Jackson said his dear friend is the target of sexist vitriol because"she’s a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it."
The Marvel Cinematic Universe famously spawned the undying love between Zendaya and Mr. Zendaya —but it also helped cement the equally undying, platonicbetween Samuel L. Jackson and his co-star, Brie Larson. That friendship means that Jackson is now always raring to go to bat for Larson, who’s a frequent target of nasty, sexist vitriol from male Marvel fans.
“These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she’s a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be,” he said. “She is who she is, and she’s genuinely that.” That Jackson, 74, subjected himself to learning what an “incel” is just to defend his much younger best friend from online harassment, is, to me, the epitome of true friendship. Should I live to be 74, I hope I never have to learn whatever the latest terminology is for violently vengeful male trolls—though I suppose I would want to follow Jackson’s kind example and would be willing to learn just to excoriate those twerps for a real friend.within 24 hours of being posted.
But Larson, specifically, has long been a source of ire on men’s rights and incel forums due to her outspokenness about feminism in the entertainment industry—and certainly, for being Captain Marvel. Larson’s fans have criticized Marvel for not adequately publicly supporting her through the torrents of vitriol and harassment she faces from its heavily male fan base.
