I’m not a fan of harassing anyone. I’m also not a fan of (attempting) to use copyright protections to limit discourse.
Then she and those who are defending her should take it up with those engaged in such attacks rather than the broad brush that gets painted at those who disagree with the output of the Mouse when it comes to SW.
The hate thrown toward the Acoylte is way worse than merely not liking the output of the Mouse when it comes to Star Wars. I despised the Rise of Skywalker and thought it killed most of my excitement for any future Star Wars projects, yet I didn't follow Daisy Ridley, John Boyega or Adam Driver on social media to complain to them about it or harass them.
Sure and Disney has done themselves no favors in this.
As a fan of the Last Jedi I imagine it did do that to you. We’ve already discussed it.
Again that should be directed at those engaging in it. Because there is a (large?) cadre or people who absolutely dislike the Acolyte that has nothing to do with hate yet get lumped in there all the same.
Shouldn't it be the responsibility of all in the fandom to shutdown these type of attacks? Because all it does it add fuel to the fire that the fandom at large is toxic.
I would give this multiple likes if I could. I've been harping on that for a very long time now with all of star wars. There is A LOT of things wrong with this show. You can easily spot the hate brigade. But most of the complaints I'm seeing are pretty legitimate.
Yup, Jake Lloyd said the same thing and that he still loves star wars. His mom in a recent interview debunked all the "hate" drove him crazy.
I think they do. The problem is no one wants to report that. The fandom is toxic, it hates star wars!!! That gets clicks. Not Hayden Christensen get absolutely fantastic reception at star wars celebration. If you follow star wars, the conventions, comic con, the promo circuit with the actors.... You'll see the fandom isn't what it's made out to be.
Celebration is just like D23, its going to be only the most hyped fans. So of course you aren't going to see any boos or other toxic traits.
I’m responsible for my own actions not someone else’s.
If that is the case then why is it mine or anyone else's responsibility to engage with those that do the attacks since they claim to represent the fandom?
Fandom?
Many thanks.
Agreed. I'm in this weird place: I don't love it nor do I "hate it." There are problems aplenty with it punctuated by few good things. Take the lightsaber battle last night. Leave this site and there are plenty hyping this up to the greatest duel ever! I disagree but I'm also not looking to tell anyone they are "wrong" as it were.
It's surprising how many people to this day how many people believe that haters drove him away from SW. Seems like he had issues that had nothing to do with anything related to SW.
Personally I think all of the various fandoms, however many that might be, should condemn any hatred that is being spewed. Its one thing to dislike a piece of content, its another to threaten people idle or otherwise. That should not be part of any fandom, again however many that might be. Because right or wrong the Star Wars fandom is viewed as one entity. And the longer this type of hatred goes on the more its going to be seen as a toxic fandom not worth being part of or tolerating.
It's not just celebration, it's any star wars event. And you can't say, that's just the most dedicated fan base. Because that's exactly the point. The majority of the fanbase is exactly how they should be, supportive when it's warranted and critical when it's not.
It came up very recently on here. I believe I linked to the article with his mom. It's actually very interesting the things she had to say. It sounds like he's improving but not ready to get back into star wars. If he ever does, I think he will get a huge welcome back.
