    Was it her that said we need more women and people of color reviewing movies? A lot of people took that as no white people ever should review movies 🙄

      She said that she wanted to interviewed by more than "white dudes".

      I vaguely remembered that.

        the quote that made the gamers mad (I think) was: "I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of color, biracial women, to teen women of color.”

        she follows it up with “Am I saying I hate white dudes? No, I am not. What I am saying is if you make a movie that is a love letter to women of color, there is an insanely low chance a woman of color will have a chance to see your movie, and review your movie.”

        So she made a good point basically (about how all film reviewers are white guys, which is quite accurate) and the gamers' takeaway was that Brie Larson called for white genocide

        Ah ok, I think that sort of comment was the last thing I remember that really got under their skin
