He’s mad because people are pointing out that a Sci-Fi show got the Sci wrong lol.


People still consider Star Wars Sci-Fi?

Space opera, yeah. Fantasy, yes. If having space ships fly through space automatically makes something science fiction, then fine. But that's basically the only sci-fi element.

And yes, it is weird how much some of you care about any science in a fantasy show, especially when Lucas very clearly did not share that concern.

Lucas was always in favor of taking something that looked (or sounded) cool over something that made sense scientifically.

It's funny that the people trying to argue the science of this show makes it bad are the same people that already hated the show. It's some weird attempt to validate their opinion.

Go through the first 5 pages of this thread and you'll see Roaaad and SEK bitching about the show before it was even released.

Roaaad said episode 3 would show u have to have same sex relations to use the force and talked about how woke the show would be.

I guess when the show didn't have enough woke stuff to complain about he had to bitch about how electricity works

It’s called spoilers and there was plenty of woke shite but you guys cried so much people just dropped it and focused on the objective failures in the narrative, logistics, characters, canon and writing.

Why ask a question like that? You’re just going to deny it like you do with everything else so why waste my time with it. Like you said it’s already been discussed.

I just heard so much about how it was gonna be super woke before the show and now that it is over I don't recall hearing a single person in the show called by pronouns or even any gay couples scenes or anything like that.

I definitely watched the show. They did use pronouns? I may have missed it.

Where was the gay stuff?

Witches covens are a fantasy trope that has been around a while and I've never heard them called gay haha

Yeah I honestly don't recall anything super woke in this show. Everyone thought the coven was going to be woke, but they really weren't.

They used they/them in ep 4 and there was a blooming homosexual relationship between Osha and Jecki that was referenced a couple times. We all know what the coven was all about, there’s a lesbian couple leading it and a trans person in the coven.

The morals that govern the entire narrative are based on current day woke ideology. Stenberg even talks about it in her dis track to the fans and headland straight up says it is.

The stuff must have been more subtle in the show than in the dies track.

I tried to watch the diss track but found it annoying so I cut it off in the first 10 seconds or so.

Has she done music before? Her cadence is so mundane and monotone.

She isn't credited with any music. Maybe she sang in her kindergarten choir
