15 Most Ridiculous MCU Controversies
2. Bucky/Steve "Shippers" Deem Sebastian Stan A Homophobe (Captain America: Civil War)
The Controversy: Around the release of Captain America: Civil War, fans vocally called for Cap to not only have a boyfriend, but for it to be his longtime pal Bucky.
Sebastian Stan was asked about this and revealed that he saw the relationship as purely fraternal, causing many to call him out as "homophobic" for not buying into the apparently implied sexual relationship the so-called "shippers" have nicknamed "Stucky".
Why It's Ridiculous: This is what happens when runaway fandom is left unchecked, and whatever your view on shipping, it's undeniably absurd to deem Stan a homophobe simply because he doesn't read the central relationship the way the deluded fans want him to.
Thankfully this is a fairly small subset of fans, but still, the Tumblr blogs are out there, and they're damn scary.
