If any movie has that Scientology nutcase in them, I won't watch it

If you watch a pirated movie, he does not earn a dime off you.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Same if you don't watch a pirated movie tho 🤷‍♂️

This is one of those really rare cases where you shouldn’t seed to 1:1.

Why not? He might be an asshole, but he's a damn good actor.

Prpbably the chain of reasoning OP follows:

Watch Movie -> Studio gets Money -> Tom Cruise gets Money -> Tom Cruise donates Scientology Money

I understand why they wouldn't spend money on it, not watching it entirely is then just a more extreme form of this where you also don't contribute to public interest in the movie

I don't even find him to be a good actor, too generic and cookie cutter. Not my cup of tea. I watch movie es to see different characters, not him doing the same thing. He WAS good, but all his more recent stuff is just the same role with a different name.

Whilst all religions have bad actors, Scientology is a masterclass of bad actors. A bad Christian, Jew, Bhuddist etc., is clearly an outlier and doesn't represent a faithfull. Scientolgoy charges fee's to be a ranked member and has BS tech devices. As a whole, Scientology has bad eggs baked in across the board

And followers of other world religions aren't nutcases? Your boycott list must be wrapped around the block.

Does it really bother you that I think he's a terrible actor and used religion as another reasoning..

My boycott list is huge though..yeah. Walmart's even on it
