:lol: You're defending double standards with "context?" Really?

To a much lesser extent, she also came and and said that she wants people to donate tickets for ''underprivileged'' girls to go and see the film. Which 1) Annoyed people because, y'know, there are ''underprivileged'' boys that can't see the film either
Annoyed "people"? Either source these people or admit you are the one who is annoyed, coward.
1) Can the potty mouth. It says more about your mentality than it does about mine, son.
2) Go onto Youtube and find one of the many high level creators that are talking about it and have comment sections full of agreeing voices. I'll give you one to start your journey with: ComicArtistProSecrets. 107 K subs. You're welcome.
Yeah I've seen that corner of YouTube. I also don't care what those babies think. And yes I think them babies if they're getting upset at that. Again I ask you: Black Panther? Were you up in arms then too?
1) Whether you care or not is irrelevant. You asked who ''they'' are. I gave you 107K of them.
2) Why are you bringing up Black Panther? Do you think that these two films are comparable? :lol:

Interesting. How do you feel about affirmative action?

I support it - it was right in the 1970s, it's right now.

1) I wasn't the one who asked. Do note who you're replying to.
2) You think Black Panther had no political promotion behind it? And did you miss all of the people and organizations arranging for screenings for black kids? How is that not comparable? Because you don't like Brie Larson?

I think that if there are girls that so much as feel discouraged from engaging in comic-centric circles because they're girls, then what Brie Larson was doing in question is quite admirable. I'm not of the mind to worry about double standards over a movie ticket that's for sheer entertainment value, where the perceived benefit is a bit more distinct from one group to the other. Though I guess technically you could say that "underprivileged" by itself is selective, even if on a generic level because you didn't consider those other facets mentioned.

Anyways I think it's a little more apparent the significance in Black Panther's promotion, if but a tad, but yeah I'm curious what there is to say on the matter.

I find it to be discriminatory. And I've directly benefited from it, incidentally.

Until our society stops treating Caucasian as the "standard", whether consciously or unconsciously, it's a necessity. Kind of like black history month, which was implemented for reasons of the same nature. Ideally we shouldn't have such programs, but it's needed for now.
