Written with a hyphen, the phrase author-cast refers to the author's equivalent of a fancast. It is the practice of casting celebrities as characters in your book. Originated in the fanfic-writing community and is very prevalent on Wattpad. However, there is still an issue with representation in author-casts.
"Hey, I just finished my author-cast, want to see?"
"Oh, cool! You have Idris Elba casted as the dad!"
"Yeah, he looks just like how I imagined him!"

Also: Hype Casting
When an influencer, actor, or actress is cast in a role regardless of whether or not they're right for the role instead based on their trending status.
i.e. Pedro Pascal, Timothy Chalamet, and Zendaya were cast in the majority of blockbuster films in the early 2020s based on their ability to attract audiences and box office revenue regardless of their suitability for the role, or in some instances their talent.
Unlike Type Casting where an actor is reliably cast in a particular role.
i.e. the Action Hero is played by Jason Statham, regardless of the film

I wish they would put more effort into casting now a days it seems they just want to put the most Instagram, and Tiktok famous people in movies man, it sucks. Hype Casting totally ruins movies, cast people who can actually act!

The group of violent, rabid, easily swayed young people that Democrats use to bully the country toward their policy and social narrative. Protected and implicitly/explicitly organized and encouraged by left wing political operatives at the behest of politicians. This is a necessity for them and a textbook part of the strategy to push the country toward socialism and increased government powers as well as reduced freedoms. The thugs are generally protected and treated favorably by leftist district attorneys and reluctant police at the order of local and state democratic officials. Case in point all of the BLMANTIFA thugs who were not prosecuted or harshly sentenced despite egregious lawbreaking, including violence, theft, and destruction of property
The thug caste is an instrumental part of left wing politicians getting force and feet on the ground against the general population and to silence any narratives the left wishes to keep from public view
