Vocal, yes. Significant? Not even remotely. Again, the numbers and facts are right there in front of you. But you ignore them. Just like you ignore everything that doesn't fit your preconceived notions.

Oh, believe me, I fully understand the point you're trying to make.
Ah, so instead of conceding the point that your premise is flat out fricking wrong, you're just going to continue to deflect.
Gotcha. Like I said, you ignore anything that goes against your worldview.
You are no better than those you criticize, and you're either too fricking stupid or too fricking arrogant to realize it. I'm leaning towards the latter. You reek of smug shitstain.

Vocal and significant. Both are correct.
Again, go check out any of the dipshits I brought up earlier. They put forward the same idiotic views that we can readily see in this thread, and they have millions of people following their content. The comment sections for that content reads the same as this thread.
This isn't a secret.

Being a moron isn't going to get you out of this one. You can pretend that what I've posted isn't true and post bullshite about "ThE nUmBers" or whatever other bullshite you want, and it won't change a thing.
I've actually provided examples. You've simply screamed about "numbers and facts!"
Be a little count all you want, but you look foolish.

Is it really “forced diversity” when the people in discussion are literally half the population?

Why not transgender freaks as the main characters...?
Go all out.
Go all out.

Sounds like good business. My wife/ wife sisters have zero interest in Star Wars Because it was a "boy thing"
They are missing an entire demographic

This is how you end up with The Last Jedi and the female Ghostbusters abomination. They were both cases where the primary focus was diversity/wokeness, and the story was an afterthought.
Yep. I'm convinced the people who defend this crap actually hate the material they're discussing. They want Star Wars/Ghostbusters/Star Trek/[insert anything else trying to force diversity and sacrificing good stories here] to go away and they know crap movies/TV like these are the quickest way to make that happen.

If they still have zero interest after the Disney trilogy, then nothing is going to get them to watch.
ETA: My wife/daughters got interested with the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons. They hated where the new trilogy went after episode 7 and my girls still haven't stayed awake through any of the prequel trilogy (which surprises me, honestly). We've tried multiple times.
Mandalorian has been the most excited I've ever seen any of them over a Star Wars anything. They are now fully on board to try anything Star Wars coming out and it is totally because of a Star Wars TV show that puts the story first and doesn't try to force anything.

Yes. There is a difference between having diversity and forcing characters into a story to the detriment of the story.
Diversity has never been a problem in Star Wars that ever needed to be addressed.

Tell them to watch Hallmark Christmas movies. They already have their own crap to watch.

Then to quote Brie Larson - it wasn't made for them.
Tell them to go watch A Wrinkle in Time. It's right up their alley.

You haven't provided a single example outside of your own opinions. Because you're a true believer who thinks his opinions are facts.
You deflect, change the subject, move goalposts, and ignore anytime anyone challenges your premises because they cannot stand on their own.
You are, in fact, the poster child for why TLJ failed and Rian Johnson and Kennedy threw a crybaby tantrum calling everyone misogynists and racists.
When people don't follow your religion, you lash out because you are incapable of the self reflection required to understand why they would not.

I've provided very specific examples in this very thread.
You've provided nothing but rhetoric and platitudes. Nothing useful.
You're more interested in running your mouth about me than discussing anything. It's pathetic.

From what I can tell, I've ruffled the feathers of a handful of idiots who spend time talking about an election that's getting close to being over for two months.
If your opinion is the measure of anyone embarrassing themselves, I'm just fine with that take. Same goes for the other 3-4 in the same group.

It's weird that you find this odd. Lots of people are talking about this election, especially in professional circles where we have to prepare for any potential legislative or executive actions. Is this board your only source of social interaction these days?

I didn't say you had to care. I just said you are embarrassing yourself. You then proceeded to take that a step further. Well done.

I'm sorry to be the one to introduce you to reality but, outside of your bubble, people have moved on to talking about things like the transition and the upcoming Biden presidency.
Have fun hoping something else happened in November.

I know what you said, and I responded accordingly. I didn't say anything about not caring. I said that it's a point of satisfaction to be in opposition to someone like you.

Based on your response, you clearly didn't understand the words you quoted. It's getting sad at this point.

This is never going to be a good response in any discussion, just so you're aware.
I clearly understood the attempt you made to sidestep your way out of it.
Unfortunately for you, your post history isn't a secret.

Lots of people post on the politics board. Me posting there doesn't mean whatever you think it means.
Since you've clearly figured out that you have no leg to stand on in this Star Wars discussion, you've now moved on to pointing out that people post on one of the most popular boards on this site. You're embarrassing yourself.
