Vanity Fair has weighed in on the blockbuster movie “Captain America: Civil War” to lament the hero’s “heterosexual virility.”
Marvel Studios and Disney’s latest installment wowed audiences in North America to the tune of $181 million last weekend, but Vanity Fair writer Joanna Robinson left the theater disappointed. Her reason: Chris Evans’ character, super soldier Captain America, got nostalgic for his “skirt-chasing” days with best friend “Bucky” Barnes.
Robinson said directors Joe and Anthony Russo should not have said fans may “interpret the relationship [with Bucky] however they want to interpret it” since the character explicitly makes clear his attraction to women.
“As if to put the nail in the coffin of speculation, Bucky and Cap paused for a moment in the middle of snowy Siberia to reminisce about their days chasing skirts in pre-War Brooklyn,” Ms. Robinson wrote Sunday. “It’s a sweet, human bonding moment but one that also bristles with heterosexual virility. If Disney isn’t inclined to give audiences a gay superhero, couldn’t they have at least left us the dream of Bucky and Cap? … Doesn’t ‘Captain America: Civil War’ go out of its way to “define” Bucky and Steve’s relationship when Cap smooches Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) while Bucky looks on approvingly? Where’s the room for interpretation in that moment?”

In other words, a slash fanfic hack lucked into a high-paying job at a magazine I’ve never once looked at.
Looks like SE Cupp after a bad year.
How many cats you guess were waiting for her, when she finally trundled home? I’m betting at least four. ;)
The homosexual fascists want to endoctronate children in to their twisted sick preversions.
How long are we going to just stand by?
Well,,, our govt paid for a study about why lesbians are obese. She’s a case study. What a mo!
Why would Hollywood try to appeal to the normal 98% of the country in even one movie, when they could pander to the perverted and mentally ill 2% - again.
Hey no insulting cats. I have three waiting for me at home.

Guess they wanted him to be more faggy.
And the guy’s leaning away from her.
I guess for fat girls, queer guys make not being noticed easier to endure.
I think that’s what they call a “fag hag,” females whose only male attention comes from homosexuals.
So What?!!! Captain America in the comic books had his crush back in the 1940s, and he couldn’t get her due to his being encased in ice for so long. I mean the movie makers are just following some comic books and who the character is like in them. What is the problem? I am sure that they have alternate comic books where a character fits some fancy. Plus, saying Captain America acts too manly is part of the same stereotypes that the PC crowd complains about, or worse.
I’m guessing at LEAST 6 cats. . .
Our whole culture, every institution, heck, even every restroom has to be radically deformed in order to make the 2% of people who are gay happy and also to make male transvestites (0.3%??) happy. The world revolves around 3% of the people who have serious perversions or mental disorders and the 97% are expected to accept being treated like trash - somehow it is our duty to be treated like trash.
Come on, people. . . .if you want to talk possibly gay superhero pairs. . . .there’s Batman and Robin. . .
