A thread to clarify for all of you spectacularly missing the point here - devils, wizards, murderers, pirates, trees and so on can and should be played by any actor because that's acting. Actors play people and creatures who are the opposite of who they are in reality.

But...

Trans people, people of colour, disabled people and those from marginalised groups are real and human and those people can indeed be - gasp - actors.

No one is debating what acting is and should be and can be.

No one is saying you CAN'T play those people - what they're saying is maybe you should take a step back, check your privilege and pass the baton to a fellow actor from that group of ACTUAL HUMANS and give them a chance.
