    I dunno, I’m pretty tired of star wars and find it rather uncool as well. Sorry nerds, but Star Wars, Marvel comics, and Harry Potter are all mainstream, they’re all problematic, and none of them are cool anymore. Go read indie comics, watch PeerTube, and play open source games. It was never cool to be mainstream.

      Or, just a theory, we let people like what they like?

      Bashing on something just because it’s mainstream just screams “I’m 14” to everyone.

        For sure, but also stop glorifying bad material. Star wars have 9 main movies and maybe 2 or 3 are good and the shows are hit or miss or have a lot of unnecessary archs just for the sake of extending the playtime (+ disney)

        Marvel: see above

        I appreciate they Harry Potter got me into reading but the story is full of plot holes and the author is a TERF

        there’s a lot of good material don’t by not problematic authors that deserve more attention
