The Reddit account that made the comments and that has been linked to Liu has been deleted, but social media users have been sharing images of the comment in question. Simu Liu, star of the superhero film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, once made comments on Reddit sympathizing with pedophiles and likening them to gay people according to a series of screenshots.
