- Donald Glover has had the internet talking since the release of his new series on Amazon Prime called Swarm.
- Now, people are criticizing Donald Glover over the advice he gave Dominique Fishback about how she should approach her character Dre in the series.
- Glover said in his interview with Vulture, "I kept telling her, 'You’re not regular people. You don’t have to find the humanity in your character. That’s the audience’s job.'"
- He continued, "She really was lost a lot of the time. Think of it more like an animal and less like a person … Actors, in general, they want to get layered performances. And I don’t think Dre is that layered."
- He added, "I wanted her performance to be brutal. It’s a raw thing. It reminds me of how I have a fear with dogs because I’m like, 'You’re not looking at me in the eye, I don’t know what you’re capable of.'"
- Many people were upset over Donald Glover's advice to Fishback and called him out online.
- One person said, "Every time something comes out about Donald Glover and his hatred for black women, I just can’t help but remember the time he said he gets turned on by white women calling him the hard r and how he had an entire Tumblr where he pretended to be an Asian woman."
- Another person added, "This is why we need not continue elevating people with a proven record of harboring internalized anti-Blackness or being problematic in our community. Any project he’s involved in is going to bear the mark of his biases, regardless of whomever else he’s collaborating with."
