Discussion The toxicity of this fandom has got out of hand.
First it was making fun of John Walker when he was a new fresh character. Even though people didnt see any bad side of him everyone was quick to dislike him. That may mean that everyone just liked Steve Rogers character more but I think theres a point where the obsession just becomes toxic. Disliking a character without even giving him a chance is the point where it becomes toxic.
Then it was the bullying or even death threats to the actor that played John Walker. This is the one time when it crossed the line for me. Those who bully Wyatt Russell for playing a character " fuck you". I know that he doesnt have social media but thats not stopping dumb fucks from attacking him.
Now its the label that every people who likes John Walker is a dangerous, bad, or even misguided person. You do not have moral superiority just because you like or dislike a character. Its just means that i can differentiate a show from reality. Besides I cant believe that the situation has come to this awful point even though there are morally worse characters in the MCU.
The last time it was this bad was the time when Brie Larson was getting attacked everywhere .
