If they’re applying for a random acting job they’re fine. If they’re applying for a Taylor Swift impersonator role, they’re likely to run into legal issues. I don’t see why that’s a problem. Why does their bodily autonomy have to include attempting to fool other people into thinking they’re someone they aren’t?
If I attempt to convince the government I’m someone I’m not, there are real criminal penalties - my “body autonomy” doesn’t extend to deception.
- philwelch 2y agoThere are, in fact, Taylor Swift impersonators, just like there are Elvis impersonators. It’s perfectly legal. You can hire them for private events and stuff.
- consteval 2y agoIt's legal if you say they're impersonators. What I can't do is hire them for my commercial, make it seem like they're just Taylor Shift, and air that. That's illegal and always has been.
