Child stars, whether they be actors, musicians, or other, have a very obvious pattern of either going down the wrong path themselves, or being victims of the industry or their fans/stalkers
With advancements in AI and CGI able to make actors look younger, or even computer generate people entirely, should we remove all actual children from the entertainment industry ?
It's short-sighted. Removing children from acting would mean that essentially all low budget tv shows which can't afford extortinate cgi bills can't afford children to play any part. I get that some of them go bad due to the entertainment industry being as it is, but it's not like most of them go bad. It's kind of like Catholic priests; for everyone you here is a diddler there are a thousand that aren't.
For every child that goes bad due to being a child actor there are probably well more than a thousand that don't go bad.
No, I don't support removing them entirely. There have been many child stars that went on to live rich lives, it's just that they're mainly from specific, kid-friendly companies and not big movie productions. There's also smaller productions where there's nothing illicit going on because there isn't even that much money in the project.
Also, do you really want CGI to be used to make adults look like children? Do you have any idea how creepy that is, or how creepy it's going to be???
