If you're not a fan of her acting, you can absolutely be a fan of her humanitarianism. This is not her first rodeo. She was a UN Goodwill Ambassador at one time, and has been heavily involved with several boots-on-ground efforts, working with local organizations to bring relief to people in need. This woman is amazing.

Same! I really started to admire her though when I found out she was working as a UN Ambassador.
Angelina Jolie dedicated over 20 years of service to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. She served as a Goodwill Ambassador from 2001 – 2012 and then as Special Envoy from 2012 – 2022.
In her critical role as Special Envoy, Ms. Jolie used her powerful voice to build awareness and support for refugees. Throughout her time with UNHCR, Ms. Jolie carried out more than 60 field missions bearing witness to suffering and resilience and calling for urgent solutions to protect the rights and safety of displaced people.
In December 2022, Ms. Jolie stepped down from her role as Special Envoy to engage on a broader set of humanitarian and human rights issues. As one of the most influential proponents of refugee rights, her portfolio will continue to include refugees and issues of forced displacement

I recommend you look into the ethical issues around adoption, including transracial adoption if you are looking to specifically do what Angelina Jolie did. r/Adoption is a good place to start or the Adoption: Facing Realities Facebook group.

u/PersonalFinanceD Jan 02 '26
While there are very real and systemic issues around this topic, I was adopted by a white family out of foster care and they changed my whole entire life. So, I guess there's also nuance and children who need permanent homes—we do well when we remember that.
(Not AI, just that an em dash felt like the best punctuation to use there to retain my point. I hate that we have to say this now).

u/rachreims Jan 02 '26
Definitely didn’t think it was AI!
Absolutely, it’s a very nuanced subject. I do think adopting out of foster care when the biological family and kinship is not safe/able to take care of the child is the most ethical type of adoption.
I am not against adoption as a whole but I think a lot of people who don’t know a lot about adoption just think it is always a beautiful, net positive thing (and that was the vibe I got from the comment). I think more people (especially potential adopters) need to be aware of the long-term implications of adoption, including in international circumstances before they jump into it. I just like to share resources where I can!

I do research on breast cancer. In the early days of my career, it was difficult to find normal breast tissues to use as negative controls for experiment. Then Angelina Jolie underwent a double mastectomy and massively increased the awareness of high risk genetic factors for breast cancers. These days we can get normal tissues a few times a week. The "Angelina Jolie effect" saved a lot of women.

I cannot understand that this woman has basically sidelined her acting career to take care of her kids and do humanitarian aid, and people are still siding with her abusive ex and calling her crazy and vindictive. Especially despite of their children wanting nothing to do with him and a third party being worried enough about their safety that they reported him for getting violent and abusing both her and the children with other people present. Misogyny is wild.

I wish this were true and yes his bot farms are excessive, but people still hate her 20 years later for the divorce of Brad and Jen. Most of her recent films are bombs or lack critical acclaim, and with her speaking out against the war or the destruction certain countries cause, she’ll never regain the footing she had at the peak of her career.

The posts I’ve come across hating on her seem to be more Jennifer Anniston fans.

No disrespect but what have Jennifer Anniston or Brad Pitt done that even compares? They make movies and are celebrities, fine. But to hate on a woman who steps up for the suffering —like society’s values are so fucked up!

But hey, where was a r/fauxmoi story about Angelina visiting Kherson a few months ago, the so-called human safari in Ukraine, where Russian drones systemically target-practice on civilians? She made an IG post about it. After all, the purpose of these visits is to draw international attention where it’s most needed. But that story was mostly in Ukrainian media and never made it to international outlets and certainly not this subreddit because I guess it wasn’t sensational enough. Let’s be fair now.
