Just because you're too much of a sissy to call prejudice what it is, doesn't mean it isn't prejudiced. There is a massive difference there that you are refusing to acknowledge. Its not hypocrisy, because its not a the same in any way. BTW I am saying both your opinion above and Brie's comment are both wrong, though I do think Brie's point stands.

Also, and this is a train of thought that I am extremely confused by, if a movie wasn't made for me, why am I expected to praise it, or even go see it? Should I condescending tell my girlfriend, "I don't care if you don't like Iron-Man, this movie isn't made for you." And actually, let's loop LBC's staunch defense that there was no pandering in Marvel back into these Larson comments. *Nearly all Marvel movies are starring a white dude *gets mad when there's a female lead that states she doesn't care about what white dudes have to say about her movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you're cool with prejudice against white dudes doesn't mean it's not prejudice. Just own it, being racist is cool again, hadn't you heard?

First response almost every time. LBC, Rams, and now you. Everybody who disagrees with you is mad. All while you seethe in self-perceived moral superiority over the unclean proletariat internet masses. It's actually funny. I mean, I'd be mad if Chris Hemsworth said he didn't care about what white dudes had to say too. I'd be mad if Anthony Mackie said he didn't care about what Arabs had to say. That's the beauty of not playing in the privellage Olympics, I can just call trash people what they are without having to compute any privellage points mathematics. And Brie Larson is a trash person. You didn't answer my question though, Marvel made a movie that supposedly isn't meant for white dudes. Why the hell are white dudes expected to show up and cheer for it? Unless they perceive themselves as somehow superior to "those white dudes" which takes a significant level of mental gymnastics and a superiority complex.

He expected me to call him a bigot and said that a movie about an African country was critical of white America in a way that didn't make sense. I think we can probably get to the bottom of this one. When "white knighting", "cuck", and "beta" come out unironically on the same page, the best case scenario is to just make like the rest of society and forget about them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these groups is heavily persecuted, victimized, and marginalized and one not only isnt, but continually takes advantage of said things done to the former; but you are right, there is NO difference.

Always gotta be making stuff up. I haven't called you a cuck or a beta. But there you go again, you just lie and lie and lie until you can stick everybody into a box that's easy enough for you to dismiss. As far as the rest of society dismissing anybody that disagrees with you, man dude, you got to look outside. Sure as heck (sorry LBC) looks to me like your side is losing the PC wars.
