Considering Chris joined a protest. I expect his website to do what it was intended, I guess getting the discussions started and no topic off limits. I would be LIVID if they ignored everything currently going on. The site hasn’t launched yet, there was supposed to be a recent launch, but no word of anything. Looking forward to how this will “make a difference”, there is no perfect moment to launch but I want them to at least be able to explain what the site is for. I already voted so, meh. Lol
I mean I get chris evans wants a “thing” post-marvel, but A Starting Point just doesn’t seem like it’ll gain much traction. I suppose it could be used as a private space where opponents on an issue don’t need to grandstand for followers and so can be more intellectually honest w/ each other. But A) how many people would realistically sign up for that, B) can you think of a single topic that twitter considers ‘off limits’, and C) the big issues being discussed in public spaces right now do NOT have gray ares and CANNOT be compromised on. Like, Black Lives Matter? It’s detractors have heard its mission statement, have heard blm activists calmly and brilliantly state their case, have seen video evidence of police brutality with their own eyes--have they budged? Does any of this stop them from shitting out another “herrdurr store windows go smash makes u wonder who The Real Terrorists are hurrdusrdbbbdedpplpghtppp” tweet? No! And it never will.
