She shouldn't be paid more. In fact, she should be fined for ruining the show. This bitch is the worst.

Male actors are in higher demand, deal with it.

Don't they have agents that handle these things?

i hope it gets her blacklisted. hollywood jews have played along with this but presumably they'll put their foot down when these entitled talentless actresses start to threaten the bottom line.

fpbp

What? She's far better than Spacey in HoC

just goes to show that liberals don't really care, they'll write an article or go stand at a protest, but they don't really give a shit enough to actually follow through on something.

she belives that she's on the same level as kevin spacey?

Is she billed as a co-star? Or is she considered a supporting actress? My first thought was that the star should be payed the most regardless of gender.

Wrong.

There hasn't been for over 50 years. The "wage gap" is literally a meme.

It's like HoC is all she has so she can't even threaten to leave

As far as I know there's no set wage in terms of acting. Your wage typically changes from production to production and it's either negotiated by your agent or yourself. It's not an issue of equal pay in the acting industry rather than just one's ability to negotiate for their pay.

Kevin Spacey can demand more than her. If she didn't get House of Cards Robin Wright Penn would've been one step above a literally who. Agents handle this.
Get a better agent. Clearly he (and if it isn't a he you should get a man they're better agents) didn't do a good job when you demanded a raise. It doesn't have to do with sexism

this wage gap has to stop. how can they pay a leading actress less than the guy who powders K. Spacelys balls?!

This is the dumbest shit ever. People should be paid equally for equal positions but Spacey and Wright are not equal by any means. This bitch is delusional if she thinks she has the star power that Spacey has, let alone the accomplishments that Spacey has. No one watches House of Cards because Robin Wright is in it. They watch House of Cards because Kevin Spacey is the lead.

How would he react to this?

It's almost like people are payed based on the monetary value they bring to their employer and she works with fucking Kevin Spacey.

Then work at McDonald's and get paid minimum wage without the other wagecucks if Hollywood is such a fucking problem.

Robin Wright is actually a good actress though, while Kev is a giant ham most of the time

>muh wage gap

This doesn't even make sense in the entertainment industry, where the PERSON HIMSELF is the commodity that's being assigned value, rather than just being a person who creates something else. No fucking shit different people are going to have different going-rates in the movie biz, and that also means differences in demand and pay between men and women overall.

To use an analogy, is anyone complaining that male and female pornstars get paid differently? No, of course not. Because the centerpiece of the porno is going to be the woman, and the man is little more than a walking dildo whose job it is to keep his body out of the camera as much as possible.

Considering in the new season she becomes President then yeah sure deserves to be paid more

>rich people bitching that they aren't paid equal.
>actor pay is purely based on how much audience they can draw.

I watch it for her

Le Congress is one of the best films of the past decade

Regardless of your opinion (which is objectively wrong :^)), Spacey is the main draw and she is a literal who to your average Netflix subscriber.

This show grabbed the attention it did because of Spacey, no one saw it on netflix and went "Oh Robin Wright is in this? I'll give it a watch." If she's not getting paid more than she needs a better agent.

/thread

Your average Netflix subscriber is a brainless retard though
Eh, I don't care enough to argue about this, it's been all downhill since season 2 anyway

At the start of the show everyone knew who Spacey was, and many went to watch specifically for this, but no one knew her until google her name and find out she was the chick that cucked Forrest Gump.

>Oh Robin Wright is in this? I'll give it a watch.
I FUCKING DID WHY AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS FUCKING THREAD THAT CARES ABOUT ROBIN, THE LITERAL JOINT GUEEN OF HOLLYWOOD WITH LAURA DERN

Because she's an uppity bitch without the chops to make up for it.

Aspie Sarah Jessica Parker face.

More chops than Spacey, who has been consistently dreadful for years at this point

Actresses don't sell as many tickets are bring in as many views as actor, therefore, they don't bring in as much money; they have less value. Blame society, not the industry.

That being said, the high paid actors also don't bring in an equal or greater amount of profit to compensate for what they are paid, but their presence improves the chances of the movie being successful at all.

liberal women you mean. men will actually do something, while women hold up signs and write tweets and then wonder why they never accomplish anything.

>My agent sucks
>I continue working despite being unhappy
>This is the patriarchy's fault

It really is a meme. Women expect equal pay for less arduous work and less hours. A secretary may work as much as her doctor boss but she does not deserve the same pay, neither does the female Doctor who has two day weekends whereas he only has one day off.

It's spreading!

>co-stars
Okay, hang on. Plural?
Because obviously she shouldn't be getting as much as Spacey. The man is more famous than her, more lauded than her and has more screentime than her.
But honestly that does annoy me if she's not getting as much as the other men in the show. She's easily the second-most important person.

Is the article being sneaky with that plural or is she being paid less than Stamper?

Remember when feminists went after Amy Pascal for casually explaining why there's a wage gap offhandedly in one of the leaked emails?
Apparently Actresses don't negotiate their salaries.

>is she getting paid less than Stamper?
Nope, she wants that Spacey Money!

>Literally who thinks she should be paid the same as Kevin Spacey
The audacity of this whore is breathtaking.

Stop signing less profitable contracts.

No one gives a shit you faggot. You're not representative of the average consumer. A vast majority of people didn't look at the initial trailer of HoC and think "Oh shit it's Robin Wright! Now I'm definitely going to watch it". They thought "Oh fuck it's Kevin Spacey!".

That's what separates A-listers (who get paid the most) from B-listers.

It's not an amazing skill for a woman to pretend to be something she's not.

She signed the contract so she can't change anything

SHE FUCKING HAS CONTROL OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. THE ENTIRE SHOW. SHE GETS PAID MORE THAN SPACEY, DIRECTS EPISODES, IS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER....

WHAT THE FUCK MORE DOES THIS BITCH WANT

So, she wants the exact same pay as Spacey because of what she does on screen? The article states they've both done different things off screen in relation to the show that will net them money (producing, directing, etc). So she might be getting paid the same as Spacey does for her acting, but because he's also got a dual role as a producer, and as an "original" producer at that.

She should complain about her bad decisions, he took a risk producing from the beginning and it paid off big time.

I read the thumbnail, but I've already forgotten her name.

Unlike Kevin Spacey, a name I'd remember before my own after amnesia.

Pretty much this plus overall screentime.
Jennifer Lawrence appeared in some piece of shit for maybe 10 minutes, and feels she deserves the same money as the star who was on screen well over an hour.

this and old hags like her always want to be doing younger chick roles

Women want to be paid more for doing less work and taking less risks, duh.

>No one watches House of Cards because Robin Wright is in it
Well she just became the main character so I guess we're about to find out
Well I won't, because fuck that

>I don't even know who she is
>wants more money for having a vagina

>They should negotiate better deals. I'm not going to pay them more than they're willing to take.
>WELL YOU SHOULD

Women on average are poor negotiators. A good deal of the mythical wage gap that exists is because women don't ask for raises or counter offer during job searches. Then radfems come back and complain that this is because of 'the patriarchy'.

hire a jewish attorney and threaten to quit like that other chick. but she won't because she's not that important.

>incredibly rich white woman in America who plays dress up for movies wants more money

I have to choose between fuel and food next week kek

Spacey is a world renowned actor with an A-list career, wonder why he gets paid more?

She cucks the most patriarchal figure in society on a daily basis in the show, isn't that enough?

Her character is literally "muh empowered women".

It shouldn't, but it triggers me to no end. I keep watching the newer eps hoping Frank is biding his time to BTFO everyone but it's looking More and more farfetched every time.

>get hired to portray an insufferable entitled cunt
>turn out to be one in real life
Pottery.
He'd kill her and then fuck a dude in the ass afterwards.

She gets paid less because she's not Kevin fucking Spacey.

Hollywood isn't a real profession, especially if you're an actor. It's a pure popularity contest.

Getting paid less than the dude next to you? Tough shit. Get more popular.

Why don't these women just demand higher pay or else they won't do the job?

Because they have no leg to stand on and it's in their nature to be passive aggressive. Feminism was a mistake

this still doesn't explain it because you can just hire a male agent to negotiate for you

pascal is based as fuck and correct. studios are not charities, if you want more ask for more, if you don't get it, that's fucking the business

studios should not pay more because "muh women"

>everybody loves kevin spacey
>people can barely remember her name
gee, I wonder why he gets paid more

Same reason WNBA players aren't paid as much as NBA players.

Generate revenue, get paid more.

>goes onto report

Is it really that hard to hire a decent editor or proofread? I know it's only ET but Jesus

>Male actors who are underpaid demand more pay or quit

>Female actresses who are underpaid go to the media and complain and hope other people arrange more pay on their behalf

jee I wonder why pay gaps can appear

This is all meaningless anyway since the minimum wage is the same for both male and female and this is protected by law, there is no "institutional system to ensure women get paid less" it ensures they get paid the same... anything more then that shouldn't be taken for granted.

Middle Aged women should be wiped off the face of the earth. Nobody needs them

The wage gap has to do with tons of different variables, mostly in that blue collar men and women don't have the same jobs and women choose to work less hours. It's "fixable" but only by women working the same hours and jobs that men do.

Shit the WNBA only exists because the NBA funds it and keeps it afloat, they even have NBA players lie on national TV saying how much they learn from watching the WNBA

Yes. Woman should be paid 2x as much as men.

That''s equality.

>Why am I not getting paid as much as Kevin Fucking Spacey in a protagonist role
Gee, I wonder.

if pay was literally 1:1 through the genders what would the entitled cunts of hollywood bitch about next?

>but no one knew her
No, YOU didn't know her because you only watch capeshit, you stupid shit.
She's not getting paid as much as Spacey because she's not the protagonist of the show.

Bitch, it's Kevin motherfucking Spacey

Now if she means any of her other co-stars get paid more, that's kind of messed up, but I doubt it.

muh reparations

No.

>else they won't do the job?
because women are just going to backstab eachother and offer to do it for cheaper than the other girl

Yeahhhh we demand equal pay. Why is someone like bill gates earning a billion times more then me? How is that fair mayne. Gimme those billions

Fuck you guys.
Regardless of her resume, this is the 5th season of this show, and she has just as much, if not more screen time as Spacy. She is not some piece of ass who can deliver a few lines well. Claire underwood is one of the most powerful, fleshed out, and formidable characters in tv today. She is a statuesque goddess, who is also some kind of freakish efficient acting machine.

Her performance has elevated her, and the show itself. This season, if not last, she absolutely deserves as much pay as Spacy, and I would genuinely be shocked if Spacy didn't aggre percent with me.

She's not your fucking Buttercup anymore.

well she did not walk a year ago so why would they pay more? fixed pay logic does not apply to sports and art.

> a reeducation

>hire a male agent to negotiate for you
And not give one of your feminists sisters a job? How dare you even suggest that!

>5th season of this show
which usually means everyone should be getting paid less.
>She is a statuesque goddess
Why must you make words meaningless?
>Her performance has elevated her, and the show itself.
people paying her don't feel the same. If its all true than she should walk and if others feel that, they will pay.

she should quit and join the big bang theory

>which usually means everyone should be getting paid less.
Your opinion has been disregarded. Better luck next time :)

yeah this is bait, but nobody gives a shit about house of cards anymore. it's prime was s1-2, its done now.

It's almost like we're comparing a series with a clear protagonist to sitcoms with ensembles.

This is code for
>the men on this show are literal whos who know they aren't getting any work once the show ends unlike the woman who pays Penny who is probably demanding more money
>let's spin this business decision as feminism for brownie points instead of the cold calculated shit that it is

Female actresses are payed as much as they are worth. It just turns out actors in the US tend to be better performers and are more popular than their female counterparts. Blame the free market.

Most liberals don't care about this shit, just vocal retards

what has she even done before house of cards? kevin spacey has won oscars for his performances in classic films. if spacey left I'd stop watching the show but if they wrote her out I'd be like "oh". just because they're in the same show doesn't mean they're as valuable to the show.

No.
There's a pay gap, not a wage gap, because individual actors demonstrably aren't of the same value.

They can't negotiate and then cry on the media in an attempt to fix it

Trump got elected and people are pushing back SJW. The producers dont pay her more because shes not worth as much/draws as much as her male counterpart

bitch is legit batshit crazy

this spacey has over 9000x more name recognition than robin wright - when you hire a star to play in your series, you buy their name recognition as an asset. that comes at a price. the brand robin wright is not as known, and thus not as valuable. when will the feminazis learn?
