Just stop pretending it's not happening.


While you pretend there isn't a group (even here on this site) that lose their collective shite anytime someone who isn't a white male is cast in a lead role, even when it makes sense for a character doesn't exist?

Sure.

Because that's not what is happening.

Never heard of a WHITE Hispanic ?

It was never a thing, until it was made a thing.

But that's not really happening though. People bitch when characters are race swapped or gender swapped for no reason. If an established character is already a white dude, what's the purpose in swapping? Original characters are what Hollyweird is the worst at, which is one reason why they usurp established ones and swap them.

There are absolutely people who do that.

Hell, there are people on this board that do that.

Funny, how we're supposed to not flinch one bit when a character is swapped via race, gender, etc... but it's a hell's fury if anyone DARES to 'culturally appropriate' something.

Can't have it both ways, SJW clowns.

So name them. Or name the original characters that have been slagged strictly because of race or gender.

Quit judging outrage by what people say on twitter etc. Just cause the media focuses on that doesnt mean the community as a whole is mad.

Is there anything that you enjoy?

Seriously, we're at the doorstep of the greatest time to be a Star Wars fan, and people like you would rather be miserable because of some fantasy about a white male majority in a space opera.

It seems like every post eventually turns into nothing but complaining.

That's a selective mindset

It's just being force fed shite every single turn. Why can't a movie be made as just a movie?

It's constant nagging and complaining from a fringe group on representing x, y, z group.

Just make a fricking movie with a good storyline. If it has gay, minorities, females etc starring and it's a good movie then that's awesome. But for fricks sakes it's so tiresome to see the industry force feed shite down everyone's mouth.

Deadpool, Alita, The Boys, The Expanse, The Monsterverse, Spider-Man:Into the Spiderverse ... lots of stuff.

I disagree with your assessment of the future of SW.

It can, but we’ll see.

There's been complaining about The Mandalorian. Not a movie, sure, but it has a great story and there's still whining about it. Too many bad white dudes, too many women beating up men, too many minorities, etc.

It's dishonest to act like that isn't going on. There's nothing selective about it. Star Wars fans seem determined to complain about something.

No need. I know what I’ve posted. And why.

Perhaps you should read more carefully.

Right.

You're foolish enough to buy into bullshite clickbait articles and you're determined to be offended. Damn reality, you'd rather be miserable.

Sound about right? Because that's what you've posted.

Star Wars has been incredible with The Mandalorian and it's going to continue getting better. I hope you can find a way to enjoy it.

I’ve heard it’s good but haven’t even seen but a few episodes. I can’t claim it to be incredible with out having seen the whole thing yet.

( The Expanse - I’ve seen, that’s incredible. )

Possible, if it continues on its present course & we see the sequel trilogy erased, then I’ll agree.

Now THAT’S funny. I don’t need to buy anything! I can see for myself the piles of hot garbage being passed off as Star Wars.
