Let me just put it this way: The fact that this board's current most active threads are about Brie Larson's political views (and our arguments about it) instead of the actual movie is already proof that she's not handling this quite right. Regardless of whether you agree with her point of view or not, fact is her "speaking out" is pushing the Captain Marvel movie to the background while focusing the spotlight on her personal-political views.

Just because some people here may not agree with her points of view (or your point of view) doesn't mean you can automatically label them as "jerk snowflakes" or claim that they "don't want women speaking their minds". Applying a blanket insult like that to multiple people on this board is, I believe, against the rules of this board. Hauntedknight87 & scabab , please review. |

Or alternatively, this board has a lot of jerk snowflakes who don't appreciate women speaking their minds. That's my theory, anyway. I thought cinema was supposed to be escapism and a break from the boring day to day activities of real life. Not a public platform for a wannabe activist going on about politics. If she has a problem with the people at her press junkets, then privately write to the companies who send journalists and critics to her conferences/media days. Stop going public and bringing the general audience into the forum at every opportunity. This isnt about African kids dying or some other humanitarian crisis. Its privileged hollywood elites bickering in their own social bubble. Why do you think the Oscars in recent years had plummeting ratings. Because wannabe activists like Meryl Streep couldnt resist harping on about metoo and gender equality, and anti-Trump rhetoric in their acceptance speeches. Stop bringing these topics into the film universe. The audience doesnt care and are put off by these typa PR stunts, and thats all they are. As long as Brie Larson and Streep are getting paid big bux they really dont give a damn deep down. |

And your second mistake is thinking you get to tell people how to protest problems.

"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. So basically Brie Larson wants to choose her interviewers based on their race? Sounds pretty racist. DC-Fan, you know we're brothers in the fight, and I'll back you up and all that... But right now... shut the fuck up. Please. Just shut the fuck up. Know which battles to fight, and know when to shut the fuck up. She's trying to be IN-clusive, not EX-clusive.

The snowflakes are the ones who don't mind her speaking her mind. Its the rightist jerks who have a problem. Snowflakes tend to be liberal and thus skew feminist and social justice warrior. I should know. I am one.

Brie Larson wants to INclude certain people based solely on their race. That also means Brie Larson wants to EXclude certain people based solely on their race (since you can't have one without the other). That sounds pretty racist.

Correction: Brie Larson wants to INclude certain people who have NOT been included because of their race and/or gender. Period. The people who are ALREADY INcluded don't need you to defend them because they are already INcluded.
Don't let you MCU hate blind you in this matter.

Better than being narrow minded and backward thinking.

You are the one asserting that you can't have one without the other. If there are a finite number of spaces then for every person included, there is someone excluded. Of course it's D$snsey's and her prerogative who they select and don't select. Even so, I still think it might be a good idea for her to STFU and do the interviews rather than telling the whole world why she made those choices.

Now you guys did it! You went and made me google MRA. Why are you so mad at magnetic resonance angiograms anyway? White libs are mad about EVERYTHING!!! Even their non stop virtue signalling (painfully evident in this thread) can't stem the rage and desperate search for OUTRAGE that fuels their every action. It's actually quite intriguing psychologically but quite pathetic in every other way.

That also means Brie Larson wants to EXclude certain people based solely on their race (since you can't have one without the other). That sounds pretty racist. To include one person means excluding another. You really are making a terrible argument, and it's incredibly ironic that you're a POC arguing in favor of whites.
If one race is enjoying disproportionate representation, then there are two options; maintain the status quo, or don't maintain the status quo. You're saying it's racist to not maintain the status quo...
You forgot to reply here
