Mason Gooding (booksmart, Love Victor)

*sigh* Mason posted on insta and once again just random places and bowling.....
Honestly I’m surprised he doesn’t travel or anything. He was doing that with his ex. He went to Paris, Hawaii, her hometown and somewhere else I can’t remember. He needs to get out of his comfort zone

Spoilers for Y2K if you want

He has a small role, I would also say about 5 minutes of screen time too but compared to the rest of the supporting cast who feel a lot more like cameos, he has multiple scenes throughout the second half of the movie. He also shows up at the very end as well.

basically though the movie focuses on Rachel's character and the group of people that was at the party with her.

What character does he play?
 
I do wonder if he had much of a choice. I know from other celebrities’ experiences and memoirs that sometimes you have to lock in a contract for a certain number of films. You’re usually fined if you break contract. Melissa was fired—not her fault. Jenna quit, so probably paid a fine, but she’s famous enough to risk that. Maybe Mason was stuck with a 3 film deal for Scream? Just speculating at this point because he’s too good a person to openly support a bad cause.
 
I don’t know what it means. I’m not from Palestine or Israel and I’m not reading skewed media articles for confirmation bias purposes. I watch movies and shows to be entertained. I’m not concerned with what a director, actor, or total stranger believes. I separate real life from multimedia. If their product is good and doesn’t contain broad hate against any nationality, race, gender, or sexual orientation then I will enjoy it.
 
His Instagram comments and Twitter fan accounts are going crazy. They’re attacking him, talking about him being like his father, talking about taking dick like his father, saying they see why his ex broke up with him, and calling him a terrible actor. Like damn people it’s not that serious. He’s an actor. He needs a job doesn’t matter if he has six other projects. This is getting worse and worse. I see why he hasn’t posted anything yet

Yeah he's not as influential as Jenna and Melissa to have the power to drop out. There's probably more to the story. He doesn't deserve the mistreatment online though.

I do hope they don't kill off Chad though, I really liked him in 6. He's literally one of my favorite characters.

everything regarding the initial plans of this movie was in fact scrapped and rewritten. So even if he had signed before any of that happened, I would think he would have a strong case with a legal team to argue that bc of how much things have changed they should at least give him the option to get out of the contract. I’m not a lawyer so I’m not sure how it works so I can absolutely be wrong here.

With that said, even if that was true where is his pr team and why are they not doing damage control for something that can be explained rationally.

I like him and do think he’s a decent enough actor but heart eyes was already questionable and people were still giving him the benefit of the doubt. Second time he’s not getting a pass which is why it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone the reaction to this is much harsher

Reading through his Instagram comments makes me feel sick. This is the problem with the internet. Without the whole story or allowing a celebrity to say their side of things, they launch forward with attacks that ultimately drive the celebrity away in what all these people think is “victory.” There’s no true activism with what’s being done there. And there isn’t a win or loss, either. It just shows who is chronically online, living in the comments to spew hatred instead of approaching the situation logically. There is certainly a difference in voicing your opinion about a situation and using slurs, hate speech, and death threats. But I guess that’s why he doesn’t really do social media anymore.
