Fame is a double-edged sword not many can handle and Simu Liu is one of them.
While there are obvious perks of stardom, there are also numerous downsides to it, something that requires an awful lot of maturity and self-confidence to get used to. That involves accepting criticism, be it biting or constructive, because not everyone on the planet is going to be an actor’s die-hard fan. Besides, one simply can’t go on reacting to random comments about them floating on the internet, let alone lash out at them. If only Liu would’ve considered that before going on a futile social media tirade, he might not have ended up in the bad graces of fans.
Simu Liu’s Controversial Feud – Can MCU Star Not Take Criticism?
Best known for portraying the titular role of Shang-Chi in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), Simu Liu has recently attracted intense backlash, courtesy of a bad case of egotism peppered with people-pleasing tendencies.
Liu, who stars in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, recently reposted an Instagram story that slams the actor for being an undeserving “face of the Asian diaspora.” The original story was part of a TikTok video that bashed Liu and his incorrigible inability when it comes to handling criticism or any disapproval that concerns him, for that matter.
“I can’t imagine anything more annoying than going through his Twitter feed, and I resent you for making him famous,” the user further mentioned. The Instagram account that reposted the same captioned the story by tagging Liu and claiming how his “sh*t” is being tolerated by the Asian community despite him being “the biggest ick walking on this planet.” What’s more, the user also accused the actor of being homophobic and an incel.
The 34-year-old actor, however, couldn’t suffer such a bruise on his ego, which is why he made the horrible decision of sparking a feud with the TikTok user. Just a few days back, the Simulant star hopped on his official Instagram page to vehemently defend himself against cutting remarks about him, only to face counterblast by fans for the same. From denying the homophobia allegations to urging the person to “get help” after a brief “what the f*ck” moment, Liu wrote an entire paragraph to protect his reputation. Ironic, to say the least.
Social Media Blasts Simu Liu by Calling Him A “Loser”
Twitter became a deluge of trolls and derisive reactions from people after Liu pulled this stunt.
By directly tagging the person on his official Instagram account, one fan remarked, Liu “opened [the TikTok user] to un-godly levels of harassment.” Numerous other people agreed with the same, pointing out just how “f**king dangerous” his actions are.
Like regardless of whether or not you agree with the original video, what Simu Liu is doing here is really fucking dangerous and should be called out. https://t.co/Sw3XG5nsAw

This isn’t the first time the Canadian actor has been vocal about public comments that don’t satiate his ego. He once blasted HuffPost for deeming him an Asian “thirst trap,” pointing out the seeming “tokenism” about the same. In a separate stint, Liu blasted Air Canada on his Instagram story, calling them “the best and worst of humanity” due to their “unprofessional” and “unpleasant” behavior.
Looks like someone needs to hire a social media manager.
