I’m a human being who happens to love all things Star Wars. I will not ever identify with being a Star Wars “fan” or a Fandom Menace person or a Reylo or an Anti or any of that gibberish ever again. I’m here to have conversations with fellow humans about anything and everything.

There are many, many things in life I love and that I am interested in. Not just Star Wars. With all that is happening in the world right now, I can no longer bury my head in the sand and focus only on a specific fandom that is ultimately fractured and filled with pettiness.

People calling people “misogynist” or “fascist” over their opinions, theories, beliefs or thoughts concerning a fictional universe are part of the problem. People who would rather devote all their time to fighting with one another over Star Wars or any other fiction. It’s absurd.

I’m not here for your political agenda, your fictional agenda, your religious agenda. I’m not going to be labeled and I’m not going to entertain any more of the tomfoolery and poppycock that goes on in the name of the Star Wars “fandom” or any “fandom” or fictional universe.

If you’d like to have fun, serious, intelligent, real conversations and dialogue about anything, that’s what I’m here for. It might be Star Wars one day, it might be post-punk bands from the U.K. the next day. It might be COVID-19 and how it’s affecting society.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
