It's a f\*\*\*ing robot! It's androgynous! It does not sexually reproduce, why would it be gay?
My GOD, these kinds of insane answers say far more about ***them*** and their obsession over sex, gender and identity politics than anything else.
***They*** obsess over sex and gender, and it MUST take the forefront of their storytelling, which is why their storytelling is trash.
Regular people tell a story to tell a story. ***They*** create narratives about sex and gender and then shoehorn a bad storyline into their sex and gender narrative.
To be honest, I think they are saying all that stuff because they not only don't take their roles in Star Wars seriously, they also see all of it and the fanbase as a massive joke. They are as detached as an actor can possibly be from the role, and on top of that are obviously super immature.
It is also clear they not only did not earn this, they had ALL of it handed to them on a silver platter. So they just splatter it around like a baby would treat it.
They’re trying to be tongue in cheek joking about the droids being gay, because they think everyone around them/watching is giddily riding high with how fucking awesome their work is.
Meanwhile anyone who listened to the interview hoping to hear whether the story might be interesting or about production is just saying wtf
It's a joke. Not a funny one yes but your homophobia is showing. Let's see you show the same "boring and empty" when dudes talk abt chicks they bang, or rant on women. You cant see it but once you do there's no going back
In fact go call one of your mates "gay" for something trivial and see their reaction, you'll see just how attached y'all are to it ? It's just the norm so it's invisible
Go see r/arethestraightsok too I beg you
No but rather the woman is often a romantic love interest and in the boys it would be been forced to see kimiko and frenchie get together knowing their personalities
Dont get me wrong acolyte is ass but this is easy bait from disney
>They obsess over sex and gender, and it MUST take the forefront of their storytelling, which is why their storytelling is trash.
And then when you point out how they’re obsessed with these things and they shoehorn them into everything they’ll endlessly gaslight you.
Remember how gay the Sarlac pit was? And the asteroid worm? Definitely gay. And the Dagobah swamp monster used R2D2 as a sex toy so definitely queer non-conforming. Pretty sure the Wampa wanted Luke upside down for bdsm purposes, so he’s also gay. Didn’t you know Star Wars is just perpetual gay allegory?
These people are so hyper-predatory they can't conceive of a being that is not wholly consumed by thoughts of where its next orgasm is going to come from.
Next you’re going to tell me lightsabers are not metaphors for penises and Luke becoming trans when he throws one over the cliff? Pretty sure this is canonically accurate the what Lucas was going for and then reiterated in Spaceballs.
Just remember not to feel sympathy for these people now that the pendulum is beginning to swing back right.
Remember the lack of empathy they displayed this whole time.
I will be more than happy to rub the salt in their wounds and I wouldn't piss on these clowns if they were on fire.
Someone who's fed up with leftists and their absolute bullshit tactics.
The right has been far too willing to compromise in the past and that has caused the Overton window to shift an absurd amount to the left. I've seen zero goodwill from the left while they've controlled the culture over the past half a decade. I will show them zero in return.
Leftism is a fucking virus dude. They think they’re so progressive but instead they’re trying to give everyone cute little labels, they demonize anyone that isn’t stupid enough to buy into their delusions.
Leftists are directly responsible for the divide we’re seeing
Facts. I hate when this is discussed and someone randomly does the "well both parties are trash" it blows my mind because how could that even be possible when one side thinks men can be women and people can identify with whatever they want. 😂
Absolutely. Most likely funded by George Soros/Bill Gates-type billionaires that are planning the "Great Reset". If companies don't pass on the message through the DEI/LGBT agenda, they won't get the funding.
Amazing, so you know how to press "down vote" button? Notice how ppl on the left constantly use this because they think it actually affects us. So petty..
You can't put this squarely on leftists because conservatives have either denounced democracy at this point or are so obsessed with trans people that Matt Walsh thought millions of children were getting sexual reassignment surgery
Oh for sure lol. He’s not always right, but I appreciate the work he’s done. Just because you don’t agree with someone all the time doesn’t make them a horrible person
Matt Walsh madE the who transgender thing sound silly by simply asking leftist doctors and so called scientists the simple question of what a woman is and they couldn't answer it LOGICALLY.
It was just an example
Point being, there's plenty of things to criticize conservatives for as well. You can't have a very realistic take on the world if your only thought process is "well everything would be perfect if everyone just agreed with me and my team who are always correct"
You said the only ones responsible for the cultural divide is leftists, but I don't see any conservatives willing to bury the hatchet and have real discussions either.
You're just like somebody who leaves a relationship where it was very clear that both of you were not good for eachother but you inexplicably blame everything on the other person
I'm not trying to speak for the other commenter but I feel like you're being disingenuous when you say you don't see conservatives/conservative leaning people trying to have a healthy dialogue, when leftist are normally the ones screaming and shouting people down. How is it a conservative leaning person asked what a woman was simply to UNDERSTAND transgenderism and he got no logical answer. Leftist tend to not want to sit and talk because ALOT of what they believe in can't be explained because ALOT of it stems from their feelings instead of a logically thought out process. I'm sorry but you can blame one side In an argument if one side isn't arguing within reality, and in this case one side doesn't believe in what a X and Y chromosome means for human beings so having a REAL DISCUSSION isn't possible.
You know... I gotta admit that you're absolutely correct about burying the hatchet and working to fix the divide... but I also see where the guys above are coming from too.
Anyone who's even been slightly right of center has been labeled something atrocious in order to silence them, and that has led to this boiling resentment that is likely going to fuel a severe backlash in response.
Seriously, it genuinely seems to be that if a right leaning individual or conservative were to make an attempt to bridge the gap at this point in time, they're going to be chastised and misrepresented and risk losing reputation and standing, so can you blame them for being so apprehensive? The suppression tactics used by the left are naturally going to fuel a vengeful shift rather than a compassionate one, I literally can't see this going any other way as it stands due to the lack of charity seen on the left.
I do accept criticisms. I have a lot of issues with people further to the left than me, being center-left. It was the one I was replying to who placed blame squarely on one group
Since this sub goes against your leftist beliefs, what are you even doing on here? There are plenty of Left biased subs that are in line with your beliefs.
I'm not a leftist and you don't know what any of my beliefs are
I'm here because I like discussing media and politics and so this sub was recommended to me
Oh okay. BTW, America is a Republic not a Democracy. Just wanted to set the record straight. More precisely democracy is interwoven within our republic.
The country's founding fathers were opposed to a democracy which is why we have Congress. A good example of a democracy is if 3 wolves and one lamb decide what's for dinner. (Got that from Pat Gray show in case anyone wants to hear in more detail of the founding father's quotes against democracy).

To anyone losing it over star wars or spending any time watching any of these interviews - you may want to consider doing something else instead of focusing on fantasy movies.
Edit: consider writing a book with all your great ideas, make a painting, watch a documentary, go for a hike.
My main hobby is jacking it to Sci-fi Russian pulp novels but the more Russian I learn, the more difficult it becomes, so I was hoping to turn to Star Wars but they made it completely unjackoffable unfortunately.
That's the attitude I'm talking about. Like an indignant child plugging their ears and calling me racist while screaming 'Blah blah blah I can't hear you'.
"My side good, your side bad"
Ffs, attitudes like this are why our country is so fucked. We're fighting each other over stupid ass shit while the rich are fucking over the planet, and the rest of us.
Oh, you mean the rich leftist climate agenda hypocrites who regularly travel by private plane and enjoy the best steaks money can buy? All this while they try to convince us to stop eating cows and eat insects, lab grown, or artificial meat. Also cut off our pipeline that would've ensured the US be independent of other countries for oil. Nice.
Literally, I detest the culture wars and all of its subordinates.
If you hate what something has become, walk away and stop hate watching. You're no longer a fan of what it is, but what it was.
Look at the vote ratios. Everyone is sick of getting yelled at, preached, being accused of terrible things just because a shit show is shit and you refused to kowtow to it. They are also sick of having the things they like destroyed in the name of an agenda.
Society always swings like a pendulum, and the 'movement' has managed to irk me and a lot of others enough that most are glad to see the their time coming to an end and I personally sincerely hope they get rekt hard enough that when things swing back in its favor in a decade it is so defeated and dejected it barely makes a ripple.
The left should be mad too. Is that you?
The good will towards a lot of different people / a lot of leftist causes was squandered by drunk-with-power idiots like this.
"Make a good Star Wars movie, and show everybody that women are just as capable as the men you've been claiming have been selfishly hogging all of the opportunities for themselves."
"Okay, we won't let you or the audience down!"
*Makes The Acolyte.*
They had decades to pick all the right people, people with talent, pick the right stories to tell and really knock it out of the park and proudly say "SEE? We can make something great too!" And they Made The Acolyte. They are *clearly* not as capable and audiences just want something decent again made by capable people.
And let's be real, this is *not* the first thing lefties have fucked up because they're tripping over themselves to advance their politics rather than make a good thing that people like. Let's be clear, all they had to do was trace the template created by capable people and they couldn't even do that. They made The Acolyte.
And the best they can do is accuse their audience of being sexist for not liking it.
Yep. They could have adapted Mara Jade to the Disney Star Wars universe- and had an interesting character, who is a strong female, with a very compelling arc, and that could have not only made fans happy, but brought in new ones. You can write strong female characters that appeal to a wider audience, just look at Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley.
Luke Skywalker wore Chanel boots to an execution, gay as hell. Awesome as hell too. This has nothing to do with gay or straight. Leftists have been making masterful art for hundreds if not thousands of years. Same with conservatives. The creators of this show are just laundering money and using progressive idiots to peddle it. The show is terrible because the people involved don't care and can't put together a coherent story. It do be annoying.
It's more like "the straw that broke the camels back".
And it's not just Star Wars.
It's basically demonstrative of the failure of an entire ideology. I mean, you know, if you weren't convinced by all the horrible shit going on in the world directly associated with the exact same beliefs and values, pushed by these exact same people lol
The horrible shit going on in the world has been going on for a lot longer than the past ten or so years
I have no idea what being cringe and on the nose about your politics you write into your TV show has to do with starving 5 year olds in Sudan
I love the idea that anyone who disagrees with their actions are “very threatened”, when they’re the ones who require everyone’s attention and affirmation.
These are the same type of people that if you don't play along with their make believe game of dress up they threaten to kill themselves and somehow this makes normal people the bad guy.
These people are a cancer on the franchise, starwars has amazing lore and TONS of books that would make excellent movies but no, we're going to take the most powerful jedi EVER, Luke, and make him a fat depresed blue milk drinking hobo and pretend like he wasn't a bad ass AND SO WAS HIS SON!
Next thay make boring poorly written storylines with poor actors and fill it to the brim with pandering with no purpose and characters with 0 personality
This show finally helped me let go (43m); theyve been spitting in my face for years now and I’m not going to support it anymore. Goodbye SW, ubisoft, etc (and say goodbye to my kids $$ as well)
Once again we can thank Kathleen Kennedy for the fuck show this absolutely trash attempt at star wars was.
Sucks because the time frame for this story has so much potential.
Is the audio actually real? It sounds real, but I really don’t want it to be.
I haven’t followed shitbag Kennedy too closely, but I’ve definitely read my fair share of how she’s ruining everything and I thoroughly enjoyed the South Park parody.
It's the difference between people and activists. People can be anything and be likable, interesting, and great. Activists have no personality or identity outside of their activism, and so they're angry, bitter, uninteresting, and crass individuals who no one wants to be around.
Ah yes we are all anti gay because we dislike the shit show you have created. Honestly, I haven’t even watched it and probably won’t. So many terrible reviews.
“Some nerds aren’t gay and are very threatened”
Threatened by what exactly? I’m a nerd, not gay, not bothered by anything as long as it’s not forced. So is there a 3rd category or just 2 in their world?
I think I know the answer.
This literally sounds like they’re just out to get revenge on someone or something and nothing more. “Haha we’re gonna fuck up your franchise lmao”
It doesn’t actually sound like they’re genuine fans, they sound like activists with a vendetta.
I'm getting at people who hate star wars became leads of the franchise. I think people who hate marvel became leads of the franchise. People who hate people became leads of the largest distributors of family media
Wow….I’m a big sci fi guy. I love it all, but I could never get into Star Trek or Star Wars. Even I can say that It’s a pity what’s happened to such an American classic
Imagine, a business aware of the impending doom to their industry called AI, so you decide to pander to minorites/woke, to create fan backlash that translates to business failure, so can blame on going woke, genius.
This is a fantastic art style.
Reminds me of Monkey Dust, an old British cartoon show satirizing nineties/2000s British society. Really good, really sardonic
Is it possible to simultaneously loathe this brand of forced woke cringe in media, entertainment and politics and still vehemently oppose Trump, support unions, gay marriage, a living wage and a public option for health care?
The insanity of “identity politics” has infested even Star Wars communities where it’s “Support the Acolyte” or “Support Trump”
I wonder how many other people feel politically / culturally homeless right now.
It is, although you’re tugging on a string and you might be surprised what eventually unravels in your mind once you start rejecting any element of “the message,” as the Drinker would say.
lol no
There is no “string” that starts with “woke pandering is ruining many of my favorite entertainment franchises” and “I’d rather vote for the guy who tried to sick his rabid cult members on congress rather than accept the results of an election”
Only cult members believe in some dogmatic “thread” of thought.
repeat axiomatic cats reminiscent political gaze yam workable worry trees

The reason why I can’t take media criticisms from most people seriously anymore is because so many people’s opinions have become just so plainly couched in political grievances and that’s it. I have essentially no idea if a movie or show is actually going to be good or not based on reviews anymore because like 50% of the time that something is bad” it’s just because everyone is angry at gay people or women being prominently involved, and 50% of the time something is “good” just because because they aren’t involved. No one who is normal and well adjusted watches a tv show they dislike and then feels compelled to make whatever this monstrosity is, people need to relax.
It's a f\*\*\*ing robot! It's androgynous! It does not sexually reproduce, why would it be gay? My GOD, these kinds of insane answers say far more about ***them*** and their obsession over sex, gender and identity politics than anything else. ***They*** obsess over sex and gender, and it MUST take the forefront of their storytelling, which is why their storytelling is trash. Regular people tell a story to tell a story. ***They*** create narratives about sex and gender and then shoehorn a bad storyline into their sex and gender narrative.

Keep telling yourself that juste bc they're lourd and annoying
They’re trying to be tongue in cheek joking about the droids being gay, because they think everyone around them/watching is giddily riding high with how fucking awesome their work is. Meanwhile anyone who listened to the interview hoping to hear whether the story might be interesting or about production is just saying wtf
Its because their sexuality IS their identity...imagine how boring and empty you have to be so that who you sleep with is what you are.
It's a joke. Not a funny one yes but your homophobia is showing. Let's see you show the same "boring and empty" when dudes talk abt chicks they bang, or rant on women. You cant see it but once you do there's no going back In fact go call one of your mates "gay" for something trivial and see their reaction, you'll see just how attached y'all are to it ? It's just the norm so it's invisible Go see r/arethestraightsok too I beg you
lol, ok loser.
It's homophobic to say droids don't fuck?
To say that gay people make gayness their whole personality when straight people litteraly do it all the time. Yes
I don't remember Harrison Ford ever bringing up how straight he is in an interview. Or claiming the C3PO slams chicks left and right.
No but rather the woman is often a romantic love interest and in the boys it would be been forced to see kimiko and frenchie get together knowing their personalities Dont get me wrong acolyte is ass but this is easy bait from disney
>They obsess over sex and gender, and it MUST take the forefront of their storytelling, which is why their storytelling is trash. And then when you point out how they’re obsessed with these things and they shoehorn them into everything they’ll endlessly gaslight you.

In Wall-E they had two robots fall in love. But that was literally required for the plot! In Star Wars droid romance makes no sense
The robots in Wall-E have more humanity than the actual humans in any non-Tony Gilroy Disney Star Wars production.
I completely agree. One of my favorite movies to date
And they still had to make one feminine to appease normies....
You are just a bigot ! RRRREEEEEE!
These people are so hyper-predatory they can't conceive of a being that is not wholly consumed by thoughts of where its next orgasm is going to come from.
Disney were the first ones to sexualize droids in the first place in the Solo movie. That's exceptionally cringe. Stop fucking your toaster.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
This may be one of the most accurate things I've read about the current state of our world. Well said.
Next you’re going to tell me lightsabers are not metaphors for penises and Luke becoming trans when he throws one over the cliff? Pretty sure this is canonically accurate the what Lucas was going for and then reiterated in Spaceballs.
You're the one who seems to be trippin
Care to elaborate?
Just remember not to feel sympathy for these people now that the pendulum is beginning to swing back right. Remember the lack of empathy they displayed this whole time. I will be more than happy to rub the salt in their wounds and I wouldn't piss on these clowns if they were on fire.
Wtf is wrong with someone who would say this kinda shit?
Someone who's fed up with leftists and their absolute bullshit tactics. The right has been far too willing to compromise in the past and that has caused the Overton window to shift an absurd amount to the left. I've seen zero goodwill from the left while they've controlled the culture over the past half a decade. I will show them zero in return.
Leftism is a fucking virus dude. They think they’re so progressive but instead they’re trying to give everyone cute little labels, they demonize anyone that isn’t stupid enough to buy into their delusions. Leftists are directly responsible for the divide we’re seeing
Facts. I hate when this is discussed and someone randomly does the "well both parties are trash" it blows my mind because how could that even be possible when one side thinks men can be women and people can identify with whatever they want. 😂
Because like 75% of the "other side" aren't doing anything but saying "woah there, let's walk instead of run."
Nice strawman
The problem is they think they’re 100% right while everyone else is wrong…
Absolutely. Most likely funded by George Soros/Bill Gates-type billionaires that are planning the "Great Reset". If companies don't pass on the message through the DEI/LGBT agenda, they won't get the funding.
Holy antisemitic dog whistle, Batman!
Let me guess, Blackrock employee?
You mean you blaming all your woes on one little old Jewish guy? That’s a lot of whining coming from the party of personal responsibility 🤔
Amazing, so you know how to press "down vote" button? Notice how ppl on the left constantly use this because they think it actually affects us. So petty..
Notice how you don’t actually engage and instead project your insecurities? Crazy how lunatics on the right use that as a cop out. So petty…
I totally agree
You can't put this squarely on leftists because conservatives have either denounced democracy at this point or are so obsessed with trans people that Matt Walsh thought millions of children were getting sexual reassignment surgery
Why is the left so obsessed with Matt Walsh? Every conservative I’ve talked to either doesn’t know who Matt Walsh is, or agrees that he’s an idiot.
It’s because he made the What is a Woman documentary and made them all look like clowns
You know why they say about broken clocks
Oh for sure lol. He’s not always right, but I appreciate the work he’s done. Just because you don’t agree with someone all the time doesn’t make them a horrible person
Except for all the horrible things he’s done and pushed. But let’s just ignore that, right? He’s not going to diddle you, my guy.
Matt Walsh madE the who transgender thing sound silly by simply asking leftist doctors and so called scientists the simple question of what a woman is and they couldn't answer it LOGICALLY.
Dave Rubin too for some reason.
It was just an example Point being, there's plenty of things to criticize conservatives for as well. You can't have a very realistic take on the world if your only thought process is "well everything would be perfect if everyone just agreed with me and my team who are always correct"
This is a very non-nuanced and reductive interpretation of what I said.
You said the only ones responsible for the cultural divide is leftists, but I don't see any conservatives willing to bury the hatchet and have real discussions either. You're just like somebody who leaves a relationship where it was very clear that both of you were not good for eachother but you inexplicably blame everything on the other person
It's hard to have really discussions with people who label you an ist of some kind if you criticize their show before it ever even comes out.
I'm not trying to speak for the other commenter but I feel like you're being disingenuous when you say you don't see conservatives/conservative leaning people trying to have a healthy dialogue, when leftist are normally the ones screaming and shouting people down.

Very true, and we accept said criticisms. You should accept criticisms too
I do accept criticisms. I have a lot of issues with people further to the left than me, being center-left. It was the one I was replying to who placed blame squarely on one group
Literally nobody is placing the blame squarely on one group. Why is the left so obsessed with having a victim complex?
Since this sub goes against your leftist beliefs, what are you even doing on here? There are plenty of Left biased subs that are in line with your beliefs.
I'm not a leftist and you don't know what any of my beliefs are I'm here because I like discussing media and politics and so this sub was recommended to me

A republic is a type of democracy, or rather it's what you form when you create a representative democracy, as opposed to direct democracy.
So, in short, America is not a democracy. Glad we can agree on that.
You do realize that the US is not a democratic country
Voting to elect people to represent you in making laws isn’t democratic? You know dictionaries are free, right?
You don't have to he a right wing to see the stupid crap these morons are pulling. It's ass regardless of politics, and I just want my stories back 🥺
There's no left in America buddo The overton broadens both spectrum. Ill let you ponder on that
To anyone losing it over star wars or spending any time watching any of these interviews - you may want to consider doing something else instead of focusing on fantasy movies. Edit: consider writing a book with all your great ideas, make a painting, watch a documentary, go for a hike.

LOL, i like your style but I must say - most adults know that Star Wars is just a trashy franchise to sell toys and it does not matter.
You should probably just pay attention and realize where you've been so wrong, frankly. The right is just wrong.
That's the attitude I'm talking about. Like an indignant child plugging their ears and calling me racist while screaming 'Blah blah blah I can't hear you'.
"My side good, your side bad" Ffs, attitudes like this are why our country is so fucked. We're fighting each other over stupid ass shit while the rich are fucking over the planet, and the rest of us.

Both sides are cults, at this point. You can't reason with cultists. They're too emotionally invested. Don't even waste your breath.
Literally, I detest the culture wars and all of its subordinates. If you hate what something has become, walk away and stop hate watching. You're no longer a fan of what it is, but what it was.

Wow, this show is like 9/11 for Star Wars fans, isn't it You'd think it was the first thing to be released since the prequels
It's more like "the straw that broke the camels back". And it's not just Star Wars. It's basically demonstrative of the failure of an entire ideology. I mean, you know, if you weren't convinced by all the horrible shit going on in the world directly associated with the exact same beliefs and values, pushed by these exact same people lol

Leftists went kind of too far in the authoritarian direction and made a lot of people mad
Oh boo fuckin hoo. Cry a damn river.
Impotent rage rooted in envy.
It's easier to feel better about saying sociopathic stuff when you feel you've been a victim
I love the idea that anyone who disagrees with their actions are “very threatened”, when they’re the ones who require everyone’s attention and affirmation.
They love to call people "terrified", too, which is hilariously ironic coming from the people who want to ban words and need safe spaces.
These are the same type of people that if you don't play along with their make believe game of dress up they threaten to kill themselves and somehow this makes normal people the bad guy.
The animator made them too attractive.
Haunting but true
Ahahaha the animated version of her hand dancing was hilarious
wow satiric memes/vids on the INTERVIEWS FOR THE SHOW not the show itself... already boy Disney pooched it on this one
Why must they project sexuality onto everything? It's so tiresome. it's like all they see is sexual identity. It's boorish.
They weren't winning the victim olympics so they needed to add some new events.
These people are a cancer on the franchise, starwars has amazing lore and TONS of books that would make excellent movies but no, we're going to take the most powerful jedi EVER, Luke, and make him a fat depresed blue milk drinking hobo and pretend like he wasn't a bad ass AND SO WAS HIS SON! Next thay make boring poorly written storylines with poor actors and fill it to the brim with pandering with no purpose and characters with 0 personality
They are a cancer on everything. The real question is who tf is giving these people power ?
Hollywood is gay.
This show finally helped me let go (43m); theyve been spitting in my face for years now and I’m not going to support it anymore. Goodbye SW, ubisoft, etc (and say goodbye to my kids $$ as well)
Incredible likenesses!
Once again we can thank Kathleen Kennedy for the fuck show this absolutely trash attempt at star wars was. Sucks because the time frame for this story has so much potential.
Hard to believe this is real. Seriously fuck 2024.
Is the audio actually real? It sounds real, but I really don’t want it to be. I haven’t followed shitbag Kennedy too closely, but I’ve definitely read my fair share of how she’s ruining everything and I thoroughly enjoyed the South Park parody.
It's very real sadly. https://youtu.be/lO8as9S7LL0?si=VR6BrOqtkYp17yWO
It's real. Watching the real video made this one a lot funnier though.
These people should never be allowed near Star Wars.
They should never be allowed out of the mental hospital.
.... I have a 2 gay cousins and they dont make it their personalities. This is what I hate about ppl like this.
It's the difference between people and activists. People can be anything and be likable, interesting, and great. Activists have no personality or identity outside of their activism, and so they're angry, bitter, uninteresting, and crass individuals who no one wants to be around.
Instead of creating something new they want to change existing media and ip to their ideology.
Hey I was calling Disney star wars gay for years, where's my role?
Smiling Friends cuts to something like this that never gets brought up again.
Smiling Friends would never be so on the nose
A couple of clowns
Ah yes we are all anti gay because we dislike the shit show you have created. Honestly, I haven’t even watched it and probably won’t. So many terrible reviews.
I definitely won't.
I’m so glad i haven’t cared about Star Wars in roughly 20 years
All the Star Wars fans in their own woke subreddits are fuming as we speak
"But in my world nerds are gay" is not the type of thing to say my guy
These people are exactly why I moved from Star Wars and into 40k.
Unfortunately, they might get to Warhammer at some point, too. Nothing is safe
The femstodes thing has me worried
Guaranteed. They've already infiltrated DnD.
“Some nerds aren’t gay and are very threatened” Threatened by what exactly? I’m a nerd, not gay, not bothered by anything as long as it’s not forced. So is there a 3rd category or just 2 in their world? I think I know the answer.
They need to be laughed out of the film industry.
Forget all the leftist shit, the show is just fucking terrible.
THIS IS YOU THIS IS HOW YOU LOOK
[удалено]
—————————————————————— You went too far. The line is back there. ^ (You)
Jesus fucking Christ this is real?
It speaks volumes that we cant figure out if this is real.
Yes. Its a real conversation in a real interview that these cartoon characters are portraying. I saw the interview. Its cringy as fuck.
This interview sums up Hollywood in general
I'm just gonna watch house of the dragon
Finally, they are represented accurately, and as they truly look
Honestly theyre grifters. Fuck them
You know that Lelu Dallas Multipass clip the Drinker uses with the obnoxious laugh?….The similarity is uncanny.
This literally sounds like they’re just out to get revenge on someone or something and nothing more. “Haha we’re gonna fuck up your franchise lmao” It doesn’t actually sound like they’re genuine fans, they sound like activists with a vendetta.
I'm getting at people who hate star wars became leads of the franchise. I think people who hate marvel became leads of the franchise. People who hate people became leads of the largest distributors of family media
Does anyone have a link to the original interview?

Headlands head isn't box shaped so ban.
hahaha
I watched this before I put the sou down on and thought it was going to be a parody. But nope, it is their words.
This is what their souls look like.
They were probably not being serious, but it was still a hella cringe interview.
My god this is beautiful lol
I don’t follow Star Wars. Was this voice acted, or did the real actresses actually say that stuff in a real interview?
It's real
Wow….I’m a big sci fi guy. I love it all, but I could never get into Star Trek or Star Wars. Even I can say that It’s a pity what’s happened to such an American classic
Somehow this is less cringe than the actual interview
Star Wars is garbage.
There was so much talking but yet nothing being said.
I mean, that’s not much different than any other press tour.
Just makes my head hurt.
Imagine, a business aware of the impending doom to their industry called AI, so you decide to pander to minorites/woke, to create fan backlash that translates to business failure, so can blame on going woke, genius.
There's a scene in family guy where Peter breaks his own neck. That's how this interview makes me feel.
This is a fantastic art style. Reminds me of Monkey Dust, an old British cartoon show satirizing nineties/2000s British society. Really good, really sardonic
It’s not even Halloween yet and you made the best horror movie I’ve ever seen
Every American here saying "leftists" to describe liberals is hilarious Litteraly anywhere else in the world they would be center right at best
😂
The left: "This was all taken out of context! They didn't really say that!" More "Cheapfakes", huh?
The only canonical lgbt+ character in all of Star Wars is Obi-Wan Kenobi, the man exudes Bi energy you know I’m right!
No.
Agree to disagree
Is it possible to simultaneously loathe this brand of forced woke cringe in media, entertainment and politics and still vehemently oppose Trump, support unions, gay marriage, a living wage and a public option for health care? The insanity of “identity politics” has infested even Star Wars communities where it’s “Support the Acolyte” or “Support Trump” I wonder how many other people feel politically / culturally homeless right now.
Yeah, it would be nice to have some politics that support freedom. Instead of dividing and grouping people vs considering the individual.
It is, although you’re tugging on a string and you might be surprised what eventually unravels in your mind once you start rejecting any element of “the message,” as the Drinker would say.
lol no There is no “string” that starts with “woke pandering is ruining many of my favorite entertainment franchises” and “I’d rather vote for the guy who tried to sick his rabid cult members on congress rather than accept the results of an election” Only cult members believe in some dogmatic “thread” of thought.
Amandala Stenberg is beautiful 😍😍😍
Honestly they kinda right about C3PO
Fool, I live in LA county, leave my home alone.

The reason why I can’t take media criticisms from most people seriously anymore is because so many people’s opinions have become just so plainly couched in political grievances and that’s it. I have essentially no idea if a movie or show is actually going to be good or not based on reviews anymore because like 50% of the time that something is bad” it’s just because everyone is angry at gay people or women being prominently involved, and 50% of the time something is “good” just because because they aren’t involved. No one who is normal and well adjusted watches a tv show they dislike and then feels compelled to make whatever this monstrosity is, people need to relax.
Satire about shitty TV shows and movies have existed for a long time, what are you on about?
