  1. The dance world has always been an incredibly punishing one. Top tier ballerinas whose feet regularly bled, they lose their toenails and fill up on toilet paper instead of food to keep their weight down. That level of abuse was, and probably still is, seen as normal in that profession. Yet that level of abuse isn't acceptable. It takes an outsider sometimes, in this case actors, to point the abuses out. This level of "perfectionism" and downright abusive behaviour has always been the case in professional dance. Debbie Reynolds famously talked of the punishing schedule that dancer and choreographer Gene Kelly put her through during the rehearsals for the dance sequences of the 1952 film Singing In The Rain. She's on record talking about it, look it up. That was normal. Is it right? No, abuse is never ok. But did it and does it happen? It's an everyday norm in that profession. It's right that it's getting called out!

  5.  @jewelssunsun9450  Either way, it's irritating. Professional sound engineers and broadcast media used to filter out presenters with annoying tics

  6.  @jewelssunsun9450  Yes I would. Some things people can't help indeed. It just means they are not suitable for a media career. Plenty of other things they can do. Things that can be ameliorated with coaching etc then do that. There used to be minimum standards and competencies required. Not all careers are open to anyone who wants to do it. I can't walk so I couldn't have a career in marathon running for instance. You play to your strengths not expect people to tiptoe around your weaknesses. That's reality 🤷🏻‍♀️
