#child acting industry

[raz-b-rose]

Honest question: are there any child actors that didn't grow up to be either freakish, drug addicts, morons or massive jerks? Or all of the above?

Yes! and that is all majorly due to parental involvement. These are my personal opinions and what I have seen from these four, that show me how they didn't let the grooming from the industry guide their lives.

Alyson Stoner is a huge spokesperson for child actor laws, and constantly calls out Disney and Nick for their "loopholes" around those laws, working children ragged. She also talks about how agents for those children try to convince them to emancipate themselves so they can work longer hours, "for their careers".

Dylan and Cole Sprouse are another great example. Their mom worked alongside them throughout their entire career at Disney, making sure they stayed well educated and they both graduated high school with really good grades. Cole was even an archeologist for a short time, both knowing they needed a break from acting to expand their horizons and focused solely on collage, and Dylan working in a meadery for a while.

Selina Gomez is another great example of parents who were hands on in everything. She came from a very family oriented home life, and even still speaks fondly of how important her family is. She left acting for a short while, but has also returned for a new series on Hulu. She defiantly focused on producing music, and just living a quiet life.

Basically you can spot them by which kids never left the medias attention, (Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, Macaulay Culkin, ect) however everyone of them is still influence by their environment, and I'm sure some of them have made mistakes in someway, but had a great support system in place to help them out of any mistakes.

Just because some of these children turned adults made some pretty harsh mistakes, that have affected years of their lives, doesn't mean they are any less human. They are adults now, held to the expectation of responsibility, but drug addiction is harsher than most addictions, because it affects you not just mentally, but physically too.

I am upset at the adults in their lives that took advantage of them, but they can either choose to let that control their lives, or they can learn from it and choose who they want to be from here on out. And some have chosen respectable careers and standards, while others have chosen to embrace everything thats wrong with the industry thinking it makes them "adult" and proving their not a child actor anymore.

ngl i really fucking hate the disparity between the way people treat gerard and lindsey in bandom

#i might elaborate on this later if i dont get burned at the stake or whatever but #fucking hell is it frustrating to witness the demonization of a woman in the music industry and the infantilization of a grown ass man #im not saying lindsey is a good person or that the allegations are irrelevant. #im saying shes SOMEWHAT unfairly demonized for affiliating with msi while gerard is treated like a paragon of innocence #despite being married to her and having a whole ass child with her #if anything he's equally as affiliated with msi as she is and unapologetically supportive of her and her career #but people act like she's some bitch that's manipulating and controlling their poor sassy uwu baby and that he deserves better #fucking!! frustrating!!!!! #mcr #my chemical romance #msi #mindless self indulgence #gerard way #lindsey way #asia.txt

Normalize holding adult actors accountable for taking roles they had no reason taking.

I’m sick of y’all going “oh but this is their big break” “they’re just doing what their agent told them to do” “they’re innocent and don’t know any better”

These are adults. If we were talking about child actors that would be different. But these are grown people who actually do, in fact, know better and could have easily denied the roles.

Or, even better, not even audition for them in the fucking first place.

I’m sick of white/white passing people playing characters of color and stealing roles from POC.

-

No, I’m not saying we should bully and harass these actors. But don’t sit here and act like they didn’t do anything wrong.

#monster high #lilo and stich #fate the winx saga #y’all are ridiculous #these people aren’t innocent #hello??? #we shouldn’t go spamming and harassing them on social media #but like #making posts and bringing awareness to this actually really big fucking problem in the acting industry isn’t the same as harassment #again if these were child actors it would be different #but these are ADULTS

Idk if it can be considered as fandom stuff, but I really want to know:

Why children acting in films isn't discussed as something wrong to do?

Like, if it's important to fight to end child labor, why almost no one bats an eye on it?

I can assure you plenty of people bat an eye at it.

While discussions about things like child labor laws and protections in regards to underage performers may seem drowned out by subjects like the SAAG strikes and the crew-company strikes and rights actions right now, child labor laws and protections for underage performers is still very much a prominent topic in the industry, especially as more and more past-child-actors come forward with their stories.

While we are far from a perfect state regarding the protection of child actors and their obligations and abilities within the industry, we have also seen several improvements and changes. Restrictive changes to how many hours they can work within a certain timeframe, changes to how they are represented and advocated for and changes to conflicts between performing and education are all things we have seen in the last decade.

I don't view children being employed as actors as inherently a "wrong thing to do." However I absolutely and firmly acknowledge that child acting is a fucking minefield of exploitation and expectations. We are absolutely nowhere near a point where we can say that the majority of our activism for child actors has been fulfilled.

Often, expectations for child actors fall victim to the same pressure and demands of the entire Hollywood industry; churning out content as fast as possible on minimum cost. Crews are pushed to work 90 hour weeks, actors are pushed to work 14+ hour shifts, deadlines are made as tight as possible. The issues many child actors face are not necessarily exclusive to underage performers; they are broader issues faced by employees and workers within the industry as a whole.

There are still many groups and individuals campaigning for better protections and quality of treatment and advocacy regarding children in the film and performance industries, however. And like with any cause there are always ways you can support them to help further the cause. I suggest looking up the child performer laws in your area and seeing where you can lend aid.

The show definitely did not ever think the Amsterdam sex thing was as serious a problem as the audience did and they 100% did not consider it sexual assault, just something a bit shady. Why they did this, I don't know, but I guess they just needed an Amsterdam- related "slightly shitty thing" for James to have done, and Amsterdam is famous for that. Given that 14 isn't seen as that young to start having sex for kids like Jamie, from that kind of British culture, I truly don't think the writers ever saw it as the same level of awful abuse that we did as the audience.

it really is so fucked. the double standard and the broken system that unfortunately trickles down into every industry is still alive and well.

AGAIN #like. lynette. you are in your mid to late 40s. youve raised 4 children and are finally getting your oldests out of the house #you only recently reentered the workforce #your husband is struggling so hard to get a job he decided to go back to college to learn mandarin to get a leg up in the industry??? #LYNETTE.

Genocide is when people are killed. Nothing else. Killed. Physically are made to die for qualities of their birth. Stop calling things genocide because they make you uncomfortable

Removing children from Native homes and putting them in non-Native homes is an act of genocide.

I made this for one of those oc polls like so long ago and i dont think it ever went through so the tumblr poll NDA has long past and i can post my darling little boy: my A3 OC Teru Mamoshi!

A child actor focused on action movies. He gets recruited by a future au Tenma who takes him under his wing after concerns over the stunts he does for his movies.

#A3 oc #Teru Mamoshi #tenma watching a child go through the meat grinder of the acting industry #and going NOT ON MY WATCH #because tenma can be a responsible adult. I believe in him. #i have a whole thing for teru and his neo neo summer troupe buddies but its a matter of organizing and posting it tbh #do i tag this as A3? im not going to i think #im posting this for me and no one else #specifically so i can find it easier

Am I the only one not surprised by how dark shit got at Nickelodeon? Is it just because I'm old enough to remember the feet thing and Amanda Bynes going off the rails for a while as a teenager and was like 'yeah somebody high up is totally fucking up at least one child' and not surprised when it got covered up only to blow up now and hopefully have consequnces?

#i am old now? #or jsut too jaded about powerful men in the entertainment industry taking advantage? #but also i feel liek we've known for a while now??? #did everyone else jsut forget??? #or did I just not fall for hte coverup? #amanda bynes is my childhood #but even I knew child acting was hurting her in reality

ok i've been called a sex freak tranny too i get where you're coming from but like also please be more careful with extremely vague posts about Problematic Kinks

no. people's openness about what two consenting adults can do in private has no bearing on how likely they are to be child abusers or close ranks about child abusers & thinking there is some correlation is a sign that your stance on sexual abuse is mediated more by disgust reaction and aesthetic associations than by structural analysis. there is a pretty hard and obvious line between not condemming consensual sex acts between adults and being a pedophile and thinking that it's some sort of spectrum or slippery slope there imo speaks poorly to your conceptualization of why SA is a bad thing.

people love to say that X or Y kink Normalizes Abuse, but, like, actually think about communities where sexual abuse is 'normalized' in society. is the problem with the catholic church that it's too pro-kink? is the problem with US professional gymnastics that it's too pro-kink? is the problem with the amish that they're too pro-kink? was the problem with the british entertainment industry in the 1970s that it was too pro-kink? is the problem with the prison system that it's too pro-kink? &c. &c. &c.

sexual abuse doesn't happen because people are degenerate perverts and everyone is too accepting of that, sexual abuse happens because society is full of institutions that give adults structural power over children and men structural power over women. giving credence to the former, even in the form of thinking you have to be "super careful" about perverts, is a straightforwardly reactionary position.

I've also been thinking about Rinoll a lot recently and like. Guys she. She kinda wins in the end? SPECIFICALLY in regards to her relationship with Chocip. She gets what she wants in the end with NO consequence. Dude.

#Sure. Her main goal with him was to make Bianca jealous by dating a doting man of high status and wealth #and THAT failed bc Bianca doesnt give af #But like #Her other goal is to see how far she can fuck up Chocip's life by dating him #Because she knows his family act like this is medevial times and not being with someone of equal or higher status is like #the plague #And she also knows Chocip is the favorite son of the family #And frankly. She knows damn well the family members he care about hate her for exisitng #so she just wants to see if she can make him fall from their grace #Show that he's not a golden child at his grown age. Show that he's no better than his 'trash' siblings. #Let him face the trials and tribulations of wanting to be with someone you love when the ppl around you aren't supportive... #... and ultimately break his heart after all the effort he went through #AND SHE FUCKING DOES THAT. SHE GETS EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTED HERE #And may say 'Well clearly she's gonna suffer consequences bc his family is powerful + rich!' #WELL. 1) just wait and see his relationship w/ his parents after this and 2) Rinoll is literally Just A Gal #She doesn't even live in Creamcrest. Nor is she involved in anything like modeling or the business industry #Rubia and Trige can't ruin her rep bc she's not apart of the 1% and they can't blacklist her bc SHES NOT GETTING A JOB IN CREAMCREST ANYWAY #NOR IS SHE GONNA TRY TO BECOME A MODEL OR WORK FOR A SISTER COMPANY TO RUBIA'S!!!!! #NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO IT DOESNT MATTER. BC SHE'S NOT APART OF THE SUPERFICIAL DRAMA WORLD THE DAZS FAMILY IS APART OF #SHE'S NORMAL! SHE'S A NORMAL PERSON WHO GOES TO ART SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRYSIDE! NO ONE CARES ABT SOCIAL STATUS ROUND THESE PARTS #Much less from fucking Creamcrest of all people #GUYS. RINOLL WINS. JUST THIS ONCE SHE WINS. AND ITS CRAZYYYY DFGHJKHYGHJ #Hate to say it but. Queen.

I know I already made a post about this. But ICWA is LITERALLY being challenged by a white couple that wants to adopt indigenous children to erase their culture and Christianize them. The tribe, whom has a say in who can take their children, is like "Nah, we don't want our youth Christianized like you tride last time"

And the lawyer that's helping the white couple try to overturn ICWA (so that they can erase the cultures of indigenous children) is doing it pro-bono (which means he's not charging the couple anything).

AND that lawyer is a big time lawyer whose clients are usually oil and gas industries. He's literally fighting for indigenous children to be ripped from their tribes and culture so there's less indigenous people to protest big oil destroying their sacred land.
