🎠“No one cares about ballet or opera.”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
One comment from Timothée Chalamet → outrage, headlines, Oscar speculation.
Meanwhile…
Leaders in positions of real power say (and do) far worse—with far fewer consequences.
Interesting, isn’t it?
This isn’t about Chalamet.
It’s about the expectations we place on young, successful artists:
→ Be talented
→ Be famous
→ Be insightful
→ Be flawless
All at once. At 25. Or 30. Or 20.
Most of them are just that—young.
Learning. Figuring it out. In public.
And yet, we hold them to a higher standard than CEOs or politicians whose decisions actually shape lives.
I wrote a piece on this double standard—and why our outrage might be…misdirected.
💠Maybe the issue isn’t what he said.
It’s what we choose to care about.
