"About a year ago, I started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed it appeared to be overwhelmingly white male,” Larson said when asked about her reasons for choosing Brown as her interviewer. “So, I spoke to Dr. Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, who put together a study to confirm that. Moving forward, I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive. After speaking with you, the film critic Valerie Complex and a few other women of color, it sounded like across the board they weren’t getting the same opportunities as others. When I talked to the facilities that weren’t providing it, they all had different excuses.” “I want to go out of my way to connect the dots,” Larson said. “It just took me using the power that I’ve been given now as Captain Marvel. [The role] comes with all these privileges and powers that make me feel uncomfortable because I don’t really need them…It’s a by-product of the profession and a sign of the times. But any uncomfortableness I feel is balanced by the knowledge that it gives me the ability to advocate for myself and others.”..."Am I saying I hate white dudes?” Larson said. “No, I’m not … [but if] you make the movie that is a love letter to women of color, there is an insanely low chance a woman of color will have a chance to see your movie and review your movie.”

Are you assuming that everyone who had issues with Brie's statements are MRAs?

You wanna know something, in the event this happens next year, it's gonna be butthurt Clinton fans trying to reset 2016 that will reelect Trump instead of picking a solid candidate. |

Are you assuming that everyone who had issues with Brie's statements are MRAs? I wouldn't say that they are the only ones with issues. I'd say the ones you would really called Triggered as in they are the most vocal, tanking rankings, organizing parties to make multiple accounts as a campaign to alter ratings, etc; are mostly fringe. They are in the subset of MRA that have no clue that there vitriol is why most people don't take MRA's seriously. Also those that don't even know what MRA's are but have the same vitriol and response as the clueless MRA. As a concept dealing with problems specific to Men isn't wrong. The fact that men die more on the job, are only ones to eligible for the draft, get tougher sentences for the same crime that females do, have less power in custody cases, more men die of suicide (altho women attempt it more often), etc. Are important topics and should be discussed and mostly isn't. There is a subset that try to deal with these problems with out the anger/poison/vitrol and identify as MRA. They usually also understand that it's not a battle of who is treated worse. They understand that women have shitty problems too as a gender. It's my personal opinion being on the net for 20+ years that they are the minority when it comes to Men trying to deal with those problems. The majority of MRA and the other men that have similar concepts, but don't think of themselves as MRAs, see it as a zero sum game. That if they even consider acknowledging the other side they are going to lose. And trust me there are just as many on the Female side too. They don't see themselves as the other side of the coin. What I have seen its the fringe on both side that is the most vocal and call for shit like boycotts, tanking movie ratings, etc. Like this situation. I think Larson is completely fucking what she wants up. She is expressing her want for inclusion (which honestly is a good thing) the exact correct way to trigger the Fringe and to disassociate from people who aren't fringe, but are still sensitive to current gender politics. I think her intent is good but her method is completely fragged. Just my 2 cents. |

You wanna know something, in the event this happens next year, it's gonna be butthurt Clinton fans trying to reset 2016 that will reelect Trump instead of picking a solid candidate. We picked a solid candidate. Hillary beat "most popular politician" Bernie by four million votes, and beat Trump by three million. What cost her the election? About ~70,000 votes in three swing states. Thanks, "protest voters". But now we're getting off topic. This is a thread for all the "alpha males" who mock people for being triggered, and then get their man-panties in a bunch because a woman said she doesn't want all her interviewers to be solely white men. |

Do you have proof of this? Because based off of the people in these cbm boards, it seems most people who are irritated are simply irritated about her politicizing the movie. I have barely heard anyone here spouting MRA beliefs. |

And in that regard, believe it or not, I'm on your side on this matter. It just might help matters if you'd not over-generalize people. Recall how that worked for Madam Clinton.  |

I have barely heard anyone here spouting MRA beliefs. 1) I disagree that simply wishing for a more diverse field of interviewers is "politicizing" anything, and if anyone is "tired" of that, then in my opinion they need to take a long, hard look at themselves. 2) To be fair I haven't been on this board much, but if you look at just about any video about CM on YouTube you won't have to scroll long before seeing someone saying something like, "I'm boycotting the movie because Brie Larson said she doesn't want white men to see the movie!!!" You can also find these comments all over Twitter. |

You can also find these comments all over Twitter. 1. Brie has stated that this movie has provided her with a platform to reach out to more people regarding her views. That's pretty much politicizing the movie. 2. That doesn't make them MRA's. If you dislike the idea that people are going to be excluded from something because of their gender or race, that doesn't automatically make you an MRA. To be clear, I'm not saying that's what Brie did (Unlike others, I actually read what Brie said and know she didn't specifically say she was excluding white men). But for those who misunderstood her meaning, that doesn't mean they're MRA's. |

We picked a solid candidate. Hillary beat "most popular politician" Bernie by four million votes You didn't pick a solid candidate. The DNC hand-picked Hillary with "super-delegates" long before the primaries even started. Had the DNC let the people choose, without any of that crap "super-delegates", Bernie Sanders would've been the Democratic nominee. The DNC is most responsible for Trump getting elected POTUS because the DNC hand-picked a crooked candidate whom nobody wanted. |

So basically Brie Larson wants to choose her interviewers based on their race? Sounds pretty racist. She wants to make sure more women and minorities aren't shut out of the press junkets. And she wants to do that by excluding interviewers based on their race and/or gender. Sounds pretty racist. |

How is Captain Marvel a love letter to women of color?
That’s not rhetorical, I’m genuinely curious what she means by that.
