John Krasinski accused of “propping up conservative ideas” by playing military characters

In a new interview with Esquire, John Krasinski defends some of his recent acting roles against criticism that he’s propping up conservative values.
in the 2016 Michael Bay-directed military thriller 13 Hours, Krasinski played a private military contractor and former Navy SEAL working in Benghazi. The casting, Esquire notes, drummed up theories that the former Office star was focused on playing “red-state heroes” who would appeal to conservative audiences. But Krasinski tells the magazine that critics are reading too much into his career choices — which he says are motivated by his personal ties to the military, not politics.

The bizarre world we live in, an actor had to “defend himself” against claims he’s propping up dangerous conservative ideas by playing military and CIA characters. FYI, he’s a lib like the rest of Hollywood.
Sorry. I saw this headline and just cracked up.

Krasinski & his actress wife are not conservatives.

Because OMG, we can’t be having any of that now, can we?

Not even a little bit.
Same for the irony of Chris Evans playing Captain America, when he's a typical leftist fit-pitcher.

Would love to hear Esquire elaborate on this piece.

Truly an astounding time when a somewhat popular magazine feels the need to see a problem with those roles he has chosen.
Glad his response, although I didn't read the link, seems to be pretty straightforward, instead of the usual Hollywood actor response of "I'm sorry, I love homos and trannies and I hate Trump. See? I have a black dildo in my arse right now, symbolizing gay and minority rights!"

Sounds like we are returning to the days where Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland are blackballing people for doing three or more John Wayne movies.

I love it when liberals eat their own... It is almost like they cannot separate fiction from reality...

Should all movies now be focused on the plight of transgendered people struggling through a white Herron male dominated world? According to Hollywood 1 in 3 dudes secretly is gay anyway. At least that is all I see on TV.

He is not a full fledge crazy progressive either. Emily blunt isn’t either.
As far as celebrity couple go them along with Ryan Reyndols/Blake live relatively quiet lives away from all the noise and are good people.

Translation: They did a Cancel-Culture Audit on Krasinski.
The Lefty sheep need to know who they are supposed to Blacklist and then berate/criticize/hate/scream at, and this is how they learn who to do that to.

We are approaching parody at this point.
In the mid 90s, Get Shorty made fun of this shite by talking about one of Martin Weir’s (Danny Devito) previous roles as a gay paraplegic who climbed Mt Whitney.
It was a joke back then but that is basically the average Oscar bait performance today.

I can not imagine a situation where I would give a rat's arse what any of the Hollywood types thinks.

This is an intentional manipulation of the public as well as the movie industry. It’s one prong of the attack being waged by cultural Marxism.
This is not just some leftist loon. They are methodically pushing the Overton Window farther to the left.
The narratives: Being patriotic is radical. Being conservative is radical. Believing in traditional notions of morality is radical.

It will end up doing more harm to the movie industry in the end... Which is absolutely funny and priceless to me at the same time...
Why can it not simply be about providing quality entertainment?

Problem being at some point there is diminishing returns for the movie industry because people don’t want to deal with the bullshite.
We’re at the point now where the Oscars are having record low viewership because no one is watching the shite they nominate for the most part.
If they frick up the Marvel films and kill that golden goose, the entire industry may crash.
