Summit1g under fire for political correctness debate over Scarlett Johansson controversy Summit1g – Twitter \/ Hot OnesTwitch streamer Jaryd \u2018Summit1g\u2018 Lazar upset a lot of fans and fellow streamers on July 14 after ranting about political correctness, a day after actress Scarlett Johansson said she should be able \u2018allowed to play any person\u2019 in movies. Summit had a controversial Sunday afternoon on Twitter as he battled with fans all day about how actors should be able to play any role they want. The tweets started with an initial tweet revealing he argued with his girlfriend and her friends over the comments uttered by actress Scarlett Johansson. \u201cJust got done arguing with my girlfriend and her friends over this stupid Scarlett shit,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI\u2019ll never understand the other side of this argument. I\u2019m blown away.\u201d Several fans and streamers tried their best to explain the other side of the argument, but it\u2019s clear that Summit wasn\u2019t going to have any of it. Just got done arguing w\/ my gf and her friends over this stupid Scarlett shit. I\u2019ll never understand the other side of this argument. I\u2019m blown away. \u2014 summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 Twitch partner AnneMunition tried to explain it by giving an analogy of Twitch looking for someone just like Summit, but they hired her instead. \u201cOkay so imagine Twitch has a big sponsored thing they\u2019re doing and they need a guy name Jaryd from Colorado who\u2019s about 30 years old, excels at FPS games and looks good in snapback,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd you\u2019re like, score. that\u2019s literally me. Now imagine Twitch hires me to do it instead.\u201d okay so imagine Twitch has a big sponsored thing they’re doing and they need a guy named Jaryd from Colorado who’s about 30 years old, excels at FPS games and looks good in a snapback. and you’re like, score, that’s literally me now imagine Twitch hires me to do it instead \u2014 Anne Munition (@AnneMunition) July 14, 2019 Streamer FemSteph piggy-backed on that idea by comparing it to if somebody had to play the role of President Obama. \u201cWould it be weird if Matt Damon played the role of Obama in a movie,\u201d she asked. \u201cBased off your argument, he\u2019s a great actor and so it shouldn\u2019t be an issue, right?\u201d Summit responded saying he would be okay with that. \u201cRoles have been (taken) by other races and sex and I\u2019m fine with it.\u201d Lol\u2026roles have been takin by other races and sex and I\u2019m fine with it. \u2014 summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 TriHex tried to explain to Summit that while Johansson is a top-tier actor and has the right to play anything, it is saddening to him when he sees a genuine opportunity for some to play an LGBTQ role, but it goes to a straight male or female. Summit countered by saying it should be about the money they bring in above all else, and said that\u2019s all it boils down to. https:\/\/t.co\/dgjKN4L2TG I’ll try my best to help: Scarlette Johanson technically has the right to play\/depict anything she chooses or has the opportunity to do so. However, this is under the assumption others from various disenfranchised backgrounds would too. They don’t. (1\/6) \u2014 RIP Etika :pray: (@trihex) July 14, 2019 You don\u2019t get special treatment just cuz. Show why you can make the money for the movie. That\u2019s all it comes down to. \u2014 summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 He ended the discussion on Twitter by saying his agent told him to. \u201cAgent told me to stfu now,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll end with this. It\u2019s a fucking movie. GGs good talks.\u201d Agent told me to stfu now. I\u2019ll end with this. It\u2019s a fucking movie. GGs good talks. \u2014 summit1g (@summit1g) July 14, 2019 This will likely not be the last we hear of the situation so we\u2019ll keep you posted on what develops next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
