Just an old case of "Reverse the gender and you're in for a treat"

Mr_Shad0w · 2019-07-23T17:33:00+00:00

Well, if I heard correctly Thor is now a woman, so maybe we'll get to see the reverse of this scenario.

Still sucks that no one cares that men are treated like this.

McFeely_Smackup · 2019-07-23T18:00:50+00:00

he stood up for his rights, and his punishment was death by JPEG compression.

Lion_amongst_gods · 2019-07-23T18:34:38+00:00

Wow! This is absolutely disgusting. I bet if this goes viral, they're gonna say the interview was scripted.

odiegh · 2019-07-23T19:16:18+00:00

this was the same guy who literally played the stupidest human ever who was objectified by women in a position that in the original was handled by smart, effective, efficient, wisecracking women... it's so far from a double standard it needs a new definition like an 8th standard

Danmingle · 2019-07-23T22:51:59+00:00

This also maybe out of context. The director is a comedian. Hemsworth is a sex symbol actor. He's calling like it is. We shouldn't glorify oversensitivity and stoop down to feminists standards.

C2074579 · 2019-07-23T23:44:05+00:00

Girls are really coddled aren't they?

BorisKafka · 2019-07-23T19:35:40+00:00

I'm not modeling for the two of you anymore! Looks like I just got my first taste of the filthy side of this business!

2019-07-23T23:05:11+00:00

Well he should just man up and get over it /s

montereybay · 2019-07-24T01:39:48+00:00

Uhhh, is it possible that those two are using irony to lampshade the double standard...?

EXQUISITE_WIZARD · 2019-07-23T23:54:39+00:00

Hold on just a second, Taiku is making a joke here.

I do agree if it were the other way around feminists would flip shit, but let’s not scold him. That’s his humor

Albin05 · 2019-07-23T18:45:42+00:00

Jesus fuckin christ

qp0n · 2019-07-23T18:22:55+00:00

Why show a pic with text, then type out the same exact text? Either you're being stupid or your pic was shit.

GerinX · 2019-07-24T02:39:54+00:00

I understand your point, but for me, seeing Chris’ physique inspires me to hit the gym harder and become even healthier.

But you’re right. Your point stands. This would ruin a director’s chance for further work in Hollywood if Taika said this to a female actor.

2019-07-23T18:46:37+00:00

Amazing...

TracyMorganFreeman · 2019-07-24T00:00:11+00:00

You would be naive to think the allure of Thor doesn't include Hemsworth's physique, but that isn't all there is.

the_real_fellbane · 2019-07-24T02:05:56+00:00

Was this just for ragnarok? Because if I'm remembering right, when he was interviewed for the the 1st Thor movie, he couldn't wait to do the shirtless scene because of all the work he put in to get so buff.

2019-07-24T03:28:23+00:00

I don't see a problem here. Men are dumb pieces of meat, and women are highly intelligent elves from outer space.

BeeStingsAndHoney · 2019-07-24T09:54:22+00:00

I used to be really built and toned about 10 years ago, because I was going for a bodybuilding competition at the time. I had so many uninvited gropes that it was ridiculous. As a survivor of child abuse, it was quite confronting. At least it was mostly from girls and not an old man, but still.

TheGreatWallCensor · 2019-07-24T05:44:26+00:00

Ok seriously. This sub is cool BUT if y’all are going to pretend women aren’t forced to do way worse in movies well, they are. A shirt off? Come on. There are better hills to die on than fucking Thor being forced to take his fucking shirt off.

Bowdallen · 2019-07-24T00:38:37+00:00

I mean no one would have the balls to say it if the rules were reversed so candidly but this is the truth with movies for both genders there's tons of movies with gratuitous nude/sexualized scenes if women and men we just like to act like that's not what an actor or actress is doing.

healingbloom · 2019-07-24T01:14:24+00:00

This is heartbreaking :/

orcscorper · 2019-07-24T01:17:06+00:00

This is stupid. Why work out until you have the abs of a god, and then keep them under a shirt the entire movie? Why starve yourself down to such a ridiculously low body fat percentage that you can barely function, and severely dehydrate yourself so your kidneys nearly shut down, for a movie where you are dressed in armor the entire time?

They were poking fun, and the fact that women can't joke about that sort of thing without feminists screaming about sexism isn't evidence of a double standard against men; it's just evidence that feminists are morons. We already knew that. Let's not also be morons. It won't do us any good.

LunaTheNightmare · 2019-07-24T02:26:14+00:00

Holy hell this makes me so depressed, if the man isn't comfortable with it he shouldn't have to, same with anyone really

realvmouse · 2019-07-24T05:12:38+00:00

Just an old case of "this literally happens all the time to women, and to a lesser degree, men too."

letmereaddamnit · 2019-07-24T05:14:59+00:00

I do not even remember a shirtless scene in ragnarok

brian_reddit_77 · 2019-07-24T06:43:33+00:00

All actors are just meat puppets. Taika is 100% right.

CalmMango · 2019-07-24T12:55:36+00:00

How delusional are you guys to think this is anything other than a joke between friends?

And let's say this was real, let's pretend this joke wasn't a joke and he really meant it. You're going to blame women for something men do? You can't think about this for too long beyond the initial knee-jerk reaction because you'll soon find out there's alot of overlap and you agree with many things your enemies the "femoids" think.

MarsNirgal · 2019-07-24T22:59:47+00:00

He's the link to Taika's inverview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNFOPCdKlz4 (Or at leas an excerpt of it including the quoted part). Exactly how serious was he being here?

Edit: There are several inverviews in which Hemsworth discusses the situation, here's probably the most complete one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJFNWnAKxys

PhoebusElpollo · 2019-07-24T23:53:55+00:00

I'm pretty sure Taika was just joking with the piece of meat comment, because just like people like Ryan Reynolds, he's basically a comedian all the time. And the largest problem for Hemsworth was that he didn't want to have to exercise again, it had nothing to do with showing his body

AlexanderBOIII · 2019-07-25T00:15:33+00:00

Poor chris :(

stealthymangos · 2019-07-24T02:39:33+00:00

Yall are better than this. Theres nothing wrong with friendly people making jokes. Context context context. Jesus, what is up with the knee-jerk reaction?

woofcatbutterfly · 2019-07-24T03:53:36+00:00

Honk honk 🤡

Ryssaroori · 2019-07-23T22:57:15+00:00

What a fucking scumbag

Ryssaroori · 2019-07-23T23:17:32+00:00

What a fucking scumbag

Philletto · 2019-07-23T23:04:32+00:00

The NZer who destroyed the MCU. Right before Infinity Wars.

Vermilionette · 2019-07-24T03:40:29+00:00

Women are sexualized just as much as men in media so...

cakiture · 2019-07-24T00:09:21+00:00

Yes, I'm sure Hemsworth was traumatized that Thor did the 50th shirtless scene. Absolutely scarred that the monster that is Taika forced him into that situation.

Or, they're having fun because they both know that it's fine.

"What if the genders were reversed?" It wouldn't be the same thing now, would it?

logan-is-a-drawer · 2019-07-24T00:21:00+00:00

Dude is a great director, but I just lost quite a bit of respect for him.

PBR_Sheetz · 2019-07-23T20:15:09+00:00

Really guys, we are upset about this? He is an actor, his job is to be looked at and he is paid handsomely for it. I see no problem with this whatsoever.

And for the 'reverse the gender' title... are you implying that female actresses aren't pressured to wear revealing clothes and treated like eye candy? because I would say that it is 10x worse for them.

ClaudioKillganon · 2019-07-23T19:53:12+00:00

You guys are acting like Twitter people. You're overly sensitive about what is OBVIOUSLY a joke. Yes, double standards against men exist, but you're taking this joke out of context.

ohchristworld · 2019-07-23T20:29:25+00:00

Chris Hemsworth is a good dad and husband, and a seemingly manly man who works his ass off to stay fit. But I also read other things about him that show me he’s very Hollywood liberal.

I’m in North Dakota, and he was one of the outspoken celebrities in opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline a couple years ago. There is no way he had any fucking clue what it was even about or the intricacies of the project. He clearly just said what his peers (namely Mark Ruffalo) told him to say, and I can’t respect that.
