Simu liu gay

Simu Liu, star of the superhero film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, once made comments on Reddit sympathizing with pedophiles and likening them to gay people according to a series. Another wrote: "What keeps me from watching the Barbie movie? Simu Liu being homophobic and racist." You see, the Shang-Chi actor has been in hot water since after fans uncovered that he had allegedly made some controversial comments in the past.

So, what exactly did Simu say? We explain below. Twitter users shared posts attributed to Simu Liu in which the Shang-Chi star allegedly compared pedophilia to homosexuality. He called Twitter a 'slanderous place' in a tweet from Thursday. Marvel's newest action hero actor, Simu Liu, allegedly once compared being a pedophile to being gay -- which he likened to a genetic mutation and an illness and something he was sympathetic.

Back in , the internet connected Liu to a slew of questionably homophobic and misogynistic Reddit comments posted by a since-deleted account called “NippedInTheBud.”.

Last week, fans began sharing screenshots of Reddit comments the actor allegedly made years before he was well known. Somewhat more concerning than the digital company NippedInTheBud kept, though, were ideas expressed in a post likening pedophiles to gay people. Depending on what area of the world you were born and what time, it also may have been a perfectly acceptable thing to act on those urges.

In the series, Liu portrayed Paul Xie, the eldest son of a powerful real estate magnate, who becomes one of the suspects after his younger brother Charlie Osric Chau dies under mysterious circumstances. Over the course of the first season, you learn how, as children, Paul molested Charlie, and the abuse eventually drove Charlie to substance abuse in the following years.

When Charlie ultimately threatens to tell everyone what Paul did to him, the elder brother kills his younger sibling in a panicked rage, and the bulk of Blood and Water focuses on detective Josephine Bradley Steph Song piecing the mystery together. To its credit, Blood and Water thoughtfully explores ideas about how familial shame and secrecy often end up becoming sources of trauma in and of themselves.

But it was, and continues to be beyond irresponsible and deeply homophobic to liken queerness to pedophilia as NippedInTheBud did after the mountains of research they purportedly put into preparing for the role. Or better yet, just log off. Liu is expected to reprise the role in other MCU productions in the future. Wondering where our RSS feed went? You can pick the new up one here.
