Belonging to an archetype of being a straight, white, Christian male. I mean there really is nothing he has done...literally nothing. It is also funny how it started with people assuming he must love Trump due to those descriptors when his father in law is Arnold Schwarzenegger to boot... guess this kpop stans forgit about thay.

i thought it was because he belongs to a church with some truly hateful views and doesn't denounce those views.

i thought that's what it was for, but i could be wrong

I mean, he abandoned an adopted dog in the middle of the road and he's a part of a notoriously anti-gay church. He's rightfully being called out on those shitty things.

Did this actually happen? I read a write-up on him and the foulest thing they found was him giving his old incontinent cat away to someone on Facebook due to having a newborn baby. Definitely would have caught that if it were in there.

It was two people who made homophobic comments from the Church. The idea that Church was specifically preaching like crazy fire and brimstone extremism is complete BS and to think he would have knowledge on what ebery single member of what his Church says is ridiculous.

Wasn't Obama's church actually preaching crazy shit on video by the way? And didn't the left defend that (i mean i did 6oo cause i didn't think that meant it was his beliefs automatically)...so that seems wildly hypocritical when one is preaching and the other is just two people who made comments that no one should reasonably think every member of the Church should know about.

"If he thinks abortion should be anything but illegal, he's not a true Christian" is what I assume the argument is.

Nothing in the bible states anything for or against abortion, also he's a nice christian precisely because he practices in private and never shoves down his religion on others throats

I literally defended Obama and thought the controversy was overblown. That isn't whataboutism, that is exposing hypocrisy. Two people made comments from a Church of hundreds to thousands of people and that is supposed to speak for Pratt and he is expected to have constant knowledge of these people? That is insane.

All this paranoia over celebrities getting cancelled and yet every single one of the ones still have careers. Even Mel Gibson.

Basically need to be a rapist or murderer to get a career cancelled and even that isn't guaranteed.

Matthew 6:6 disagrees with you.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray
to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father
which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

This is the most right-wing thing you will ever read me say on GameFAQs, but...

It's stupid when housecleaning applies to certain groups and not others. Men are supposed to call out bad men. White people are supposed to call out bad white people. Christians are supposed to call out bad Christians. Everyone else gets a pass and you're bigoted and you even remotely suggest that the good ones denounce the bad ones.

Denouncing the bad ones should be a universal call or it shouldn't be a call at all. I don't care how many double-standards a person tries to hide behind to explain why my responsibility is greater than that of the person standing next to me.

-Getting some criticism isn't the same as being cancelled

-Obviously that criticism isn't because he's a straight white man, because there are loads of those in hollywood and Chris Pratt in particular is getting some criticism

He gets criticism because he uses his platform to advertise his garbage church which has urged people to vote against marriage equality and which asked members to step down from leadership roles bc they were gay. If you use your fame to promote a church like that which obviously has a homophobia problem, you deserve to be called out/criticized.

Personally, I like the Chris Pratt archetype. He took us out of the angsty antihero phase (2001 - 2013) and brought us into the current era of relatable kinda-nice, kinda-jerkish dudes with a smile.
