How woke is this?


I haven’t watched this series, but I’ve heard that they turned Chewbacca black? And Boba Fett is white but slowly turns brown as he grows as a person? And his second-in-command is an Asian woman?

Political correctness gone mad, if true.

1. The wookie in the show is not Chewbacca. And we're literally talking about black FUR. Not all wookies have brown fur.

2. Boba is not "white" at the beginning of the show. The actor is Maori to begin with. But he was in the Sarlac for who knows how long, and his body/skin were severely damaged. Hence his need sleep in a bacta tank to restore it.

3. Yes, his second in command is an Asian woman, a former assassin whose life he saved. Why is that relevant in the slightest?

4. I hate forced/phony SJW/Woke BS more than most. But you just sound like you have zero idea what you're talking about, or you're trolling.

Disgusting.

1. The wookie is a Furry. OP is racist against furries.
3. It's not "woke" enough for him. In his "woke" world all actors should be white.
4. Using the acronym SJW pejoratively is internet wokism. In real life social justice warriors were good people like Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

None of you millennials have any idea what you're talking about.

1. I'm not a "millennial".

2. Ageism is just as bad as every other form of bigotry.

3. You're using "woke" wrong. And no, those people you listed, to a man, would not have identified or WANTED to be identified as "Social Justice Warriors". For one thing, Franklin and Jefferson were not especially big on equality outside of affluent white men, product of their times/class or not. Second, Ghandi was an advocate of peace, and a good man, but again, not necissarily a massive advocate of "social justice", he just wanted peace/freedom for India. MLK WAS a major advocate for social justice, for everyone, not just POC. But he was no "warrior".

The difference between being a advocate for change, and being an "SJW", is huge. One actually goes out into the world and tries to be a positive (peaceful) force within it. The other sits around on their smartphone, in a classroom, or very rarely in some performative (see: phony) protest, and yells and moans about the world, while virtue signaling as hard as possible about how they and people they like are "one of the good ones", while demonizing everyone else who in their eyes isn't (IE anyone they disagree with even slightly). "SJWs" deal in phony moral grandstanding, and public acts of performative virtue. People like MLK actually cared about people and the world. The vast majority of so-called "Social Justice Warriors", when you get right down to it, only care about themselves and their insular, safe little bubble. They cry out for "justice/equality" for others more to feel good about themselves for having done so, than because they actually care. And they can/will turn on and eat their own, over any and every little perceived break with whatever the current popular narrative is. It's quite disturbing and sickening, actually.

Very well put!

Eloquently expressed and not insane-sounding at all.

3. Yes they were all regarded as social justice warriors and including Mandela were referred to as such.

"not especially big on equality"

Being big on equality isn't the sole classification that makes someone a social justice warrior. Firefighters can be regarded as social justice warriors. People that go out and petition against gerrymandering and sweat shop labor can be regarded as social justice warriors. The ACLU who fights for our constitutional rights and took on the TSA and CBP can be considered social justice warriors.

"The difference between being a advocate for change, and being an "SJW", is huge."

No it's not. It's the same thing with the exception that SJWs are for positive change, not just change. Turning Social justice warrior into an acronym and making it somehow pejorative is a newspeak millennial internetism and was created by geek gamers.
Good article describing the immaturity and lunacy of it.

Baptist minister, the Rev. James Obey Sr.’s, 1992 obituary in the Houston Chronicle was titled, “Social justice warrior dies.” In 2007, “Social Justice Warrior” Monsignor David Cappo was honored with an award. And lawyer-turned filmmaker Ana Kokkinos told a newspaper reporter in 2009 that “what attracted me to law at that age was the idea of being a social justice warrior.”


the rest of your claptrap. sorry tl;dr.

Lol low tier troll attempt.

They should be cancelled for not having gays though.

reply

He's trying to cancel them because an Asian woman is acting in it.

reply

Someone’s sexuality isn’t their only defining trait. No one should any attempt of romance

reply

That's definitely trolling going mad. Aren't you being politically correct because in your political world a Maori actor is "brown" and it's not politically acceptable for an asian woman to be second in command?

What will historians in the future say about your generation? This is the generation that trolled the world into destruction.

Trumpers gonna trump.

reply

Yep. Scumbags.

reply

No.

reply

It isn't woke. It is just shit.

Content for contents sake. It offers no story, nothing. The fact the main character disappears for 2 episodes to bring in an even more popular character should tell you everything.

This looks like it was 2 episodes of the mandalorian they didn't air and stretched it over a season.

reply

Erm gets a 7.7 on IMDB. That's considered pretty good.

reply

It's not woke, it's wookie.

reply

Disgusting.

This has to be the funniest thing I ever read

reply

Correct.

reply

Is saying "Woke" politically correct? Because I find it kind of irritating and I hear the rightist Russian supporters using it the most.

reply

Nyet.
