Rolling Stone takes a look at why Letitia Wright has gotten more backlash for her anti-vaccine comments than her Marvel colleague Evangeline Lilly.

Letita went on a video rant though. And didn't she go full homophobic too. Let's not make excuses but she has apologized and dragging it up again was suspect.

Also Evangeline is irrelevant. Letita is the star of Phase 5.

Not sure what you’re reading as that is largely incorrect. She didn’t “go full homophobic”* and she didn’t go on a “full video rant” either, she posted other people’s videos.

*I’m aware that the preacher she shared was transphobic but its pretty obvious Letitia was just doing it for the vaccine reasons, it’s not like she’s been supporting JK Rowling or liking anti-trans tweets elsewhere.

But she follows homophobic and transphobic people on IG, according to a comment above. Letitia is absolute trash and it got amplified because of racism. Those are not mutually exclusive.

She follows over a thousand people. ”But they follow so and so on social media” is such a ridiculous standard to judge someone by.

But since we’re going by who she follows on social media…

She’s also following Yasmin Finney, a trans actress.

Hunter Schafer from Euphoria who is trans

And Amplify Dot/Ashley Charles, a lesbian DJ.

Not going to go through hundreds of profiles but she doesn’t have a problem following trans or gay people.

Letita went on a video rant though.

What video rant? Ontd loves to make what happened bigger and bigger with Wright, and saying no one cares about someone who is being interviewed in big publications is not the point.

The point is how not only Wright was treated and her near death accident on set (due to Marvel negligence) was brushed aside, but how Black woman are held to an impossible standard and punished much harshly by everyone.
