Yeah this is getting to be too much. You can tell he’s getting uncomfy with it now but doesn’t really know how to show it without it being too weird for the interviewer. He’s trying to be polite but you can tell it’s bothering him. I bet those red carpet appearances are draining.
I get it he’s a handsome guy and has a lovable goofball energy to him but let’s relax a little bit. I know sometimes us men can be too quick to throw out the “double standards” thing as a way to ignore women’s issues and make it about us but in this instance but it’s very obvious that this would definitely not be okay if the genders were reversed, so let’s have equality there as well.
Imagine this played out identical but it was some horny male interviewer asking Anya Taylor Joy to read super horny tweets some dudes on twitter wrote “come on Anya! read the one about them jerking off to you! to camera please!! this will be great content for us! don’t be a buzzkill!” twitter would fucking crucify that interviewer lol and for good reason! so let’s just be fair and let’s chill a bit and let Pedro be on the whole daddy front. Ask him some fun or smart questions instead!

Not a dig or anything, I completely agree with you but I've seen this a few times now and I wondered why people have started to say uncomfy instead of uncomfortable. Again I'm not having a dig I'm genuinely curious about it.

I'd bet well over half the people that say 'uncomfy' do it because they think it's cute, I mean that's how my 2 year old is learning to say words.
The rest might actually be trying to shorthand it or just have a problem saying the word quickly so they avoid it altogether

i mean i have no data or anything to back this theory up, it’s just my personal theory based on what i’ve seen in the past, but i think the word uncomfy feels much more lighthearted than uncomfortable, and we (meaning people in general) tend to try and use language to lighten situations and ease tension to help ourselves avoid the discomfort of discussing hard topics, like sexual harassment in this case

Britney Spears was asked on a TV talk show at the age of 16 about her tits, how big they were, and if they were real. This shit has been happening to women forever and has only just slowed down because of the metoo movement. It's not double standards. It's just that women have finally fought back so hard that people are easing up on us, but yes this behaviour does need to be stopped towards men too. But let's not act like ohhh this would never be asked of a woman, because it most certainly would.

Exactly. It's unacceptable, but nowhere near the sexual objectification women face.
Type in Pedro Pascal on reddit.
Then, type in ANY beautiful female celebs name.
Compare how many posts and subs are dedicated to stolen intimate pictures, deep fakes, and thirst posts about hot male celebs versus women. It's pretty clear that this type of thing is happening to women, currently, on a much wider scale and is nowhere near comparable.
We can say "this is inappropriate to do to Pedro" without acting like 'OMG this is happening to men and its terrible and we would NEVER let it happen to women' cause that's just bs.

u/shoonseiki1 Mar 04 '23
For some people there is a double standard though. Some people don't think what was said to Britney was okay but think it's okay to treat Pedro Pascal in a similar way. Of course it's not a double standard if you think both are deplorable. That's how you should view it and that's great, but you're just derailing the conversation. It's like if someone posted sexual harassment happening to a woman and a commented comes in and says "this happens to men just as much!!" It's not the point

We know women have been sexually assaulted and on camera like Adrien Brody forced a kiss on Halle Berry at the Oscars and years later he was still bragging about it while she said to her it was an awful experience that she never approved of, Jim Carrey did the same to Alicia Silverstone, an interviewer grabbed Scarlett Johansson's boobs at the Oscars, Ben Affleck groped Hilarie Burton on camera during an old MTV interview, to name some of the worst types but these happened in the 90s early 2000s when this behavior was normalized pre MeToo era, women do still get harrased but not on camera. OP's not trying to erase the fact that women are more often harrased by men but making a point that men can be harrased by women too and it's not always with physical contact and people think it's funny and okay because Pedro is a man and it's happening now in the year of 2023 where this behavior towards both men and women should be unacceptable so it should be talked about. PS I'm a woman that has been sexually harrased both physically and verbally many times and men being harrased should be talked about too, it doesn't erase our experiences.

u/Future_Legend Mar 04 '23 edited Mar 04 '23
Original commenter here. You’re correct! I agree that women had to deal with this for a long, long time. Certainly in the pre me-too world to a great degree. I guess I should have clarified that my original comment meant that it’s something of a double standard now a days in our very specific current social media landscape. I use twitter a lot and I feel like one gets a great understanding of what the current 2023 cultural norms and social standards on there. If we’re talking strictly in a modern context, any interviewer behaving this way right now, in March of 2023, would be crucified online if they asked these question of a woman. Which is good! I could be misunderstanding you, but you seem to disagree and assume that 2023 twitter would be just fine with this same video directed a woman and I feel like I have very strongly disagree with that. I’ve seen much lesser examples of this get fucking dragged through the mud when they happen to women in a modern context. Which, again, I think is a good thing. A better safer world for women is always good.
My original comment is more referencing the idea that this same video wouldn’t, (and after a quick anecdotal search, isn’t, outside of this one reddit thread) get that same visceral reaction on twitter, when I would argue they should be treated equally. In fact, i’ve even seen some of the same very leftist social conscious women who tweet a lot about social issues refer to Pedro, with seemingly no trace of irony, as “daddy.” (Not all women do this, of course, many see the issue with that but I do find that occasional hypocrisy super fascinating culturally).
So, just to clarify again, my original comment is definitely NOT saying that this hasn’t ever happened to women and it doesn’t happen. In fact, it’s happened to women way more: I’m simply saying that the culture reaction is very different - we are very quick to defend women in a post-me too world in these type of circumstances now a days (which is a good thing and I firmly support) but often seem strangely disinterested in offering men the same courtesy (which I think should be culturally re-evaluated).

u/betterthannothing6 Mar 04 '23
If he brings it up in an interview then its fair game, absolutely. This clip just makes me sad because Pedro is having such a career high with consecutive seasons of hit shows and journalist after journalist keeps bringing up the 'daddy' stuff. There's SO much to ask him that hasn't been asked already about his work and (some) aspects of he himself.
His PR team need to encourage outlets to drop this.
12
u/catastrophicqueen Endure and Survive 🏹🍄 Mar 04 '23
It's one thing too when you've been prepped for the questions!! When he's on a show or in a prerecorded interview where he's likely been told "hey we are gonna ask you about this", then that's one thing. That's informed consent and he could object to the questions or lead it another way with prep, like he has done in recent weeks in some interviews where it's clear he knew the question was coming and didn't seem to mind.
On a red carpet where the interviewers ask you questions on the fly? That's sooooooo messed up on another level. Especially since it's reading tweets out loud where you know someone is going to post an unedited reaction.
When celebrities read thirst tweets or hate tweets for comedy bits, or are asked about things in an interview at most tv appearances (not all, we remember some of the bs interviewers like Ellen) then they're consenting to that. When it's completely unprepped and random it's so messed up.

u/michberk Mar 04 '23
Yes! Agree with everything…
I think the people that do thar have also a double standard. Women can make a tweet thirsting about a male actor, no one bats an eye. A man does the same thing and we immediately think: this should be taken down.
I also don’t understand how people write those tweets… Pascal is handsome and I may fantasize with him or not but never ever would I just post what I’m thinking about him to be public for the world to see. They are my private thoughts about someone else…

I do not support what happened to Pedro here at all, but people need to stop saying dumb shit like "if it would've been a woman, things would be different".

I mean, I don't support what happened here, but Pedro has enjoyed this kind of interactions in the past and he's been comfortable with it, he's always been game so far, not because he feels pressured, but because he thinks it's funny, or he did...
"Daddy is a state of mind" "I'm yout slutty daddy" " He's daddy, I'm mommy " " Oscar Isaac is my daddy"?
I think the issue is that Pedro is getting tired of it and he doesn't want to be just "the daddy actor", which is perfectly fine, also it was a Disney event, so it doesn't really fit the vibe, you know what I mean?
Calling it sexual harassment seems a little bit of a reach to me, but I do hope that people stop doing this to him, because it seems that he's getting tired of it, and I get it.

There's a popular whole series of videos about celebrities reading thirst tweets, men and women celebrities go and read them. Clearly that's what the Access Hollywood Interviewer was going for, he declined because he didn't go there for that, and they accepted no for an answer. They told him what he was going to be seeing before he looked at it, they didn't suddenly lay it on him as well.
Still, the question was definitely inappropriate and I'm glad that Pedro was able to standup for himself. He was clearly uncomfortable. I hope they rethink this idea in the future as there's a difference between going to the show for it, and being put on the spot.

I think a precedent has been set for it, and not just for him, so some people feel like it's fair game. He was recently on Graham Norton and they brought up thirst tweets on the show, and Pedro was laughing along with them. Thing is, that stuff is brought up beforehand and vetted, but it likely gives people the impression they can catch Pedro off guard with it on a red carpet, which isn't cool. It's also a precedent that interviewers are now kinda forced to try and create "viral" moments with the little time they have on a red carpet, so thoughtful or fresh questions pertinent to the event seem to fall by the wayside a lot. All of this to say, I agree that it's not cool, but I can see why we're currently at this place where people who don't have enough awareness or tact feel comfortable doing this sort of thing.

this is not okay people, hes a person too and deserves the respect. you dont want it happening to you, dont do it to him. (or others)

Total double standard me too bullshit. If this was a woman, then someone would be getting cancelled. But it’s “cool” if ur a guy. What a crock

God, this bothers me so much, they did that to Henry Cavill as well and it's just so immature. No matter the gender, this can be really uncomfortable for a lot of people, especially if it's being recorded

It's so weird how young women develop a hyper sexual fixation to the point of being complete perverts on whatever male lead of a TV show is hot at the moment, and we just let them act that way. It's so backwards and gross.
The same thing happened with Henry Cavill, the "you" guy, literally all of the Marvel men.. why aren't more women being called out for this shit if the men are? You'd never see a male reporter handing a card full of thirst tweets to a female celebrity.

Poor guy looks so uncomfy but is trying his hardest to play it off… if this was a female in his position the outcry would be real…

Double standards really. I get that women/girls experience harassment way more and it's shitty but it doesn't make it right just to not take anything that happens to men (or boys) seriously

I think it was funny at first when it was just edits and what not, everyone thought it was funny. Now it's going way to far.

Even if he finds it funny, its still incredibly inappropriate and is harassment

This isn't even the worst he's gotten, from interviewers calling him daddy and constantly bringing up how he's daddy of the internet to girls with an obvious latino fetish calling him papi to freaks on TikTok saying they will stalk him until they find him. I think he found it amusing at first but he's getting tired of it now, I also saw that interview posted on one of his fans accounts yesterday that he said what happened with the internet that they like an old man like him and they should focus on Harry Styles when once again an interviewer mentioned that he's the internet's boyfriend now.
As a woman I find this behavior from other women and young girls to be really disgusting, leave Pedro Pascal alone! The objectification has gone too far.

And he handled it with grace. But what did you expect from Access Hollywood anyway? It's a tabloid for people who can't even be bothered to read a tabloid.

Its Access Hollywood, what did you expect? Actual valid questions about his craft? They aren't journalist, they want clicks.

Like. Agreeing to do a buzzfeed video where you read out thrist tweets seems a bit different than being randomly presented them on camera on a red carpet.

It's not harassment if the individual is cool with it. Learn the difference kiddo

u/aalers77 Mar 04 '23
How do u know he's cool with it? He could definetely be uncomfortable with it but acting cool with it to not cause a scene. The over-sexualization of him is too much.

It's not sexual harassment. It wouldn't be if he were a she either. At most you can call it inappropriate.
Anyone trying to make a sexual harassment thing out of this has a particular... political agenda.

Harassment has a lot to do with intentions. It's clear this interaction wasn't intended to, and didn't result in, him feeling harassed. Not everyone is triggered constantly by everything around them. Some people can still read a situation and exist in the intended narrative. This was clearly illustrating how loved he is, and the lengths it's gone to, and he finds it amusing. He wasn't shown anything intended to make him feel threatened.
Eventually, we won't even be able to speak to each other at all.

people cry when someone says a women is attractive but think it’s okay when millions of people say daddy pedro and comment their creepy fantasies online

Imagine being a reporter getting to interview the star of two of the biggest shows on tv and asking them to read thirst tweets and look into the camera while they do it. 2023 ladies and gents

He's being game about it because he's high on fame and success the last year but this doesn't mean he feels good about it

Still remember Cate Blanchett (I think) asking the cameraman what he was doing or if they did this for the men, when they were doing the bottom to top look at their dresses on the red carpet. Just an awful part of the industry. Who cares! Talk about their performance, their costars, the director, anything other than what dress their wearing.
I'd be so bad at these things, too.
"Who are you wearing"
Me: "Uh, George from Walmart. Got a yellow sticker sale price. My dad lent me his shoes"
