Actor Chris Pratt was criticized in a TV Guide article, as part of a series called “The 12 Days of Chris-Mas.” The series looked at 12 actors named Chris. But TV Guide skewered Pratt in ways that many people found strange. The article explored what the author considered “problematic aspects of his life offscreen.”

TV Guide received backlash for looking down on Pratt for holding what are essentially mainstream American values. The article, written by Kaitlin Thomas, talks about how Pratt considers himself to be from a blue-collar, working-class background, and then attempts to convince readers why that’s bad.
