Obama was a straight up race baiting piece of fuckshit no better than Al Sharpton. He didn't try to fix anything. The motherfucker blamed both sides after a black nationalist murdered cops in Texas.
Wow.

No one cares what color the journalists are on your press tour, all we care about is how well made of an iconic super hero interpretation you protrayed. Stop virtue signaling and stick to the damn script.
If no ones cares except her, why do you care about it?
We are supposed to believe women, notably white women, the most pampered spoiled, people on planet Earth need this movie to feel better about themselves? Are you fucking kidding me?Not false equivalencies at all. You just agree with one, yet disagree with the other. That's all. You don't think bigotry exist so how can we have a real conversation about this?
I think you are misunderstanding what people are saying when they say, "I'm proud to be a women" after watching something like this. This part takes empathy to understand but I'll try to explain it. When someone gets picked on for large parts of their life, it's 100% understandable when they see someone they can identify with do something great. It's like being a whimpy nerd all your kid years. And then seeing a movie where the weak nerdy kid wins by getting a sexy chick and winning in the end. For a moment that nerdy kid may feel proud of the things that makes him a nerd and may realize that, "yes I am cool in my own way and I should stop caring what people say about me."
And about diversity I know your thoughts on it and we disagree and that's fine. But it's 100% okay for her to give people an interview that normally wouldn't get that oppuntunity. Diversity isn't limited to race and gender, but those two things are part of diversity. To say otherwise is just ignorance.

Your reward feisty people:
Now that the faux outrage doesn't have a place in this discussion, you can enjoy the movie now.
she doesn't know what she said? Is playing stupid a common trait for actress or just a speciality of Brie's?

I don't know the answer to those questions. But if she saw the list and it was mostly white dudes......I doubt "those" would just so happen to be the people that were the best qualified to give the interview. Logic just doesn't work that way. And you have to think of the interviewer that she's picking also speaking to people that probably look like that person also. Brie clearly wants to speak to fans that are outside of the "NORMAL" Hollywood interview bubble.
Not sure why this is such a big deal that she wants to work and think outside the box.
It's not the case. I stated that because it was something I lacked when I couldn't identify with someone else's issue with something. It's one of the main reasons why I participate in conversations on GAF about non-game related stuff. It helps me empathize with people that I disagree with. I love understanding a perceptive that I personally don't have.
The color of someone's skin is more than "just" the color. It's something that's been very hard for some to understand on this forum. But being black in America is something that many of us understand. To some degree it is a shared experience. We don't "all" feel the same about stuff obviously, but most of us at least identify with similar things that happened to us, our friends, or family.
My answer to the bolded question is why not gender and race? Why does it have to be politics and class? It's her choice. It's not like she's demanding other actors to do the same thing. Why is choosing based on politics better than gender? And we can't live by MLK's words if the vision on the country he wanted still doesn't exist today. There are many states today that can fire a person just for the pure fact that they are gay or lesbian. I'd like to see stuff like that change first, before I get upset at Brie Larson doing more interviews that market to women and minorities.
The joke is on you playing the victim status, wanting to boycott, claiming she's a male hater with daddy issues, is trying to dethrone white men, etc. None of that is real, it's theatre.

That's the fluffiest fluff interview I've seen in quite a while. I didn't watch to the end, but I wouldn't be surprised if the interviewer ended up completely disappearing in Brie's bumhole, "I swear, honest to god, I think you're totally awesome... now please dear movie producers don't fire my sorry rear, I'm only here to sell that movie to the audiences".
Brie Larsson suddenly "not remembering what was said or what she said" is just blatant damage control. You're really telling me that the woman who is single-handedly supposed to save womankind on the premise of a silly popcorn flick, who worked closely with "Dr. Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative" for almost a year and who talks about her identity pandering in every single interview, doesn't remember what she said?
"Oh yeah that little thing where I chided my white male audience, yeah pff, 's no biggie really, is hardly worth remembering so let's please all forget about it and come see the movie", Brie said smilingly as the numbers of her box office prediction flashed before her very eyes. "You're totally awesome", the paid shill replied while fiddling on his ridiculous tie.
For everybody else with a working brain who isn't hopelessly naive, it's quite evident that this movie is being marketed not on the premise of its cinematographic quality, but on pure identity pandering. Having pretty much tapped out their demographic, Marvel seeks to diversify its revenue stream by luring female viewers to their movies out of a twisted sense of identitarian solidarity. "Come and see my movie, together we will save womankind"... through a silly piece of vapid entertainment that's only there to line Marvel's pockets as the sheepish media-addicts are flooding the cinemas in order to watch explosions with an added pinch of morally injected double plus feel good. If Robert Downey Jr. would have told me that he's going to save "menkind" with his Iron Man movie, I'd have also given it a pass.
This is pure unadulterated capitalist focus-group marketing disguised as faux activism. Everybody falling for that ridiculous bullcrap is just thick as a brick.
Who?He plays Captain America in the MCU.
Popular and entirely forgettable.Kinda weird to not know who he is considering how hugely popular Avengers and Captain America movies are.
Why would she reach a larger audience by being interviewed/reviewed by people who has a specific gender/skin color rather than their expertise at the job ?
.
Footnote: Employment law in America is fucked because any employer can fire anyone for any reason they like (as far as I'm aware) - this is not true in the UK, and perhaps explains part of our differences of opinion. This is more a problem of America doing nothing to protect workers than an explicit problem of sexism or racism.

The "if you don't like it, don't buy it" ultimatum did not work as expected the last time somebody tried that.
And they've already started pushing fake news.

Except... if you actually look at the page, there are bunch of 5 star ratings and a single 3.5 rating.

I didn't know you lived in the UK. That explains some things. To follow up, no in America you can't fire people for any reason. There are laws that protect people in America from that type of stuff happening. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/our-work/workers-rights
But as of right now you can be fired in the majority of states in America just for the pure fact that you're gay. It's illegal in all 50 states to do that to someone on the basis of their gender\race\religion, etc.
The "our turn" narrative is still going strong, like what, 40 years after Alien? There are less of these types of female characters, sure, but I mean, I could be mistaken, I get the sense that a lot of this comes from a place of "it's our turn now" and "oh, you boys mad about a female lead?", when it's like, no, we've enjoyed them for decades now.
Same thing's going on in comics. Marvel decided to change basically every heavy hitter character to make them more "diverse," people got their backs up, said people were called racist, sexist, misogynists, homophobes, etc... And yet, comics have been diverse since at least the 60s. No one complained when Rhodey became Iron Man in the 90s. No one complained when Storm lead the X-Men. No one complained about Captain Marvel when she was a black woman. No one complained about Northstar coming out as gay. Yet suddenly all of the fans of those characters are *ist/*phobic because they didn't like the direction Marvel took? Seems unlikely.
Shit, games too to some degree. Remember that Medal of Honor game with the female lead character, based on a real person? Compare that to the way BF5 was handled. Things were diverse, and getting ever more diverse as time went on. I don't understand how this narrative continues to propagate.
This is rich. Brie is quite "woke."

seems like this conversation has turned strictly political?

Arguing that people's skin color dictate how they see a movie is political, sorry.For some reason not wanting all the people you interview with to be "Overwhelmingly white and male" is now a bad thing.

We need another He-Man movie. He's not just a man. He's a He! A HE! MAN! That's double the toxicity, plus that haircut!A studio just to fuck with people should make a official trailer for a superhero movie with a male lead saying A HE-RO... and see how sjws go nuts, lmao.
You know, I keep seeing people say this about fmr Pres. Obama... That he was a race baiter... But their arguments NEVER hold water.
And him being a black man has a different take on it than a white president would have...
Look, kid... There's still racism in this country ...
Edit: lemme look up what Pres. Obama said.
There are legitimate issues that have been raised, and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by [Black Lives Matter.] And if police organizations and departments acknowledge that there's a problem and there’s an issue, then that, too, is going to contribute to real solutions.
Pretending Trayvon Martin was a victim in any way? Or Clockboy? Or Henry Gates?
Well that reeks of racial prejudice.
Yeah, it's called affirmative action. And don't call me kid, boy.
Weird. You never came back. I guess you stumbled across this and realized that, yes, he did blame both sides;
Because people who actually bothered to look at the 'data' and 'evidence' at the time knew black lives matter wasn't based in reality.
Can't all be pretty or good actors either.

I really don't understand why people like you act like something is wrong with a guy if he doesn't find every single woman in the universe attractive.You must Leonardo Di Fuckin Caprio in real life
Could you explain AA in a non racist way?3. You think affirmative action is racism? Hold on... I'm gonna go laugh outside (I'm on my lunch break right now...)
