✧──── Problematic Faceclaims









Below is a list of female actors who have said or done inappropriate and problematic things. They should not be used as a faceclaim, though some have done more "extreme" things than others and are therefore personal preference. However, people who have not apologised for their actions or do not seem to be changing should be held accountable. I will not accept any hate towards my choice of actors on this list — especially Elizabeth Olsen as I know so many people still idolise her and think that she has done nothing wrong. Also, if there is an actor not on this list but who you think should be, please let me know nicely as chances are, I do not know they are problematic!

Here is the link to one place I got my sources from: https://yourfaveisproblematic.tumblr.com/list, so please go and read that for more detail. I also had a Tumblr post that linked to a Google doc with even more celebrities, but I can't find it again for the life of me! If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know as I'd love to double-check and see if I missed anyone!

Some of what these actors have done could be triggering to some, so please read with caution!
