This petition stems from a deeply personal concern. As someone directly affected by the political views of the actor cast in a new animated movie, I feel it's crucial to address this issue. Eric Nam's public stance on certain issues has been divisive and harmful, impacting many individuals like myself.

It is important to note that an actor's influence extends beyond their on-screen performance. Their public persona and beliefs can significantly shape societal attitudes, especially among younger audiences who are more impressionable. According to a study by the University of Southern California, celebrities have substantial sway over their fans' opinions and behaviors (USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism).

Therefore, we urge the producers of this animated film to reconsider their casting decision and replace the said actor with someone whose off-screen persona does not alienate any section of their audience.

Please sign this petition if you agree that entertainment should remain inclusive and respectful towards all viewers' sensibilities.
