Pointing guns at BLM protesters literally gets you a speaking slot at the Republican National Convention

Fuck outta here if you think being a conservative is some kinda scarlet letter.

LMFAO, I'm looking at some of the responses defending him, especially from other celebrities, they seriously act like Chris Pratt lost his career or something, when all people did, was vote him as the worst "Chris."

Nah, people took it a step further and called him a white supremacist, a racist, a bigot, all sorts of stuff. I think that's what people are up in arms about.

A harmless little "oh he's the worst Chris out there" isn't worth getting upset over.

I was following the trend for a while on Twitter, and I never saw it get to level of "White Supremacy". The worst I saw, were accusations that he was a homophobic, Trump supporter. Which, even if he's not homophobic, he's complicit in homophobia due to his church.

Either way, it was a poll that stated, "One Chris has to go", and a majority of responses said Chris Pratt and that was due to the recent controversy with his church.

That's like saying your complicit in "insert terrible thing here" because of the "thing your loosely associated with."

The combinations to complete such a sentence are endless.

  • If you are a registered democrat then you'd be complicit to every single negative thing that party is associated with.
  • If you are a registered conservative then you'd be complicit w/ every terrible thing Trump has ever done.
  • If you are white then you are complicit w/ every single supremacist group.
  • If you are black then you are complicit in every single BLM riot.
  • If you were born in Russia then you are complicit with every single security leak.
  • If you are from the middle east then you are complicit with every single act of al qaeda based terrorism.
  • If you reside in Texas then you are complicit with every single gun control tragedy
  • If you reside in California then you are complicit with every single homeless related tragedy.
  • If you were born before 1985 then you are complicit to global warming.
  • If you were born after 1985 then you are complicit to the fall of the working class.
  • If you own a PS4 then your are complicit of franchise exclusivity.
  • If you own a X1 then you are complicit of ant-game ownership.
  • If you own a Switch then you are complicit to mediocrity.


I mean the list just goes on forever. It never ends. Judge people based upon their individual merit. Stop lumping them into large group based on loose associating factors. Collectivism is wrong. Think for yourself. Come on people!

It is pretty fucked up that they didn't defend Brie Larson. The amount of vitriol she received dwarfs whatever Chris Pratt is currently experiencing.

Agreed

Like the major complaint with Larson was that she wanted more people of color to work in Hollywood.
When you have to lie to make a point, rethink your stance

She didn't say she wanted more "people of color" Not just that anyway, she said she didnt want and didnt like white men

That's sexism and racism and lying to defend it is super fucked up

But you'll defend tweets about Arabs bombing crap and living in sewage,

Ehh, it feels like a bit of a wash at this point though, 10 years later, because Shapiro has admitted that his Arab tweet was a bad decision on his part. Hes said that publicly and not because it got backlash. He gets backlash for all kinds of things, so he doesnt care about that. Hes reflected on it and, instead of doubling down, decided that it wasnt right. Hes talked about that during question and answer periods of his public events, so he isnt hiding from it.

She said it multiple times verbally in recorded TV interviews across the span of years

She is racist and that's not funny

That's why people got upset about her

Going from flat out lying to feigning ignorance about the lie is not a good look

The only thing I don't like about Brie is she acts like a huge victim to society. I'm sure she gets cat calls and harassment and that sucks but you're a big girl celebrity. You have to learn to shake that shit off and stop acting like the sky is falling down on you.

Edit: I live in the Castro district of San Francisco. The gayest place on earth. There is a church on every corner out here, and there are many thousands of gay christians. Just because somebody is a christian doesn't make them a homophobe. Churches are accepting to everybody - even if they as a whole do consider homophobia a sin, they still allow gay men & women to enter their temples and pray. They don't exclude them.
It makes you complicit when you defend them following criticism. Homophobia and conversion therapy...so yeah, no.

I think it's unfair that people are giving him an absolute unforgiving look. Yes there's evidence against him but there are evidence to him being a good guy too. You guys just want to ONLY see the bad and will not accept the good. Pretty closed minded of you to be this way and no matter what Chris is, it's also pretty telling of what kind of person you are.

He follows Ben Shapiro and other shitty conservative people and sites on social media.

He has two stories where he is shitty with a pet (although this is shared with Anna Faris).

He does sound like he's probably a douchebag and the worst Chris. I don't think he should be cancelled or anything but I'm not really sure what the big deal is other than people saying he sucks on Twitter.

Because he's part of a church that is anti gay.

Going "People are mad him for being CHRISTIAN!" is just as dumb as Pegasus going "People are mad at Brie for wanting people of color to have jobs!"

But all he said was the same thing I did. "I support gay rights, my church is accepting to everybody. Everyone is welcome to attend regardless of their sexual preference."

What you are looking for is a denouncement. Just like stans of Brie Larson were looking towards her Avengers castmates for support of her ideals and denouncement of the patriarchy or whatever.

Not responding to a situation the way that you personally would like, does not make anybody complicit in things they have nothing to do with.

It's like me accusing you are being a complicit Trump supporter because you haven't yet made an individual topic denouncing him. Actually, that's kind of exactly what Twitter is currently doing to Pratt.
