I'm not saying they should do it, I'm saying they have the ability to and haven't.
That's because the majority of fans actually do hate it and there aren't enough defenders of it to pump the score up.

So why would anyone review bomb it?
Like what’s the point?
shitty shows will sink or swim on their own and your all so sure this show is shitty.

I can't disagree with your assessment. Particularly the straight black women with white men - SA, you know the swirl in that direction is relatively rare to begin with, but when it involves one of these outspoken/high-profile "women of color", it likely involves something deeper as you suggest.

This is my point. If I see a show sitting at 63% or something then I can at least guess that it is probably just mediocre and I can skip it in favor of something else for the time being.
When I see review bombs and something is at 15% but people bragging about it having not even watched it, the score doesn't mean anything to me. Especially when the critics have it so high (where anonymous internet scores don't count)

Critics have it at 84 percent. That’s not high on RT for critics when “meh” is rated as fresh.

I can promise you I didn't go review it but you're not going to believe me anyway.
All I've done is use lore and evidence to destroy the ridiculous talking points and the canon breaking things the show does.

Yes, that’s 100% correct.
it’s 85% of critics think it’s at least a 3.5 out 5 i think.
that’s 70%.
Rotten tomatoes is literally there to show you what percentage of viewers thing a movie is better than ok.
It’s not a place to rant about the EU canon.

It's unfortunate. These prominent interracial relationships reflect poorly on the BW/WM pairing. Most relationships of that particular combo are usually more conservative politically or not political at all. Let's not get into what might happen in their bedrooms as they fight for social justice.

Most of the discourse attacking the show isn’t show related though.
or it’s something extremely petty.
Why are we acting like Ki-Adi-Mundi’s age is that important?

Because he wasn't alive during this time period. He's also the one in Ep1 that said the Sith have been extinct for a millennia.
They literally put the guy that contradicts their show into the show
ETA: they edited his age on Wookiepedia to reflect their lack of lore knowledge.

Why are you fighting tooth and nail to defend every frame of this show and Disney Star Wars as a whole?

I listened to the song that Miss Stenberg just put out. I can't really describe how bad it is. Remember that young black woman that shite on her rich white father at his funeral? It's like that combined with angry lyrics, no discernible singing ability and zero dance moves.

See, that’s where you’re wrong. Every comment I see against the show deals directly with the show, how the story is nonsensical, the writing and plot meandering, disjointed, and contradictory to not only Star Wars canon, but to its own previous episodes. How the acting is sub-par at best, with the closest thing to a good performance being given by an actor who’s only been speaking the English language for a few months.
On the other hand, I’ve yet to see anyone lay out what is good about the show. The only defense I see is accusations racism, sexism, homophobia leveled against anyone who doesn’t like the show.
But no one is actually laying out a real defense of the show or even refuting any of the negatives I laid out above.
Look, I know you want it to be good. Hell, I wanted it to be good. I’ve loved Star Wars for 48 years. I was six years old when the original was released. It’s been my favorite franchise ever since. I grew up with all the Star Wars toys, movies, shows, merch, books, etc. Everyone who knows me I’m a level nine Star Wars nerd. So, when this show was introduced I wanted to to be good. Even when the videos of Lesley Headland talking about all the DEI, feminist, and homo stuff she was putting in the show came out, I still wanted it to be good. In the night it premiered I went into the first two episodes wanting them to be good.
But we have to be honest. They’re not good. And it’s not because she made a conscious effort to exclude white men from the show. It not because she chose to lace every episode with her political beliefs. It’s because the product she made is bad. It would be bad if every single character was a straight white, middle aged man wearing a MAGA hat. I’m sorry, but that’s the bottom line truth even if you refuse to admit it.

To be fair to Ilhan Omar, she’s not dating a white dude. She’s a brother fricker.

according to what? The source of his age is pretty weak.

But that’s also contradicted in the same movie.
You have Ki-Adi-Mindi claiming the Sith have been extinct for millennia, which is a reference to the ends of the Jedi-Sith War.
In the same movie Yoda discusses the Rule of 2 which is pretty well established in the Lore as a Sith Policy they developed after the Jedi-Sith War. So clearly the jedi have encountered sith since they went “extinct” or else how would Yoda know about that?

Even setting aside the issue of his age, the bigger issue is in Phantom Menace when he stated during a meeting of the council that the Sith had been extinct for a millennium. Now I don’t know what the creators of this show are going to call Dath Zippermouth, but he’s a dude dressed in black robes, uses the Dark Side, wants to kill Jedi, and had a red lightsaber. So his existence in this show makes what Ki-Adi-Mundi say about the Sith in PM make no sense. Or are we to believe he (and all the other Jedi in this show) somehow and for some reason kept this whole storyline a secret from the Jedi council for a century and Ki-Adi-Mundi was still lying about it 100 years later?
