Have we been typecast?

Desmond1979 1 month ago

Just like the Aspiring British Actor gets typecast, upon entering Hollywood, it seems that we've been typecast as Tinpots wearing Lanyards.

We've become the Fast Food Employees at the receiving end of Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down'; all of a sudden. Too nice for our own good.

Makes me appreciate returning to rural settings. Charity does, indeed, begin at home.

I don't wanna be nice. (John Cooper Clarke)

Lyrics from the song "I Don't Wanna Be Nice" by John Cooper Clarke (British performance poet and musician):

https://genius.com/John-cooper-clarke-i-dont-want-to-be-nice-lyrics

Here he comes now the fast fingers, the expert eyes
And the same old how do you do
Disgust is just his dumb disguise
He wants a word with you
His problems are the end his mouth needs exercise
The last thing I need is another friend I don't want to be nice

I don't want to be nice I think it's clever to swear
Better seek some sound advice better look elsewhere
Your face is an obvious case you shouldn't put it about
This is neither the time nor place to sort these matters out
What you see is what you get you only live twice
A friend in need is a friend in debt I don't want to be nice

We never met before I'm very happy to say
Far from perfect strangers I'd like to keep it that way
I'm not your psychoanalyst I'd rather talk to mice
You're so easy to resist I don't want to be nice

Eh? I still don't understand what this thread is about, who's being typecast, where and by whom?

I think lots of people NT's and ND's dye their hair and have a variety of piercings and tattoo's. Maybe because I don't do all the social media stuff I'm less exposed to stereotypes? Or maybe I just hung about with non mainstream people for so many years I just don't notice as I just accept the person I see in front of me and only care about whether they're a good person or not, I don't really care about the colour of thier skin, their tatts, piercings or hair colours
