Yesterday i watched securities at Pick 'n Pay throwing out a very angry old man because he verbally abused a character we all love to hate in a gay/lesbian drama show on SABC 1.
I have seen and heard about this treatment on our actors but never in a million years saw so much anger towards a fake person. The old man kept saying i want to rape you and teach how to be a woman 'faggot''
Thankfully the securities came on time and rescued our beautiful actress.
Now this left me with disbelief and curiosity in how can we make our people differentaite between real lives and acting.
I also want to know from the actors if they seek professional help for the abuse they get from people because that is emotional abuse even if you know wena you doing your job.
I can't imagine myself disrupting myself like that, i must say i bow my head down to characters like Jason, Senzo, Thuli, Beth etc
I just wish South Africans will know they are doing their jobs, and are trying to potray and teach us about a world we all are avoiding to deeply know about which is Gay/lesbian world.
i remember even on facebook the was a group against the scenes between Senzo and Jason. (i never joined but i hated them myself )
What does that mean aboutme and our fellow Mzantsi we can't differentaite between Real lives characters and Acting characters?
I am asking myself what if that old men is a neighbour with a real lesbian will he rape the poor girl to straighten her up just like the neighbour who did that to a girl in Cape Town?
Thank you Generations, Rythm City, Society, Will and Grace etc for making some of us be aware, as we really have learnt so much and not to judge people on their personal choices!!
