I haven’t seen her post anything about Trump. I don’t think that’s an accurate characterization.

She's saying she's not right or left, etc., is not political. But really read her stuff, and she is clearly saying things will be great under the new administration, freedom, etc. She's a fan.

Many of us are.

I was so disappointed and disgusted when she posted the "I've been muzzled" etc. crap after the election. Out of the blue.

I'd been following her on IG for her strong and well-informed advocacy against the eventual use of AI to replace or augment actors in films and TV. That subject is pretty much 100 percent of her IG presence -- until Nov. 5. She is actually knowledgeable about the many plans in studios to use AI much more extensively as soon as possible technologically. She was, maybe still is for now, the official adviser to the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA, on AI concerns. She earned a degree in computer science and digital media management, so she has tech background for what she's talking about, which gave her even more credence.

And then, that post about being muzzled etc.

She was so right about AI and so good at reminding everyone that studios crave it, at the eventual expense of actors. But she's undone that work, I think, by this sudden focus on feeling WTF ever this is she's claiming now. It's a pity, because AI is a genuine future threat to acting, but she's not going to be listened to on that topic by her peers or studios, after this dumb self-outing. Should they still listen, and not let her now obvious political leanings affect discussion on AI? Probably, but she's tanked her credibility with a lot of people. For nothing, because I can't figure how she was held back, since she's not an active actor liable to lose roles for her politics.

What a simpleton. You want to write her off before she even says what she wants to say? Maybe you will actually agree but you’re too close minded to even listen.

Have you yourself followed her social media and read her interviews over the past two years, PP? I have, because of following the AI issues I mention. If you haven't actually been reading any of her posts before now, or you know nothing about her except her post-election announcements, you really have no standing to opine on my writing her off or not. Nice try at bring performatively "open minded" on your part, though.

Do you know what she plans to say next? Englighten us.

So what? If it’s not for you then ignore her. But she’s allowed to state whatever her opinions are even if you disagree. Because clearly many others may agree. The election should have taught you that what you consider fringe is pretty mainstream.

She’s a computer scientist and an advocate for protecting Hollywood from AI. She’s smart, articulate, and brave. I admire her and, like her, believe in free speech and the end to woke culture.

You should see her posts on X. She reposts videos, like TikTok, of people much younger than her complaining about the election, their feelings, etc and pretty much mocks. There are *so* many that I wondered whether something was wrong with Justine. I unfollowed her because I was drowning in stupid stuff.
By contrast, her thought on AI and the arts and beauty and aging are interesting.

She seemed happy with the election results.

So are many of us. Doesn’t mean we’re “Trumpettes”, it means we don’t approve of the direction the democrats have been going. The pendulum swings.

What is this ‘woke culture’ you speak of?
What is this boogeyman that is so bad?
Being respectful of people?
Not being insulting and insensitive to people due to race, gender, religion, etc???
Being considerate of all people is a bad thing?
That is truly sad.

They are pretty mock-worthy. If you’re going to film yourself having a complete meltdown over the election and post on TikTok, you’ve opened yourself up to criticism.

Ah, if only it were about being respectful. If that were the case, we wouldn’t have Trump as president, would we?

The sheer volume of what she’s posting though? Kind of nuts herself.

Cool, this thread is about Justine. If you want to talk about how you feel about the new administration, take it to politics.

She’s happy in the same way the majority of the country is.

Celebrities have been making their liberal stances known for decades and they are given a pass, yet a celebrity dares to voice centrists ideals and she is attacked viciously.

And can you blame them? Look how this woman is being attacked even though there is a long history of celebrities voicing their opinions on political matters.
People are even putting down her looks which is vile.
