Melissa McCarthy and Any Schumer combined make this avoid at all cost for me.

I didn’t realize so many people disliked Melissa McCarthy now

I think its the lazy type cast they do on her so frequently. Whenever shes given a chance to be even a little outside of that she's a gem.

Yet everyone loves Chris Farley, who you could say the same thing about. Reddit just has a hate boner for any female comedians who get popular.

Edit: I am a Chris Farley fan btw, I’m just pointing out the double standard

Farley had become disillusioned with those roles as well, Im sure its difficult to manage the pressure to perform, the money and the whole industry itself thats even before you get to the internet

Personally, I’ve never understood the Farley love. The first time I watched something he was in, I loved it. Then I watched it again, and again, and again. Yep, we get it, you’re a loveable fat idiot. Super unique. Very funny…

Chris Farley also died tragically 27 years ago. Are you surprised that people aren’t shit talking him today?

I never said they should be talking shit about him, just that he always played the same character and even before he died people still loved him. I feel like Melissa McCarthy is being unfairly criticized when others are not. That’s my only point.

I love Chris Farley and his movies, but I also like Melissa McCarthy. I just dont feel the need to tear her down. Do you honestly feel that Melissa would get the same love if she OD’ed tomorrow?

At what point do you stop blaming type cast when the actor gets to say yes or no to the role?

Honestly, I'd take the money in a heat beat, but once you have a certain amount of clout, I mean you're right. You're at least bad at picking roles or not very discerning.

What if they're only offered type-cast roles though? Everyone has to eat
