In this house we support Justice as Harris, he'll kill this role

It’s not that he will do good or bad. I just, for once there was an opportunity for a chubby person to be seen as desirable in a gay show. But I guess we don’t exist.

yeah me as a plus size 🚬 would also love that but also i think chemistry is freaking more important in a fiction besides of strict tracing from the books so i chose to trust them lmao.

I was so hoping he'd be cast as Fabian.

like he'll kill the role and most of this hate is not towards him, hes an insanely talented actor, but Harris is chubby and its a shame that they didnt cast someone who fit in the role better, and its not a good look for the representation show to not represent certain people

@amxdiem Why does everyone think criticizing taking representation of a marginalized group away from a character is hating on the actor? I’m VERY disappointed in this casting. I also really like Justice Smith. Two things can exist. It should’ve gone to a fat actor, end of story.

Its all about representation.. we lost a chubby guy from a twink looking actor — but still trust the process..

He's not the problem it's just that our Harris is canonically plus size so Jacob is either going to remove that from the series or make him gain weight for the role 😅

I just don’t see it. I was hoping for someone more bubbly beary rugby built kinda guy.

I get why people are upset, I'm plus sized too, but if he was cast there must be a reason. I've seen him act, he's good.

He’s giving Fabian vibes in these clips!!! Maybe that means that we won’t get Fabian and Ryan-which isn’t a bad thing! That means more Ilya and Shane!

He's fabulous and he'll be amazing as Harris♥️

And he's supposed tobe a chubby Canadian farm boy?? Puh-leaze 🙄

I really really wanted someone chubby as Harris

No one is putting into question he is acting abilities. But physically going in such an opposite direction of the character is reinforcing the fatphobia in the gay community. Is a out representation, he could've been POC and fat

Is he going to gain 70 pounds?

gotta support!

I'm sorry, but he's Fabian 😅

Yes, he’ll be great but also body representation is really important and people are allowed to be annoyed about it

such a fantastic actor.

I really trust the casting team because they've could'nt done better in Season 1, so when I saw Justice Smith's pic, I've trusted the election even with all the changes implied. And now, watching this images (thanks for them), I agree with you: he'll kill Harris' role.

my life was forever changed by his performance in I Saw the TV Glow, I have no doubt he’s gonna eat this role up

Of course he'll do good, He's Justice. I just feel this evil aura around the casting crew; hoping that since they casted a POC that it will deflect criticism as being exclusively racism instead of being critical of they're avoidance of +size queer men

He's hot

He gives me more vibes of Fabian and not Harris but who knows, I trust Jacob

I’m not even familiar with what character this is, I already loved Justice from seeing him in OTHER films and this energy he’s giving in these clips is solidifying my confidence in him even more!!

He should’ve been cast for the role of Fabian, not Harris.

IM SOLD!!!! He is SO Harris coded, I’m gonna cry!!!!

well yes!

Es que Harris no es ese tipo de puto. Dios, alguien leyó el maldito libro?

He can gay weight… he got the part for a reason tho

omg i didn't know him but seeing this i just know he'll ace harris!

What’s this from?

YES!!!

@whimsfully Oooooh okay okay okay I love Justice but now I’m seeing the VISION

Pero no está gordo wey, Harris en la historia es gordo y aquí nos dieron al más flaco de todos
