Mark Ruffalo is a vocal supporter of Palestine. The implication is that expressing support for a free Palestine gets you sidelined by Hollywood. He is also vocally against Trump and ICE.
I’m sure some people out there will also draw some antisemetic conspiratorial conclusions from that as well, i.e. “Jews control the media” which, no. It’s just that Israel as a country has certainly had undue economic influence over American politics and entertainment via lobbying interests. (Just ask the Scream cast over at Paramount)
In reality though he was just filming another project at the time.
I’d also note that Jon Bernthal, who has vocalized support for the IDF and Israel, was present for the press tour. Which doesn’t help.

Mark Ruffalo is currently in south eastern Pennsylvania filming the second season of "Task." He was nominated for an Emmy for the first season of "Task." He seems not to be blacklisted at all.
Ruffalo is so committed and decent that it probably wouldn't matter at all to him if he were. He has repeatedly stated that he doesn't even stay friendly with people who support genocide, because it is a terrible moral failing (which it is).
Somewhere along the way, we as a society forgot that "correlation doesn't mean causation" and leaped to all sorts of conspiratorial thinking by default.
Ruffalo great actor though, and I can't wait for more Task!
Humans have been making up and exaggerating shit they know nothing about literally forever. Look at religions. This isn't a novel, new thing. Gossip, fiction, and lying is as old as communication.
We weren't some benevolent species that only sought truth. Ever.
Loved the first season. It does carries the torch for "Who murder my durdur" well. Mare of Easttown was the better show, but I wont let the perfect be the enemy of good.
A meme is not indicative of society. This is internet/social media brain thinking that people sharing memes represent society. There have always been conspiracy theorists and people jumping to conclusions over the smallest connection of dots. The internet just gave them a platform to get together and push their narrative. That doesn’t represent society as a whole, I’m sure most people didn’t think twice about his lack of presence during press tours, and many more people in this comment section alone are aware and agree that it’s likely due to scheduling conflicts.
