How her comments triggered y'all so much, I'll never understand.
Not triggered by it at all. I'm just not going to lie about what she said.
quote:
Her argument was that she mostly sees middle aged white dudes on press tours and at screenings and that there are movies that are not for middle aged white dudes, so maybe the press pool should be more diverse.
She said this during her press tour for a comic book movie. Are you saying white men aren't the target audience of comic book movies?

your mischaracterizations and hyperbole about her comments say otherwise quote:

while specifically referencing "A Wrinkle in Time"

Nope. And neither was she.

I hope you rest your horse after this thread. You're knighting pretty hard.

Brie Larson is a bitch looking to push a SJW agenda IMHO.

You saying something isn't true doesn't make that the case. Anyone with a functioning brain is capable of reading her words and knowing they're about white men. It's not like she tried to hide it.

Wait..."A Wrinkle in Time" is a chick flick? Also, I haven't seen any statements from her saying her statement was specifically only about films that aren't marketed to white men. Do you have a link to your explanation that you imagined for her?
quote:

Then she shouldn't have made her statements during a press tour for a movie targeting white men.

I don't know. I don't think it is a movie targeted at 40 year old white dudes though, do you?

Here is her quote that triggered so many of you:
quote:
“It really sucks that reviews matter, but reviews matter,” she said. “We are expanding to make films that reflect the people who buy movie tickets . . . I do not need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work for him about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn’t made for him.”
Do you have a link to all the stuff you imagined for her?
quote:

She didn't. She made them at an awards ceremony specifically for women in film
*white knight OUT

Dont know about the US. But look up Captain Marvel in Australia. Its happening in some other countries.

I thought it was supposed to be targeted to kids. Is she calling for fuller representation of children in the press corp?

Here is her quote that triggered so many of you:
That's an interesting lie, considering I just provided the quotes I am talking about on the previous page:
quote:
“About a year ago, I started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed it appeared to be overwhelmingly white male,” she said. So she reached out to the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative.
“I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive,” Larson said, adding, “it sounded like across the board [women of color] weren’t getting the same opportunities as others.”
The funny thing is that your quote only bolsters my point.
quote:

Sure. I totally imagined this sit-down interview that wasn't at an awards ceremony specifically for women.

Your quotes come from the interview she did after her original comments at the awards ceremony. Those quotes are specifically referencing her comments made at the awards show.
Her comments at the awards ceremony started all this outrage.

That's nice. She clearly expanded her comments past just "A Wrinkle in Time" in those quotes.

This statement doesn't change anything about her bigoted views.

Dont worry about Salmon. I owned him earlier in this thread and he started "umad"ing me. Dudes a loser
Posted on 3/5/19 at 2:27 pm to imjustafatkid
Right. But her point was still the same. A point that was explained quite clearly earlier. One that you claimed was completely imagined.
Posted on 3/5/19 at 4:02 pm to imjustafatkid
Her comments weren't targeting the potential viewers of her movie.
Unless you feel the movie is targeting middle-aged white male entertainment journalism press corps.
That would be an impressively ballsy move to Target so narrow and specific a demographic.

It's funny how far you guys will go to twist her words into something other than what she said.

This is a direct quote from the article you linked:
quote:
‘About a year ago, I started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed ?it appeared to be overwhelmingly white male. So, I spoke to ?Dr Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, who put together a study to confirm that. Moving forward, I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive. After speaking with you, the film critic Valerie Complex and a few other women of colour, it sounded like across the board they weren’t getting the same opportunities as others. When I talked to the facilities that weren’t providing it, they all had different excuses.’
I'm just not seeing anything that should bother me about that.

She's the one bothered. I just think she's a moron and am not lying about what she said.

She had a problem with white men being there.
No where in that article does she say this.

BTW - this is low-key racism from the left. The idea that people of color need to have their white saviors fight for them is the epitome of "I'm better than you" thought.
