Moral of the story: If you become a Marvel star, don't bring up human rights violations in China.

Or just commit and be like the Mumford and Sons guy

I dont think this is a big controversy. But even so if James Gunn can get back in Disneys good graces Simu Liu wont have a problem.

What does ten cent army mean

Tencent is one of the biggest companies in China, who are known to employ hundreds of thousands of people specifically so they can get paid for every pro-China and pro-whatever they own tweet/reddit/Facebook comment they make and extra for taking down "targets" harmful to the CCP's image

It's the same reason why Blizzard/Activision/Ubisoft game reddits are incredibly censored and strict about what you post.

It means the three topics about this could have been one, but you know, divide and conquer

It's a variation of this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party

50 Cent Party, 50 Cent Army and wumao (/wuma/) are terms for Internet commentators who are hired by the authorities of the People's Republic of China to manipulate public opinion and disseminate disinformation to the benefit of the governing Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1][2][3][4][5] It was created during the early phases of the Internet's rollout to the wider public in China.

They are just POS people. The stuff he said doesn't deserve him to get canceled. He felt sympathy for pedophiles after playing a pedophile as an actor. Said nothing about condoning pedophile behavior. Only weird thing he said was comparing it to homosexuality and claimed it was genetic. I could see why people would blow the whistle comparing the two, but mostly just ignorant and harmless.

Then he said that girls aren't as athletic as guys and he had gotten frustrated when they were in his team and would make comments. A little outdated/sexist.

And then something about posting on an incel reddit? I don't know if it was for Asian guys or a actual incel subreddit, but that was taken out of context. He was repeating what others said in the comments to quote them and saying he doesn't agree with them.

Probably by the same people who got mad at him saying that China was a third world country from an interview from 5 years ago, and roaring what his parents told him.
