## Resource

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is facing growing backlash from Hollywood figures after choosing not to publicly engage in political discussions. Actor George Takei criticized his silence, stating that “silence is complicity,” while Wil Wheaton added harsh remarks calling his stance “so disappointing” and labeling him a coward. The controversy has sparked a wider debate about whether major celebrities have a responsibility to speak out on political issues or remain neutral, and what that silence means in today’s polarized cultural climate.
