International troll Piers Morgan took a break from body-shaming plus size models to put a different category of people on blast. This time, he went after James Bond actor Daniel Craig for wearing a baby harness while carrying his baby. Morgan claims that it's “emasculating,” and was epicly shut down by Chris Evans — along with countless dads everywhere. As you will see in greater detail in the video that we have included, James Bond actor Daniel Craig was spotted with his baby. Craig was wearing a papoose, which most of us would think of as a front-facing baby carrier, which is a pretty standard piece of gear for parents. But this just didn't sit right with noted troll Piers Morgan, who took to Twitter to voice his terrible opinion. “Oh 007.. not you as well?!!!” Morgan exclaimed with disdain. He then made the subject of his frustration clear, writing: ” # papoose # emasculatedBond.” That's right — in Piers Morgan's twisted view of gender, a father carrying his baby using a baby carrier is “emasculating.” If you think that he was being absolutely ridiculous, you're right — and Captain America actor Chris Evans agrees. “You really have to be so uncertain of your own masculinity to concern yourself with how another man carries his child,” Evans asserts. He continues: “Any man who wastes time quantifying masculinity is terrified on the inside.” He's absolutely right. Piers Morgan doubled down on his awful view. (Though, to be clear, getting defensive and never admitting that he's wrong is his whole brand) Morgan then went so far as to try to Brit-splain Captain America to the actor who has played him for the better part of the last decade. “Captain America,” Morgan asserts. “Wouldn't wear a papoose.” In his mind, because Captain America is a strong man, he would only carry a baby in his arms and would never wear something that would make his baby comfortable and safer. And apparently he would never wear something that would free his hands to perform other tasks while looking after a baby. This is … absolutely absurd. Piers was a target of ridicule from plenty of others. “Imagine believing carrying your own baby in public is emasculating,” mocked a critic. “He’s not carrying it, that’s my point,” Morgan asserted. “He’s using an emasculating papoose.” Morgan continued: “James Bond would never use a papoose to carry his babies.” “Papoose-gate going global tonight,” Piers tweeted, presumably with glee. “A lot of VERY angry papoose-lovers screaming abuse at me.” In case there was any doubt, he added: “FYI: It won’t change my mind about papooses – they are ridiculous instruments of emasculation.” (Piers Morgan got pied in the face in front of his Good Morning Britain colleagues over this, which is a waste of perfectly good pie) A lot of men snapped selfies of themselves carrying their babies in papooses, but Morgan dismissed that as “virtue signaling.” “I just expressed a genuinely held opinion that papooses are emasculating, embarrassing & unnecessary,” Morgan says. “And the virtue-signalling world's gone bonkers.” Virtue signaling is arguably a real thing, but has become one of those red flag terms almost exclusively used by terrible people. “One thing's clear after tonight's ferocious Papoose-gate debate: we need a new James Bond. A 007 who looks sharp in a tux & wouldn't be seen dead in a papoose” Tom Ellis, a devilishly handsome British actor who plays the titular character on Lucifer, joined the criticism only to be singled out by Morgan. “God gave you arms for a reason Tom,” Morgan insists. “Use them & stop being so lazy.” (Lazy? We thought that he was concerned about emasculation?) “You are absolutely right,” Tom replied heatedly. “Is it time for a charity boxing match? Against you I mean?” Now that would be a sight. In real life, we know that carrying a baby on a harness is much safer for the baby, especially in crowds or on walks or hikes. There are also some xenophobic and misogynist undertones (no, overtones) to his argument, as papooses are common in many cultures, and he has singled out men on this issue. But Morgan was insisting that his view is genuine, rather than an effort to troll for attention. Genuinely feeling this way is worse than being desperate for reactions. We're hardly the first to say it, but Piers Morgan really is the human embodiment of the old-man-yells-at-cloud meme. It's not a good look.
