Whereas if Tom Hanks yells the F word, no one is talking about how white cis-het male actors are going to all be like this. I will admit that this is not a perfect comparison, because the severity of Miller’s crimes are much more severe than Hanks losing his temper. Tom Hanks has also been a public figure for 30+ years who's long had an image as a genuinely nice guy, so yelling at someone on the street even if it is justified (and I think it was) is so counter to his "brand" that it gets attention but doesn't totally destroy his reputation given the context of the incident. Miller has been in the public eye at a much lower profile for a shorter period and honestly has had sketchy stories of bizarre or dangerous behavior swirling around them for years before coming out as non-binary. I've been on the board since the beginning, and am reasonably up on pop culture, and the first time I ever heard of Ezra Miller was when this thread was opened. So day one's exposure to them was "Yikes," and hasn't improved. Miller doesn't have a recognizable brand up in the eyes of the general public, so they don't have a lot to counterbalance their horrible actions. Tom Hanks, OTOH, has built up decades of "solid guy" behavior, so when he yells at a fan/pap who nearly knocked his wife over, pretty much everyone is likely to look at it through the lens of who he's seen to be. Edited as I accidentally misgendered Miller, sorry.

So if he’s in his Vermont property, why can’t the police catch him?

It sounds like Miller's not there (or she's lying and saying they're not there.) They haven't been located for police to serve them.

My knowledge of Ezra Miller was at the "being cast in the lead role in The Flash movie" level of famous to a comic book nerd, so I knew whom they (Ezra) were before this. They (Ezra) really need help.

For a they who is so intent on reveling in their they-ness, this person certainly likes to pick vulnerable women to abuse.
I've no doubt they promised the moon to the Hawaiian mother staying in Vermont, and being so young and with nowhere to go with three kids (and in a state alien to her, and isolated on this farm), she's likely putting up with all sorts of sh**t but denying it.
I don't care if Ezra is sick in the head and need help. They need their ass kicked, hard.

I don't think you should put this on non-binary folks, who are already struggling along with the rest of the LGBTQ+ communities. Also, physically assaulting someone who physically assaulting people is not going to make them better, even said in jest. Thanks for using the proper pronouns, even if they are a terrible person.
