@@ProjectExMachina Disney writters been trying to turn the villains into victims/heroes and the heroes into villains/nasty characters.

For examples we have Cruella, Malefica, in the upcoming Mufasa they trying to make Scar the victim and Mufasa the usurper who stole the throne. In Star Wars they been systematicaly removing the while male heroes, and they trying to make the Jedi look like some kind of heinous kidnappers and just overal bad... They are so bent into that they even go against the lore/canon... in the precuels, is well stablished Jedi doesn't take kids after a certain age to be trained, Anakin was younger then the girls in the Acolyte and they didn't want to train him, of course also beause of the fact Yoda felt fear in him. Here in the Acolyte the girls are way too old to be trained according to the Jedi's own rules and they still tried to take them, then they have to make the guy be incompetent by not trying to just levitate the girls and instead he tries to hold the whole bridge wth them which obviously was too much for him... Is just an absolute disgrace the level of "writting" in this show... from the fire in space, to the burn of a freaking stone cave, to the dialog, to how op the sith guy is, the fact they included Mundi just to have some "known" Jedi master, and how they even totaly distroyed Plagueis... that was the worst insult... and we only have the consolation that they wont expand on that...

Well that's because Star Wars fans feel that it's totally appropriate for occasional side characters to be black or female. But a *lead* being black AND female?? Blasphemy.

"Strong and independent ma'me that don't need no man saga type of movie. Made for Mary Sue crowd." "No one wants a girl boss movie." "Instead of writing the best story. It's more about identity politics." "Force is not female when it's male dominated. Pronouns pronouns pronouns." From the third "most helpful" review on Google, per 4116 people who rated it as such: "seems designed more to cause controversy and annoy fans sensitive to “woke” tropes. It feels deliberate. There aren’t any masculine characters at all. There aren’t feminine characters either. Nobody is attractive, funny or charismatic. Just wooden and bland. They go out of their way to insert an obese Jedi. These are supposed to be disciplined trained warriors. It is immersion-breaking because it is so “current day” 2024 US socio-pandering commentary…not escapism." "The casting is 'diverse' yet feels deliberately discriminatory. It clearly excludes certain demographics in a way that feels very intentional. If you are that demographic, you will notice it, and clearly the message is 'this show is not made for you.'"

Look, he killed a lady that was attacking him! He saved the girl that wasn't trying to burn the place to the ground (though I can't see how any of them know Mae started the fire other than Osha telling them, but I think they told her Mae started a fire as soon as she woke up...) who literally said she was going to kill her sister.

Also Fin could be force sensitive (cause stormtrooper jedi is something we all wanted) and have him and Rey learn the force together whille entire cast cooperates together using their strenghts in same way old crew did it.

"We can clearly see that most fans have zero problem with equal and fair diversity" Well, that's a lie.. If you went into any community you'd see the amount of shit people say, that's definitely not true. The Acolyte did have its problems, but racism is indeed in fact a problem within the fandom. To lie about that is just silly. Ignoring something doesn't magically mean it's going to become non existent.

Funny how somehow there’s no “racism” against Avatar given the main female co-star is not white, the Acolyte was rated decently and didn’t get a huge backlash, and the lead is not white. These same guys love Alien and Aliens even though the lead is a woman. Spoiler alert, IT’S NOT RACISM OR BIGOTRY OR MISOGYNY. It’s just a terrible show written by bad writers who don’t actually love Star Wars.

This actress is becoming unhinged and is in serious danger of threatening her career. I really hope someone older can sit her down and offer some solid advice. Usually this kind of stuff is evidence of a mental health issue, or something in her background is causing her to react towards people this way. If she doesn’t adjust her attitude soon, she’s going to become rotten fruit for the industry that employs her. No one wants to work with a head case like this that offers constant headlines because of stuff she says. She’s seriously going to hurt her career if she doesn’t get it together soon. Toxic people like this will then lash out at the industry when she’s considered not hire-able. Claiming they are racist or sexist for her not getting the jobs she wants from Hollywood. But these people are doing it to themselves. Please Amandla, consider going to a counselor to get some help.

[@cybertramon0012]

I feel like the problem for people like her is that no one ever gave them perspective. Everyone kept telling them that they're so talented and amazing, and if anyone doesn't like their work it's because they're jealous.

[@deepbludreams]

Pretty sure it's already over for her, Acolyte was among the most expensive flops to ever hit Streaming/TV and a major contributing factor was how horrible of an actress she was, unskilled, unqualified and unable to do her job, it's blatantly clear she just hits check boxes and that's how she got this role. And the one thing Hollywood needs more than forced diversity is money and by got she lost them a boat load, it's unlikely she will ever have a major role again.

Go straight back into victim mode & scream about being oppressed & waaaycissm. It's a power play. These types of people are not able to earn or build anything on their own, so they corrupt & try to guilt you into handing over the reign of power.
