Is this a joke! Who cares

Grow up 😂

It is bullshit like this that some assholes use to say they are opposed to PC culture and have millions of people cheer for them. Holy shit people, pick your fucking battles. The education secretary slashed funds from special Olympics and this is what causes outrage?

If you think a person with a disability is evil, it is not because of a movie, it is because you're an asshole! Also, why is she evil? Lupita did not say the character is evil. The whole reason she chose that voice was because the character had a traumatic experience.

the always offended crowd at it again.

Good and evil is a moral construct the film does not actually discuss. They are simply characters who engage in violence for their own self liberation. Its largely because it's a horror movie that makes us want to over simplify into moral frameworks. Red isn't evil she's a victim

It wasn't an EVIL voice. It was a voice that sounds menacing bc of trauma from being choked. If you've seen the movie, you'd get that.

SPOILERS BELOW: If they watched the movie to the end, they would find that there's actually a reason in the plot why she speaks like a spasmodic dysphonia sufferer... Her larynx is injured as a kid. Larynx injury is a reason for that disability.

Kinda harsh criticism considering artists use inspiration that often has no direct relationship with the project they r on. If she wasn’t honest during interview then nobody complains.

How retarded is that? Also...Check out my comedy sketch about Kermit the Frog and the HeToo movement.

Imagine being offended by a funny voice hahahahaha You can’t please everyone !

one day we'll reach a point where just breathing can offend someone

They crazy, they should be under fire for history of slavery white supremacy and blackface.

Thanks

😂😂😂😂 amazing

Oh FFS
