You know it& #39;s not fun to be part of the Star Wars fandom anymore. I& #39;m sick of feeling like trash for liking the "fanfiction trilogy" or getting 24318932407 videos talking about why rey is a mary sue or "forced diversity".
I& #39;m tired of people who feel the need to constantly brigade positive posts with negativity. I& #39;m sick of TLJ haters who can& #39;t shut up about the movie after years, and I& #39;m sick of TLJ fans who feel the need to trash every aspect of TROS and trash people who liked TROS.
I hate people who harass and bully actors just for playing a role in a movie and I hate all the people who are hypocrites and act like Kathy ruined Star Wars and then praise Rogue One, TCW or the Mandalorian.
I& #39;m tired of people who need to make 3 hour videos about why a movie is "objectively bad" and I hate when these videos keep popping up in my recommended.
I& #39;m not saying the content is without flaws, I& #39;d be willing to talk about the flaws of ANY of the content. I& #39;m just saying that people need to calm down. It& #39;s ok if you& #39;re upset that Ben Solo died, I get it. What& #39;s not ok is sending death threats to JJ/Terrio because of that.
I get it if you& #39;re upset about various plot points, bad acting, bad writing, bad directing, etc. Star Wars has PLENTY of that. But I don& #39;t get the tribalism and the need to trash something in order to put something else up.
It& #39;s fine if you hate the sequels, but there& #39;s no need to make 50 memes a day saying "sequels bad". It& #39;s fine if you like Reylo/the Dyad. There& #39;s just no need to constantly talk about how the sequel trio is "fake" and try and erase the two men of color from the trio.
It& #39;s fine if you think Finn was wasted potential, but don& #39;t need to go under John Boyega& #39;s twitter and tell him that he played "the most wasted character in recent history", as I once saw a tweet say. It& #39;s fine if you dislike Rose, but don& #39;t harass KMT/Rian for a MOVIE CHARACTER.
Let people enjoy things. Seriously. Why would you want to waste time talking about why a movie is "objectively bad"? Focus on the things you like, and you& #39;ll make it better for the rest of us.
There& #39;s no need to go retweet a tweet about someone loving the Luke/X-wing scene or the 1472890 ships scene and talk about why it& #39;s horrible. You have that opinion? Fine. Keep it to yourself or go talk about it somewhere else instead of trying to ruin someone else& #39;s joy.
Again, nobody is saying that you can& #39;t have an opinion. You hated TROS? That& #39;s great. You love the prequels? That& #39;s also great. But just because someone loved TROS or hates the prequels, you don& #39;t need to insult them.
The Star Wars fandom is the one fandom where you can feel bad because you enjoyed a Star Wars movie.
As someone said on Youtube, "The most positive part of the star wars community are little kids who play with lightsabers in their backyard. When THAT& #39;S the most positive part of your community, you& #39;re in a bad place."
So I just want to say: If you ship reylo, that& #39;s fine. If you hate reylo, that& #39;s fine. If you like the prequels, that& #39;s awesome. If you hate the prequels, that& #39;s also awesome. If you hate the sequels, that& #39;s ok. If you love the sequels, that& #39;s also ok.
Regardless of whatever opinion you have, there& #39;s no need to try and ruin someone else& #39;s joy or attack someone else for a different opinion. If you hated TROS and loved TLJ, that& #39;s fine. Just...stop tweeting about how much you hate TROS and tweet more about how you love TLJ.
If you like Rian& #39;s style of filmmaking and hate JJ& #39;s style of filmmaking, that& #39;s absolutely fine. Just stop tweeting about how much you hate JJ and tweet more about how much you love Rian. And vice versa.
