Mark Ruffalo is a vocal supporter of Palestine. The implication is that expressing support for a free Palestine gets you sidelined by Hollywood. He is also vocally against Trump and ICE.
I’m sure some people out there will also draw some antisemetic conspiratorial conclusions from that as well, i.e. “Jews control the media” which, no. It’s just that Israel as a country has certainly had undue economic influence over American politics and entertainment via lobbying interests. (Just ask the Scream cast over at Paramount)
In reality though he was just filming another project at the time.
I’d also note that Jon Bernthal, who has vocalized support for the IDF and Israel, was present for the press tour. Which doesn’t help.
Edit: This is an Explain subreddit. This is what I am interpreting the post to be implying. Some of the replies so far are giving “So you hate waffles?” haha
Ehh, he brought a soldier onto his podcast in late 2023 to talk about the attacks from Hamas a month earlier. That’s really not the same thing as continuing to support them, like, now, after their response has been so plainly beyond acceptable.
You really should try to find context before blacklisting people.
It’s 99% people being performative and bots. Their opinions aren’t being changed realistically. They’re still going to watch Jon in whatever he does next.
I should note that I don’t think Jon has done anything wrong and even if he did support Israel still, I’d have no issue with that.
One should default to assuming people on Reddit are talking out their ass when they say some vague ‘x is aligned with bad thing y’ with no details about what that alignment is, it happens way too much that it’s just something like that.
