“Disgusting And Violating”: Ryan Reynolds Has Sparked Backlash After Admitting He Had His 7-Year-Old Daughter Deliver A Sexually Explicit Line In “Deadpool & Wolverine”

Discussing Ryan’s commentary on a Reddit forum, one person wrote: “There’s no reason she needed to deliver that line herself. It’s a character with a mask and no visible mouth, it could easily have been dubbed over.”

“I didn’t think I’ll ever find a justification for AI voiceover to deliver lines, but what do you know, here’s one,” somebody else agreed, to which another user replied: “Doesn’t even have to be AI, you can’t see their faces through the mask so just get a voice actor who can do a kid voice to do it.”

“Or just remove the line completely. If a comedy writer can’t make an equally funny line that an actor feels comfortable saying maybe they shouldn’t be a writer,” one more added.

“She’s the same age as my kid. I couldn’t imagine ANYTHING that would 1. get me to do this to my kid (or any kid) or 2. would be okay with my husband having done it,” another redditor commented. 

“it’s honestly so disgusting and violating?” somebody else agreed, and one more pointed out: “I wouldn’t care if it was just swearing but getting a kid to make a sexual joke is gross.”

“I don’t care what the ‘intent’ was behind the line – it is overtly sexual and no kid has any business saying it, let alone in a movie made by their parent,” another echoed.

“If it was just swearing, that’s one thing but an outright sexual reference? Thats gross and unnecessary. You could’ve gotten an adult to sound like a child to deliver this line,” somebody else wrote.

“What is wrong with these people. To think that’s a funny little anecdote is grim beyond belief,” one user added, while another concluded: “This is just gross and weird.”
