "off the rails" child stars phenomenon. Multiple Nickelodeon stars have revealed that they were often high or drinking while on set. Others have said they did pills and often had sex with their co-stars between set breaks. All of this happening while they were 13-17 surrounded by adults is very disturbing. Also the multiple stars that were reportedly assaulted by the execs on their sets.. It's just good to see that Miranda maintained some level of innocence knowing the things that were happening to others from the same network/shows as her.

[@JamaicaZ160R1793010A]

So those were real. I guess it speaks to the darkness behind the scenes and how Hollywood was a dark place. Great that Miranda Cosgrove was better than that. After all, she couldn't save who was lost but could keep herself safe.

She’s the sweetest, and she genuinely tried being there for Jennette when her mom was abusing her and wished her well with her career after not wanting to do the reboot.

She is somebody who is respected in the industry and has never had any work done, probably because of the benefits of her simple lifestyle as well as not wanting to look plastic. The idiotic comments are to be expected, since most girls are on OF before they even finish high school and are actually proud of partying and having high body counts.

The pressures to drink and 'be fun' is honestly what pushed me from barely drinking to being drunk nearly every night, crying myself to sleep when I was in my deepest depression. When I pulled away from my other drinking friends who kept pressuring me every day, I very easily stopped drinking to drown my emotions out and now I'm trying to find what works for me- whether that's sobriety or maybe a glass of wine every once in awhile. Still searching for that balance but so happy and relieved to be on the other side of that darkness!

Great conversation happening here. It's rather unfortunate that we live in a world that doesn't value personal choices, especially when such choices go against the norm. It's high time we started celebrating those like Julia and Miranda who maintain their values even in difficult contexts like Hollywood.

[@Whispn]

I have noticed this attitude in general lately. If you choose to do something good, its taken as shaming others, even when those others pretend to not see it as better. I first noticed this when I was pregnant. I said, "I'm planning to breastfeed." I was told I was mom shaming those that chose formula. God forbid I gave reasons for my choice. This is another example of the same thing. Julia Roberts says she doesn't want to be nude in film and people say she's shaming actors that do. God forbid if she gave moral reasoning for her decision! Same with Miranda! The narrative sounds a hell of a lot like projection to me.

[@kadygirlforever]

I wanted to breastfeed but my baby was premature and my body couldn’t keep up. I had “breast is best” pushed on me by people that couldn’t comprehend it was literally impossible for me. Life humbles us to realize the grey in situations. No way would I ever judge a mom for her decision, either way. We moms all have our reasons and yours should’ve just been respected.❤

I don't have tattoos, I have never even had tea or coffee. I have always dressed modestly. I have been sunburned like 3 times in my life, and not badly (I avoid the sun). I've done skincare since 11. Part of that is cos I'm LDS (but not american) but part of it that I'm genuinely not interested in doing those things. I've seen how it negatively affects people and I chose different. It's really comforting to see so many other millenials and gen z who are choosing the same and seeing that those things aren't good!! I was very much bullied and mocked throughout my entire life, but I've got the last laugh cos everyone was very surprised at the HS reunion because I apparently am a vampire and "haven't aged", and everyone was jealous (including my old bullies 👀) and asked for my skincare routine.... they weren't impressed when I said "avoiding the sun and never drinking" 😂 (ironically I have a 21 year old brother who DOES drink and do drugs and people already think I'm younger than him.... )

And I find all these things fun and rewarding. When I do have my own free time I hangout with my friends or my boyfriend so I’m still having fun once and awhile and just chilling out. The people that do party have bad grades, and usually fail at their sports because their bodies are literally falling apart. So how is my life worse?

It’s simply choosing to be innocent and pure! I am exactly the same and I am now 31! Why is that wrong and foreign? That’s the way I believe we should be! But it’s still every persons individual choice. Honestly I think people who hate on people like Julia and I are just jealous because they lack purity and innocence and wish they could go back and take back their regrets and these morals convict them because they feel threatened by the idea that they are living wrong. Also, being pure takes far more strength and self control than going along with what everyone else is doing! That’s real women empowerment and inspiration! Just saying.
