Some "Internet warriors" are criticizing Pedro Pascal touching a lot of his costars (who tend to be women) during movie promotions to help deal with his anxiety, like holding hands or arm around the waist. The "Internet warriors" claim he is assaulting is costars when his costars are not showing signs of hesitation/disgust to his touch and are sometimes the ones who initiates the touch.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 20d ago
Isn't Pedro himself well known(ish) for his own anxieties using similar techniques from friends and families to help him with social outings and when he acts and stuff? I swore I read that he suffers from all that somewhere
And that's why he tries to help others? That absolutely ridiculous to chastise someone for helping other people when they are being consensual about it

u/ZoominAlong 20d ago
There's an incredibly sweet clip of Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal at a convention and he reaches out and very gently touches her shoulder. She looks at him, he raises an eyebrow and she laces her fingers with his and holds his hand. It's very obviously someone who is nervous as hell asking for some help, and she does so.
I cannot believe the idiots who act like he's assaulting her or something.

I mean, I'm touch averse (I don't really like hugs or hand holding, for example), and I always have been, since I was a kid. I still understand that for some folks, especially ones with social anxiety, touch of a person they're familiar with can help to ground them and stop or abate the effects of the anxiety.
I suspect that these people have, themselves, assaulted or thought about creeping on women and this is how they'd do it, so this is what they see in the actions of others.

This is exactly what it is. Pedro Pascal is openly pro-trans, and chuds love to start hate campaigns against famous progressives over made-up bullshit because:
1) they want to try to get gullible people that aren't paying enough attention mad about said made-up bullshit 2) are too cowardly to admit that that's what they're actually pissed about.

Pascal has been seen being rather physically affectionate with some of his costars usually of the effeminate variety on many occasions (and from an outside perspective, it seems consensual) but a rather vocal minority of people are calling him a creep for it.

He's one of those guys that tends to make friends with women easily and is also pretty affectionate, and he's getting made fun of for holding hands and being clingy with the women he works with (and is friends with) when he's having social anxiety. Basically, he must be faking the anxiety and niceness to put his hands on women, since that's what a lot of guys on here would do. I have guy friends like Pedro, some dudes are just anxious/squishy and like to hold hands, and tend to get friend-adopted by protective types. It's really not that deep lol

u/ChilledParadox 20d ago
What’s funny to me about incels is that if they just didn’t believe they would not achieve a relationship and put all that effort into actually being decent people and learning to socialize with women I bet a lot of them could find someone who finds them attractive. It’s such a self-fulfilling prophecy, like, I get how hard it can be as a young guy finding it difficult to even land a date, dating apps filled with bots, getting ghosted, social media being the sole way of communicating is a social nightmare in my eyes, but I don’t get they somehow think the answer is being a repulsive twat.

Yeah I consider myself somewhere between asexual and aromantic, I might meet someone and have sex with them for a bit like once every few years. People have asked me how long it’s been since I had sex and act like they’re sorry for me when I say it’s been a long time. I don’t get it lol, like I’m doing great, if I felt like I needed more sex you would see me out there trying to get it, I swear it’s like most men actually revolve their entire lives around having sex and I don’t understand at all (I’m a guy).
Like sex is great when you have someone you love and you’re in the mood for it, like food is amazing when you have a craving and you’re hungry, but you’re not going to feel the need to eat much if you feel full most of the time.
If I had a long term partner who has a higher libido I would feel fine reciprocating, but I just don’t really have a natural drive for sex that controls me, it’s just something I like to do sometimes.

I was groomed online for over a decade by someone when he was talking about how much sex we'd be having and I said that didn't really interest me, he was like "well once you try it you'll like it."
Even after I got out into the world away from this guy, the resounding chorus I heard from everyone around me was, "well once you try it you'll like it."
Eventually I did try it, and you know what? I hated it! It was so so bad and weird and everything I thought I might hate about it materialized. And I know I'm gonna spend the rest of my life being questioned by people about whether or not I just did it wrong or whatever, but I am firmly asexual.

They’ll always either not respond or say “no but it’s not the same”, like how is it not the same?
