They're calling her a White Male hater

I'm not defending her. I only just saw that video too. I think she's like a lot of naive white liberals that believe if they are pro-black and anti-white they are somehow morally righteous. They seem to believe they can say anything they want against white males and it's fine. Imagine, for a second, her comments but with "African American" and "white male" swapped. There would be uproar. It's okay in today's world if you preach equality and fairness, but what she said isn't, and she also said it was a bit of an attitude. A lot of her paying audience will be white males, so they are rightly annoyed.

She can say whatever she wants, but using a comic book movie as an "activism platform" instead of pure entertainment, bothers me, however the Captain Marvel character has sucked in comics since its inception, so fuck this racist bitch!

I think Larson represents the most emotional, least utilitarian version of the feminist argument, but you know what, fucking good on her for using her voice and giving a shit.

Lol, nearly came back and added that comment was on the hyperbolic side - clearly far more extreme cases than her out there. I meant feminists with influence, that her approach is too emotional to make much of a difference in the long run. What she advocates is only utilitarian in theory; for a proposition to have utility, broad practical acceptance is needed, and her rhetoric is too binary and in-group tribal to be a mechanism of change on its own. She uses language that distances her cause from nearly half of the population. I still think it's necessary, but it's closer to idealism than anything else.

She wants more representation in film critics and journalists. She doesn't want white men removed and beheaded. Just wants other voices added to the conversation.

I've grown tired of a lot of "SJW stupidity", but the anti-SJW outrage that follows is equally tiresome.

It's not about ego, it's about the SJW stupidity that people are tired of seeing in entertainment.

$153 mil OW says otherwise. Your kind are slowly being pushed back to the shadows.

The results of the most recent Presidential Election says otherwise. Imagine how much CM could have made if it didn't go out of its way to alienate anyone. Studios should place a gag order on its stars to make any political statements. It doesn't attract any new audiences and just hurts a movie. Just ask Lionsgate and Liam Neeson's comments.

Ahh yes, that's right. Hillary Clinton DID get more votes than that other guy. You're right. That further proves my point. People didn't even LIKE her and she whooped his ass in total votes.

Thanks for reminding me why this place was and still is toxic. Purposefully alienating about 46% of your potential audience is really stupid. That’s millions of potential people that might have seen your movie. Chippy and his type live in a bubble where apparently total votes matter and Hilary is currently president in their minds.

In Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel, Oscar winner Brie Larson portrays an elite extraterrestrial warrior with a cat named Goose who finds herself caught in the middle of a raging intergalactic battle. Offscreen, the comic-book movie adaptation is embroiled in its own war, clashing with internet trolls and toxic fans intent on sandbagging the action-thriller — sight unseen — with scathingly negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. Ultimately, Captain Marvel looks to have won. During its opening weekend, the film grossed a robust $153 million domestically to become the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s seventh-biggest opening to date.

“Any trolling had a negligible impact. It only served to heighten the conversation around the film and raise awareness,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore.

You only have to wait a couple of weeks and Frog Guy will swear he is leaving and won't ever return. He has done it already a dozen times. He is this site's Halley Comet. Back every 72 days although no one would care if he is away for 72 years.
