I think many of us fell in love with that image which has been there for decades and don’t understand the stiff, awkward, contrived, and restrained Gillian Anderson we see those days. She swears, it’s part of who she is, but we had to wait until the Webby’s to see her swearing in public like she always does.

2/2 I think it’s a little selfish of fans to demand her be the way it suits them. I’m not talking about you, but in general, people want her to fit with their agenda or personal preferences, like e.g. not dating PM. What if she finally knows what’s best for her? I’m not saying he’s perfect. But sometimes two people can come together in a way that their imperfections make them fit perfectly.

Sorry to disagree, anon. I don’t want to see her the way it suits me, but the way I think she really is, deep down and sadly, it appears to me that she keeps fighting her real persona and I find it sad. As I said, I think it’s a phase, and she’ll go back to her true-self. Actually, I think she still is her true-self on a daily basis, in private, at work, or with her children. I wish she would go back to that when in public too, regardless who she’s with.
