Captain America’s ‘heterosexual virility’ lamented by Vanity Fair

[Deleted]

Looks like SJWs are ruining the world by saying crazy things on the internet again

But really, this is just tumblr being tumblr... in vanity fair

Everything is just clickbait these days, no quality publications left

Robinson said directors Joe and Anthony Russo should not have said fans may “interpret the relationship [with Bucky] however they want to interpret it” since the character explicitly makes clear his attraction to women.

WTF

Did they forget Cap and Bucky are brothers!?!?

I mean...WTF?!?!

(edit: or am I getting that wrong? but i'm pretty certain Bucky was Roger's brother from the first movie)

[Ryme]

Hey they're keeping to the source material for character development, good for them.

[Hammerfest]

It's the leftist media... who is surprised by this?

Bucky Barnes, Steve Roger. Hmm, different Surnames, but not completely impossible.

But I think they weren't brothers, but they were such close friends that they might as well been.

"Boohoo, I'm a special snow flake! Why didn't they include something about me in there?!"

This crap is getting out of hand.

hah, wasn't even thinking about the surnames. Just scenes from the first movie.

Robinson said directors Joe and Anthony Russo should not have said fans may “interpret the relationship [with Bucky] however they want to interpret it” since the character explicitly makes clear his attraction to women.

“As if to put the nail in the coffin of speculation, Bucky and Cap paused for a moment in the middle of snowy Siberia to reminisce about their days chasing skirts in pre-War Brooklyn,” Ms. Robinson wrote Sunday. “It’s a sweet, human bonding moment but one that also bristles with heterosexual virility. If Disney isn’t inclined to give audiences a gay superhero, couldn’t they have at least left us the dream of Bucky and Cap? … Doesn’t ‘Captain America: Civil War’ go out of its way to “define” Bucky and Steve’s relationship when Cap smooches Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) while Bucky looks on approvingly? Where’s the room for interpretation in that moment?”

Maybe they're bisexual? But it seems Ms. Robinson never thought of that and jumped to conclusions, it actually shows her ignorance towards bisexuals.

Yes, two can play this game.

So they're not happy that the hero is made to be specifically homosexual? What's wrong with a heterosexual hero?

A strong heterosexual male. That's terrible, can't have that anymore. All men must be effeminate wimps who get bossed around by women and don't stand up for themselves. Captain America is also white so that's another huge strike against him.

there was no gays when steve rogers became captain america in the 40s, get over it.

He's from America too.

Three strikes. He's out with the SJWs.

Isn't the "effeminate gay guy" just a stereotype, mainly perpetuated by mainstream TV?

Yup.

Good thing they at least retconned Cap into having slightly green hue to his eyes. Because the combination of blonde hair and blue eyes is strictly forbidden in the age of SJWs. Give it a couple of more sequels and he's more gay than the post-retcon Iceman.

lol why does this cunt have a job?

[The Whimsical Dwarf]

I've never understood this push to make characters gay for no reason. Just stop.

[zenkai]

Why are people so obsessed with sexuality? We're not suppose to care about peoples sexual preference yet media outlets want to make it a big deal.

[Azalis]

Did this writer not watch any of the other Captain America movies? He was very clearly in love with Peggy Carter and Bucky was very clearly his best friend. There was literally no room for interpretation on this. I really don't understand stories like this.

If it weren't for her making insane SJW articles like this, would anyone even mention Vanity Fair this week? This month?

That's why everyone is going for clickbait and pandering to insane points of view, that's the only way to be noticed and read
