Ted Levine, who played Buffalo Bill in the film Silence of the Lambs, spoke out about transphobia criticism the movie has received since its release 35 years ago.
"There are certain aspects of the movie that don’t hold up too well," Levine told The Hollywood Reporter.
The portrayal of the character Buffalo Bill, also known as Jame Gumb, has been criticized over the years by the transgender community as harmful.
This is so beyond stupid, but typical when it comes to the woke Left and their constant virtue-signaling. I mean, "Silence of the Lambs' came out in 1991...no one was talking about transgender people people back then. Then too, having seen the great SOTL a handful of times over the years, I can attest to the fact that the Buffalo Bill character was nothing more than a deranged lunatic/serial killer/pervert with issues that only an intrepid young FBI agent and an incarcerated, cannibalistic serial killer (and forensic psychiatrist) like Hannibal Lector could find before he kills again--nothing more, nothing less. Lastly, if you might have been 'harmed' by the film, there's a simple solution: don't watch it again. That said, leave it to some little-known, woke white, actor to feed into the noise from the "Forever Outraged" crowd and spoil the film's legacy by attempting to stain it some 35 years later with this bullshit.
