Nothing too serious, i want to hear your petty, your eccentric, your off beat takes.

    Maybe I’ve never seen the “right-wing” criticism of The Last Jedi… But all the criticism I have seen is basically the same as yours (plus “wtf gravity dropping bombs out of a hole in the bottom of a space ship”).

      Seriously? There was a whole movement to reshoot the movie because the, “SJWs,” had ruined Star Wars. They claimed they, “destroyed,” Luke’s character because that wanted to, “empower,” Rey. They were furious that Poe was getting reprimanded by women, and that Hodo wore a dress. They even bullied the lady who played Rose Tico off of Instagram for being a woman of color in Star Wars.

      I didn’t even like talking my problems with the movie because I didn’t want to be lumped in with the Groypers and incels. I kept seeing reviews and comments talking about how this completely turned Star Wars on it’s head and I kept thinking, “no it fucking didn’t, they chickened out and reestablished the status quo at the last second,” but I kept my mouth shut for years.

      Edit: This smug little weirdo makes for a good case study of the right-wing grievance culture around the movie. Just be sure to watch with an ad blocker so you don’t give him any revenue.

        Yea, I dunno, I guess I’m glad I missed all that, this is all news to me. That entire trilogy was so bad for so many reasons I guess I just kinda checked out and didn’t even realize.

      I heard a bunch of right wing criticism of The Force Awakens, and it was mainly “A WOMAN AND A BLACK MAN? HOW CAN I EVEN CONCENTRATE ON THE FILM WHEN THEY’RE INSULTING ME WITH A BLACK MAN AND A WOMAN, IT’S SO FALSE AND FAKE.”

      So yeah, pretty racist and misogynist.
