Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Director Comes Out as Pro-Antifa Supporter

Vanilla World of Warcraft team lead Mark Kern recently put together a list about how Democrats can beat President Donald Trump and the Republicans moving forward. Shortly after he posted the list he reported hundreds of people contacted Blizzard in order to get him either fired or get his game account banned. Kern squarely points to the fact people were trying to get him fired because of politics.

It’s sad, but after posting about how to be moderate in the political world, and win votes, hundreds contacted Blizzard trying to either get me fired or ban my game account there. They were offended by tweets that pointed out why we should not try to fire people for politics. — Mark Kern (@Grummz) July 2, 2018

That’s when Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Rise of the Guardians director Peter Ramsey made it pretty clear he supports Antifa.

How so? Please, be specific. Because they’re willing to actually fight people who incite violence and promote hatred? Perhaps you believe that fascist and White Nationalist ideologies deserve their fair day in the sun. — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) July 3, 2018

He would go on to call Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and Steve Miller white supremacists.

Do you understand what fascism is? Do you understand what these alt-right fascists WANT? On White Supremacy, Donald Trump is a White Supremacist. He had Steve Bannon and has Steven Miller, both White Supremacists, in the White House. The WHITE HOUSE. Try and keep up. — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) July 3, 2018

He then went on to imply his support for Antifa.

How do they act, other than fighting ACTUAL fascists, who want to curtail the rights of Jews, of Black people, of women, of Muslims, etc? I’ve never heard of Antifa oppressing anyone except people who want to oppress others. — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) July 3, 2018

Fans quickly let him know they wouldn’t be watching his movie while others lamented Marvel hiring people like Peter Ramsey.

Why does Marvel insist on hiring these idiots. It’s almost like they WANT to destroy their brand — FloydZoot (@zootner) July 3, 2018

So your support a domestic terrorist group who assault citizens and destroy property. I won’t be watching your movies have a good day. — Ironlantern (@HeathMartin15) July 3, 2018

After a number of fans began to disagree with Ramsey, he began to troll them.

Oh , look. Someone else who doesn’t watch the news. — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) July 3, 2018

In fact, he joined the likes of EA Sports’ Battlefield executives in telling fans to go watch something else. He is actively telling potential consumers not to buy a Sony and Marvel product.

Nah. Why can’t so-called fans act like human beings instead of like whining, entitled little bitches? Art is an exchange. No one’s forcing anyone to participate. You don’t like something, go see something else. — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) July 3, 2018

He would go on to claim he’s being harassed when people disagreed with him and vocalized that disagreement.

And you don’t have to buy it. Straight up. You don’t like it, don’t buy it. But don’t harass or attempt to intimidate creators or fans behind the shield of anonymity because you have a problem with content. It’s beneath being a fan, or a person. Humanity>professionalism. — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) July 3, 2018

Ramsey’s opinion of Antifa is wildly wrong and he seems to be willfully approving of their behavior, which has long been documented as violent. The Daily Wire put together a list of violent activities committed in the name of Antifa including riots during President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day which included Antifa members destroying storefronts, bus stops, and even torching a limousine. They also attacked police and injured six officers.

Former professor and antifa member Eric Clanton was arrested for three counts of suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon in the now infamous bike lock attack where he bashed a pro-Trump rally attendee over the head with a U-shaped bicycle lock in Berkeley, California.

In fact, Antifa’s violent attacks and their behavior are labeled as “domestic terrorist violence” by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security in “interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by Politico.”

Will his support of Antifa affect whether you will see Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse?
