My most unpopular and most unlikely-to-change-anytime soon opinion, in two parts
a) All the Star Wars movies are flawed but great
b) Mainstream Star Wars fandom is a terrifying toxic cesspit of misogyny, ableism, entitlement, the disgusting belief that releasing an unpopular movie is tantamount to rape, racism, homophobia, harassment of minors, harassment in general, and everything revolting about geek culture rolled into one: I would genuinely rather there was no Star Wars fandom at all (no official blogs, no weird tie-in merch, no conventions even) than the fucking horrible one we got.
So ignore the fandom? It’s literally that simple? Lmao
Or, and I appreciate this is a new and exciting concept, people could stop being misogynist, ableist, racist, and homophobic in fandom spaces. Or any spaces. Even simpler, no?
