re: Video: Ewan McGregor weighs in. If you don't like Reva's character you are a racist

I mean, if you can't be critical of an apparently central character, how can a show be enjoyed?

One can be critical of media, actors, musicians, or whatever without using racial slurs and hateful personal attacks. Do you agree or disagree with that sentiment? If the latter, you’re part of the problem.

Now as to your asinine question. Why must we be critical of something to enjoy it. That seems a pretty pessimistic and negative lens to look at life through. If it’s enjoyable, simply enjoy it.

You know what type of people criticize other people taking stands against racism? Racists.

When people say only one group can be racist, and I take a stand against that racist rhetoric then get criticized for it, does that make the people critiquing racist?

She was the wrong skin color.

Did you just completely miss Moises Ingram’s post that showed messages calling her the N-word and other slurs?

---

Messages probably sent by other black people to drum publicity and sympathy.

This site is mostly far right racists who pretend racism doesn’t exist. Any black athlete that speaks up about black issues becomes the enemy to people like those who are the majority of this site, but then claim racism doesn’t exist.

Clearly this woman was being harassed by racists, but that can’t be true for people on here because racism doesn’t exist. So this lady couldn’t have had anything like that happen to her, even though the person who started this thread admitted she gave at least one piece of evidence that it happened.

It’s fricking wild reading how insane people on here are, while they act like it’s the other side that are really crazy. The party of white supremacy and wannabe dictator Donald Trump really believe they aren’t as bad or crazy as them nazi liberals and dumb Dims. It’s surreal watching and reading both sides behave like unhinged mental patients.

Every time someone on here complains about the left wanting to cancel something offensive, I immediately just think of what happened to the Dixie Chicks. See, the right don’t cancel things for being offensive. They just outright cancel things and people they don’t like or agree with, like gays, blacks, country music groups with different political stances.

Not only are you a snowflake, you're a vagina-shaped snowflake. Like a hexagon with a series of vaginas radiating out from the center, a marvel of nature really.

Conservatives complain more about not being able to watch something because it offends their sensitive little brains than anyone. They find liberal propaganda and wokeness in everything.

This is the group of people who shite all over Obama then wanted to throw people out the country for criticizing Trump cause “you ain’t a patriot if you criticize the president”.

I didn’t like JarJar either. Does that make me alienist?

Is Ewan McGregor saying that? He's clearly not. Sure Kathleen Kennedy called anyone who didn't like TLJ a racist (and some were indeed viciously racist towards Kelly Marie Tran) and sexist, but Ewan isn't doing that here. I believe Ewan and Moises that she got extremely outright racist messages to her since people on the internet can just be animals to one another.

I didnt listen to Ewans rant. I was just responding to the poster.

I like the story, but they definitely display revas character as just the angry woman.

And the scenes with Leia are just fricking terrible.

I have seen way more videos making fun of the running scenes than ive seen people upset over reva. So i dont understand the cries of racism. Like i dont think people were upset mace windu was played by Jackson. Maybe they were and I didnt notice?

Who is you people? I bet you think I’m a socialist Nazi woke snowflake liberal who wants to cancel everything.

Just to be clear, I think it’s fricking ridiculous that the left acts like individuals who belong to certain groups can’t be criticized or can’t even disagree with those individuals without being called racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic.

The Josh Donaldson thing was dumb as shite and an example of people just labeling someone a racist for no reason and misrepresenting what actually happened.

But, I also think people on the right are hypocrites and mostly full of shite. See, I think everyone sucks. No one is fricking capable of being rational and thinking clearly anymore. The mostly conservative majority on this board like to act like they are the chosen people who have everything figured out.

Nah. Just not in favor of changing definitions on the fly to facilitate your Motte and Bailey’s, tend to adhere to things that have been true since the dawn of time, and don’t react emotionally to criticism because we somehow believe we are a marginalized group with no political power that has the backing of most of corporate America and both chambers of congress/the executive.
