Despite the fact that Marvel actors are adored by millions of fans all across the globe, some of them aren't immune to getting lambasted by critics on social media especially after a controversial rumor about them surfaces online.
Over the last couple of months, stars like Chris Pratt, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, and just recently, Mark Ruffalo have all fallen victim to cancel culture which virtually proves that nobody is safe.
Now, off the success of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sebastian Stan is the latest MCU celebrity to draw flak from fans. We reported recently that the hashtag #RIPSebastianStan trended on Twitter for no reason but as it turns out, the Bucky Barnes actor is being dragged into an issue over his alleged racism.
It all began when fans found out that Stan liked a video on Instagram of a man saying that white people should be allowed to use the N-word. It instantly sparked outrage within the Twitter community who are convinced that Stan is siding with the guy's sentiments about the derogatory term typically used against black people. Not only that, but Sebastian is also getting "canceled" for dating his current girlfriend who is allegedly a racist. Check out some of the reactions here:
Stan has yet to respond to the allegations but I gotta say, I find it ridiculous that the actor is getting ridiculed all over social media just because of a video he liked on Instagram. We're not even sure if he liked it because he agrees with the guy's opinion or he liked it just for the heck of it. The accusations are completely baseless but hey, it's a recurring theme in terms of cancel culture so I'm not entirely shocked anymore.
