Over the past year or so, I've developed this...'thing' where I get really stressed about the actors in the movies and shows I watch. I'm always wondering if they're safe, if they're being paid well, if they're actually happy with their work or am I just sitting in my room eating snacks and enjoying their suffering...
This goes for voice actors, too. I remember I read last year that Ruby Rose's voice actor had CHILDREN and I practically had an aneurysm. Like, what are we doing bothering this poor mother?! OMG guys she has too much on her plate already we're horrible people we're ruining her family!!!1!!
I know it's irrational...like, no one can really expect an actor to have a perfect, problem-free life, especially concerning their work...and strangely enough, I don't have these same anxiety outbursts about writers/artists...maybe because I kind of am one, and I already know how hellish it can get even before it becomes your livelihood? ^^; There's nothing to fear when it isn't a surprise, I guess.
...Also, on the flipside, I get REALLY worried about actors that might be doing bad things...like being serial abusers or closet racists, things like that. Or worse things... (And that goes for everyone; writers and artists included.)
Again, this is irrational. Like the title says, they're people, and plenty of people aren't nice. It's the way of the world...but it's still a paralyzing fear. I mean, I fangirl about characters so easily!! What happens when I shout to the world that a certain someone is dear to my heart, and it turns out that the person responsible for bringing to them to life is a..
...I don't even want to think about it...
I can't stop...this is how it's gonna be for the rest of my life; might as well accept it now...I mean, this morning I learned that I live in a world where even JK freaking Rowling has PR issues...the hope has officially died...
