>>7583091>George lucas never called the fans racists or sexists for disliking a movie.That’s because social media as we know it didn’t exist back then, and most racist/sexist shit from fans was quarantined to message boards or Livejournal ranting - in order to see it, you’d have to actually seek it out, whereas today, these same fucktards are all over the internet, chasing down anybody and everybody they don’t like and swamping them with hate and inundating the cast and crew of the new Star Wars films with threats and insane racist/sexist bullshit, and when these same cast and crew call these fucktard fans out, these fucktard fans feign offense at suddenly being labeled exactly what they are.
There’s a reason why the Star Wars fan base is considered to be the most toxic pop culture fandom on earth, and it’s precisely because of bullshit like this. No one justifiably gives a fuck for the crocodile tears of a hoard of fucking goons threatening to lynch everyone around them just because a woman or minority is starring in a children’s film.
