Most of the dragging of Letitia I saw was from black twitter cause of her trans/homophobic and anti-vax tweets. So that’s one thing.

The Scott Feinberg article on the other hand was uncalled for because her and Will are not in the same category as some of the people mentioned.

I'm not discounting hate she got on black twitter, but I'm not on there. I do know that I saw a lot of dragging of Leticia everywhere because of the anti-vax stuff. It was pure out-and-out racism because I only saw the Evangeline stuff really here.

Again I think it’s because no one is checking for Evangeline. She’s only relevant when it’s ant-man time. I wouldn’t have known if not for ONTD.

Letitia in comparison was very well-liked and a bit of a breakout after BP 1. So people had more support and like for her. Her views got her into some hot water but she apologized so like whatever.

Like I said originally I don’t think she deserved that THR article or subsequent backlash since she’s reduced her social media.

I mean we know why. But I have always hated Lily and was more shocked about Letitia because I loved her in the first Bp and was rooting for her.

Nobody got cancelled though and they both are still collecting those Marvel paychecks. Worse yet their du,bass views still get a platform.

I know, and damnit, she was so good in WF, and it really showcased her. I mean, she was legit the lead/star of it. But such fucking nonsense from her. Ugh!
