Rightwing Star Wars “fans” are not true fans

As expected, the fake rightwing “fans” of Star Wars are complaining about a black woman villain. And that is what they focus on.

Understand this. Star Wars has always been a progressive franchise. It’s about a group of rebels fighting a fascist Empire. Even the casting of Leia and, later, of Lando, was about progressive inclusion. There is nothing wrong with casting a POC and woman as Reva. So far, this character is doing her job well.

This franchise is not for rightwingers and their usual bigotry.

So, the rightwing “fans” should just leave this board. You are not true fans and you don’t belong here.

Yeah you'll no doubt get the counterargument that people who just appreciate higher standards in acting are bein unfairly labelled as racist/xenophobic. Then why is that we hear complaints that she was allowed to kill the cool looking grand inquisitor so easily? What the fuck does that have to do with the standard of the acting?

We even have these chickenshits complaining that the actor generally upstages the other inquisitors and is unreasonably confident and arrogant. The other inquisitors chastise her for this!!!!! How can people be that dumb at their age that they can't separate actor from character while being completely ignorant that they character's personality flaws are acknowledged in universe?

Omg you couldn’t be more wrong. No one cares about her race, her character sucks.

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

Some people do. Rightwingers in this board, apparently.

[–] FilmBuff (7347) 3 years ago

I'm sure any of the make-believe caricatures you have created for your fantasy version of a right wing individual will do as you say. Not that any such people exist, but you can tell yourself that the world you've created in your head is a better place now for you having posted your nonsense. Well done, keep up the good fight and show those fascist racists who's boss!

Another comes here, lol.

Since when did one's political persuasion have anything to do with Star Wars?

Also you answered your own question ... OBVIOUSLY Star Wars fans are tolerant and inclusive since the show has been progressive SINCE THE 70's ... Talk about an own goal 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

The character you're talking about has an emotional state that ranges from angry, to angry and back to angry again LOL btw so nothing to do with 'race' but nice try 🤦.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, it is the rightwingers that are complaining about Reva’s race and gender. And there are threads and posts on that.

These rightwing “fans” have been complaining about race and gender in Star Wars ever since we first saw Finn in the teaser of TFA.

They are are the ones that made it an issue, while the rest of us just wanted to enjoy new additions to the franchise.

They are not real fans. A real fan would not have an issue with the characters race and gender.

Why didn't these imaginary racists attack Moff Gideon and Carl Weathers, then?

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

You need to asked Babadook and the others who have made Reva’s race and gender an issue.

[–] Guitar King (4964) 3 years ago

The answer to my question is "Because Moff Gideon and Carl Weathers were well acted and well written characters". Disney bigots only brings up the whole "SW fans are racist" BS whenever they want to shield themselves from bad casting decisions and bad writing.

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

So, according to you, it’s okay to be racist and mysogynistic if the acting is bad, lol.

[–] Guitar King (4964) 3 years ago

Disney bigots have not provided any real evidence of racism or misogyny toward Reva. How much do Disney bigots pay you to troll post?

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

We know there were racist posts like this one.

https://moviechat.org/tt8466564/Obi-Wan-Kenobi/629185cb3f0def137abca735/Great-so-we-lose-Spoiler

So, it is indisputable that there are some racist and mysogynistic posts against Reva.

[–] Guitar King (4964) 3 years ago

Oh, that post where Babadook innocently mentions Reva's race and you and all the other race baiters falsely accused him of racism?

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

It was a racist and mysogynistic post. Not surprising that a racist and a mysogynist such as yourself would agree.

[–] sokar (2098) 3 years ago

It was a racist and mysogynistic post

Just because you say something and keep repeating it doesn't make it true.

Now call me the same as you have done to everyone else as you have no real arguements or discussion points.

All you have is "they dare disagree with me and so must be racist"

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

All you guys do is deny racist statements, even though they are most definitely racist.

Denying it won’t stop it from being true.

Only people that are racist, stupid or both don’t think those statements are racist.

[–] janelsenor (2048) 3 years ago

The way I remember it, people mistakenly thought a stormtrooper had to be a clone of Jango Fett, and that's why they were upset at seeing Boyega as a stormtrooper.

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

No, they complained about his race.

Clone Troopers and Storm Troopers are not the same. Storm Troopers have always been regular people.

Besides, TFA takes place 30 years after ROTJ. Nothing states that they had to be clones.

[–] janelsenor (2048) 3 years ago

I know that Clonetroopers and Stormtroopers are different, but many had the misconception that they weren't.

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

And that’s fine. But don’t pretend people didn’t hate Finn because he is black.

[–] Sparky (2646) 3 years ago

the right are also not true Scotsmen

[–] naDaht (1087) 3 years ago

Aye. No true Scotsman...

[–] Sparky (2646) 3 years ago

this is the first black person they allowed to be a villain in some time. a women even.

[–] christomacin (4675) 3 years ago

Moff Gideon?

[–] emori (3661) 3 years ago

No. Episode 5 revealed that she is not a villain, as everyone predicting and saw miles away. She just wants to kill Vader.

So now they will try to do a makeover to make her good. Despite her killing so many innocent people and torturing children.

Its hilarious. Thats why writers and producers got so offended and nuts when everyone actually started to hate this Reva villain. And were like: "Yo, slow down people. Why are you hating thing black villain? Ricists much? You actually have to adore her because we will have a surprise revelation that she was not evil all along. Just wait for it".

And people were like: "Nope, we hate her because she is villain that does bad thongs. And she is annoying and full of herself"

Oh dear. We have a White Woke Savior here to lecture everyone on wokeism )))))

You know that its almost 95% that person who wrote that post is a 20 something purple hair woke clown of rich parents that didnt seen a Star Wars movie in her life. Only those new ones. Only the second one, the woke one.

Dear White Savior. No one likes Reva because she is bad and annoying character, played by very bad actress. She is simply not believable as serious and respected villain. She constantly throws tantrums and there is no way she would get that high up on her job with that attitude. She did that only because writers made her.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

[–] emori (3661) 3 years ago

Sure Jan

Only white left wing women are so obsessed with their white savior complex that they run around Internet and shut out posts in defense of "people of color" as they nick named all non-whites. Because they think of themselves as "good and smart whities" and convinced themselves that they need to "save" all those "poor people of color" because they think those are too stupid to defend themselves and need their help.

A read your answers here. Honey there is no chance that you are not white woke woman, jumping here "to defend opressed person of color".

[–] ATG6 (3000) 3 years ago

A movie franchise that made a hero out of a smuggler packing a blaster, and showed the importance of the right to keep and bear arms to resist imperial tyranny can't have right wing fans?

[–] Boricanator (1447) 3 years ago

Rightwingers believe in absolute submission to Law and Order and bigotry.

That’s what the Imperials support, not the rebels.

Emperor Palpatine groomed Anakin to the dark side and everybody knows the Democrat party is the party of groomers, jackass.
