Seriously? No. That's a seriously stupid idea. I'm dead serious when I say what you just said is seriously stupid. I'm super serious. Let's figure out where we agree and disagree. 1. Do white men have a disproportionate amount of power, influence, and representation in Hollywood? 2. Is that the result of discrimination? 3. Is it then also discrimination to maintain that status quo? You should join Twitter and follow the other MRAs that always justify a way to shit on women. I'll ask the questions here, thank you very much. 1. What does Disney have on you? 2. How long have you been a double agent shilling for them? 3. Why, damn it. WHY?! The answer to all 3 is; I'm just a fan that they have won over with consistent quality movies.
Now why do you not respect women?

Which is a very specific talking point espoused by very few people. Nobody respects women more than I do. That's not the issue at hand here, despite your desperate attempts to make this about MeToo, which, incidentally, is in and of itself a disservice to that important movement. The issue here is discrimination and censorship. Why do you support both? ETA: you also, uh... misused that semicolon. Again...

Discrimination is how we got to the point of white men having disproportionate power, influence, and representation in Hollywood (and elsewhere).

Of course we all support that. But her relentless message of hate and intolerance and discrimination -- and now ruthless censorship! -- undermines the values of the Captain Marvel character and jeopardizes our cherished MCU. She's a nuisance, a troublemaker, a shit-stirrer, an instigator, but nevertheless she persists! ETA: innit? Her "hate and intolerance" was literally her saying she didn't want to be interviewed by ONLY white men. So Brie Larson wants to choose interviewers based solely on their race and not on their qualifications or merits? Sounds pretty racist.

You also used some truly appalling racial slurs against my people. I mean, who calls Ackbars "Squidgies" anymore? What year is this? We have come too far to tolerate such reckless hate.

People shouldn't boycott things at all. From what I've noticed it seems to have the opposite effect. "Bad press is better than no press" seems surprisingly accurate. Whenever a company has a politically influenced ad it's boycotted by specific groups of people but sales still increase. Most the people that are boycotting Captain Marvel were most likely never going to see it in the first place.. while the people who were always going to see it are more likely to see it more than once. Then there are people who were maybe going to wait for DVD, Redbox, or streaming who disagree with the boycotter's opinions and are now going to see it in theaters out of spite. If these people truly wanted to make a dent in the failure of something, they are best off to keep quiet about it. A silent protest or boycott is going to have much better results. In my opinion, these negative reactions are actually increasing the film's success. Because people are spiteful AF.
I mean.. imagine the way your girlfriend/wife/significant other holds something over you after a disagreement.. these negative reactions are mostly being considered anti-feminist to a lot of SJW's or women so these people just basically increased the ticket sales by the female demographic. Many of these women probably didn't give a damn about this movie.. but they sure as hell do now.
