Stray Kids Felix's Instagram Post Sparks Unfair Criticism Amid Global Boycott

Stray Kids’ Felix has recently faced backlash due to his latest Instagram post. The controversy arises as some fans criticize his post amidst an ongoing global boycott, despite his long-standing support for the Marvel franchise.

Felix’s Instagram Post and Reactions

Stray Kids’ Felix recently uploaded a photo on his personal Instagram account. The image featured a 32-oz. Deadpool topper cup, suggesting he was at the movie theater. He tagged Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the stars of Deadpool and Wolverine, and captioned the post:

“Hope to see 90 year old Wolverine and Deadpool.”

Many followers left positive comments, calling the cup topper cute and expressing hope that Felix enjoyed the movie.

“The cup topper is really cute.”

“Hope you enjoyed the movie, Felix!”

Criticism Amid Boycott

Despite some positive feedback, Felix’s post has been met with substantial criticism due to an ongoing boycott against Disney and Marvel. Disney, which owns Marvel, has been targeted by the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement for its support of Israel. This boycott aims to protest against the Israeli military’s actions in Gaza, which have resulted in significant casualties and displacement since October 2023

The Reasons Behind the Boycott

The boycott against Disney and Marvel was intensified after the trailer for Captain America: Brave New World was released. This film features the character Sabra, portrayed by Israeli actress Shira Haas, who volunteered in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Felix’s Previous Collaborations and Double Standards

Some fans believe Felix is being unfairly singled out for his post. They argue that Stray Kids’ collaborations with Deadpool and Wolverine were previously celebrated by the fandom. The group has a friendly relationship with Ryan Reynolds, who, along with Hugh Jackman, appeared in their music video “Chk Chk Boom.” Additionally, Bang Chan and Felix interviewed the actors ahead of the film’s release, and Stray Kids released the OST “SLASH,” which is featured in the movie.

Considering this, many fans are disappointed by Felix’s promotion of a Marvel film. Yet, some STAYs feel their fellow fans’ criticism is misdirected, as they think Felix is the sole target of criticism and there is a double standard.

Fans highlighted that until now, the fandom has praised Stray Kids for their collaboration with Deadpool and Wolverine. The group has a long-standing friendly relationship with Ryan Reynolds, who appeared with Hugh Jackman in their new music video “Chk Chk Boom.” Additionally, Bang Chan and Felix interviewed the actors ahead of the film’s release, and Stray Kids released the OST “SLASH,” which features in the movie.

Felix’s fans also reminded others that this is not the first time he has faced backlash for collaborations. He previously apologized for endorsing Coca-Cola, which is also part of the boycott.

The debate over Felix’s Instagram post continues to divide fans, but many feel that the criticism is unfair given his friendly relationship with Ryan Reynolds.
