Ezra Matthew Miller[2][3] was born in Wyckoff, New Jersey,[4][5] on September 30, 1992.[6][7] He has two older sisters named Saiya and Caitlin.[8] His mother, Marta Miller (née Koch), is a modern dancer.[5] His father, Robert S. Miller, was senior vice president and managing director of Hyperion Books, and later became a publisher at Workman Publishing.[8][9] Miller's father is Jewish; his mother is of Dutch and German descent.[10] Miller identifies as Jewish and "spiritual".[11][12][13]
I'm not saying this excuses any of his behavior, but Miller himself is likely the victim of grooming. He's been around in Hollywood since he was a young teenager, and has always reportedly been very popular with certain circles of producers. The kinds of people who are protected in the same way that Brian Singer manages to not only stay out of jail, but keeps getting work.
I can only presume that Miller is being protected and continues to be employed because there are some very powerful people in Hollywood who are concerned about what he might say if his protection is withdrawn.
The most insane part of the whole thing is that every news article written about Ezra Miller addresses him with nonbinary they/them pronouns with 100% accuracy. You'd think one editor would feel the scratch of cognitive dissonance and address him correctly.
Yes, which is exactly why anyone who insists on using plural pronouns for a singular person should be referred to by only the pronoun "it". A perfect example of the communication problems caused by people insisting the word "they" can be singular.
"They" can be singular. The problem is "they" isn't a real pronoun when used that way. It's used as a substitute for when the proper pronoun isn't known because it's ambiguous. The ambiguity causes problems and is why it should never be used except as a last resort.
Yes, I know about "he or she", but it sounds so fucking stupid. I can't do it.
I usually do. I use "they" mostly when talking about a theoretical person. Like "if you were at a store and the person at the checkout accidentally forgot to scan an item, would you say something to them"?
I'm not sure why, it just seems more correct to me.
Imp would actually be correct in pointing out the cause, there. Both are equally correct, and have been for the last few centuries, but feminists in education have been pushing a preference for They for a few decades.
Comparison of how the entertainment industry treats Miller versus how the industry treats Kanye supports everything Kanye said.

Ah. As HE has kept HIMSELF out of trouble since starting treatment. I see now where the confusion stems from.
Faggotry.
The homeboy also has evidently the male and more white (#OscarsSoWhite) privilege compared to Gadot, who's out.
Ahh, but were Miller a "MAP", wouldn't that count as being very much oppressed to some worldviews?
Yeah, I'm being cautious, I live in the UK and a libel suit is not fun...

He also calls himself nonbinary, hence all the "they" pronouns.

I was hoping this was about George Miller and the Mad Max franchise.

When I was in school they were pushing "he or she"/"him or her". But that was also quite a while ago.
