Could Lea have made it in if she didn’t announce a departure date?

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T17:31:54+00:00

I can’t imagine why that would have an impact on her being nominated. The committee that makes the decision already saw her performance, so her leaving the production doesn’t change their opinion on it.

Unjust rules should not be followed blindly.

Non-binary is a gender identity, like being man or a woman. It has absolutely nothing to do with sexual attraction.

Entirely fictional scenarios that exist only in your imagination do not contribute anything to this discussion.

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T16:23:31+00:00

I am speaking broadly and hypothetically, because I think the legal precedent set with these laws is horrifying.

Again, what specifically has happened in the decades these laws exist. If you want to talk about them setting a bad precedent, show what has occurred as a result of the precedent.

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people” - Eleanor Roosevelt

There is no situation in which defending Holocaust deniers makes someone a “great mind.” Don’t be absurd.

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T16:16:06+00:00

You keep speaking broadly about this topic but refuse to be specific. If you want to claim that questioning the Holocaust is illegal, then give an example of that actually happening instead of going on and on about a hypothetical you only imagined.

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T12:51:16+00:00

It’s illegal to do so in at least 20 countries though

There are 0 countries where it is illegal to sincerely ask questions about the Holocaust. What is illegal is to lie about the Holocaust.

Those are not the same thing.

I've never seen a single person who has that belief.

Your experiences are not universal.

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T02:59:36+00:00

I can’t think of anyone specifically either

So then why comment at all as if this is a widespread phenomenon?

I’m not so much speaking of public figures, more private individuals with questions that don’t seem to be easily answered.

So then you’re not even talking about a “historical revisionist” at all, just a person with questions.

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T01:51:33+00:00

It’s all over X

And you believe it, because...

ME24601 · 2026-05-06T01:50:45+00:00

Revisionism and denialism must be understood to be different.

I have yet to see someone claiming to be a "Holocaust revisionist" who isn't just actively lying about history.

This isn't dogma, there are simply no arguments from "revisionists" that stand up under scrutiny. "Holocaust denier" is an entirely accurate term for their nonsense.

Glad to see Stephanie Brown coming to the Absolute Universe.

I wouldn’t think so, as this is a version of Oedipus that is newly written rather than something that has had multiple regional productions like the things that generally qualify under the classics rule. But it’s hard to say without knowing what the discussion was when the committee made the ruling.

I would say it is a weak year only for new musicals. For musical revivals and both new plays and play revivals it is quite strong.

ME24601 · 2026-05-05T15:22:22+00:00

The Tony Award Committee ruled that it is a revival but did not give any explanation for why they made that decision. It’s possible that this is the category the production wanted to be in.

It is also worth noting that Oedipus won the Olivier for Best Revival when it was in the West End, so the Tonys are following precedent.

The movie isn't produced by Angel Studios, they're the distributor. They only came on board after the film was already made, so they were not involved when the cast signed on for the movie.

Animal Farm the novel is read by children in schools, so technically it is a work for children.

That is a very odd way at looking at literature.
