The fans did review bomb it though. Ep 4 had a 39% on rt 9 mins after it came out, not to mention the first 2 episodes having the same thing before it came out. Even people’s bots have been targeting fan films and unrelated movies because they didn’t program them right. Edit: Review bombing isn’t justified because you don’t like a show, it’s disingenuous and childish. Especially because the only reason it was review bombed before it came out was because of “too much diversity” (and anyone who review bombed it otherwise was still being influenced by that hate bandawagon)

To be fair, there's a non-zero amount of people who think "GONE WOKE!" is the most scathing critique you could ever give, and the Star Wars fandom is basically the world capital of this. Usually boils down to reasons like there being a woman or minority in the lead role. If you don't believe me, type 'star wars' in the YT search and you will see these exact sort of grifters

[@briankaslewicz6130]

Meanwhile yesterday, the Nintendo Direct announced a new Metroid & a Zelda-led TLoZ game, both with huge hype and excitement. Almost like The Acolyte feels very disingenuous & ulteriorly motivated to have a female lead as a means to deflect criticism.

[@rayman17420]

In the og trilogy it the rebellion was lead by a lot of women. Mon Mothma was the actual leader of the Rebellion and Princess Leia was also a major figure and leader. In the prequels Naboo was lead by women and Padme was a central and important figure to the story even outside of her relationship to Anakin. So it's both ridiculous and disingenuous to say SW fans don't like strong female characterization in the franchise. It's obviously meant as a distraction and excuse as to why most Disney SW films/shows have done so poorly overall.

How are people still so ignorant. One simple google search will show how they can put out slop like this... yet people fail to see. I'll do the search for you. Just fucking use google. Disney+ has 153 million subscribers as of May 22nd. Their cheapest option is $8 per month, but their highest purchased option is to bundle hulu and disney+ for $10 per month. Simple arithmetic. Lets just assume everyone only buys the cheapest option available. 153 million multiplied by eight dollars is 1.2 BILLION DOLLARS. IN A SINGLE MONTH. THAT'S NOT EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE INVESTMENT MONEY THEY'RE RACKING IN FROM SHAREHOLDERS AND OTHER ASSET COMPANIES, OR EVEN AD REVENUE. Oh and by the way, if you think their subscriber count is dropping, I've got some bad fucking news. They have more subscribers in this quarter than they did in the past 3... so their subscriber growth is trending upwards, and to top it all off, they increased the monthly subscription payment plans in October 2023, and the annual payment option amount in January 2024. They're at Monopoly Money levels of fuck-you-rich. "hOw cAn tHeY sTiLL oPeRaTe LiKe tHiS" guess what their highest viewed content is???????? Kids' movies. Within the past 20 years, Elemental, Frozen, Coco, Encanto, Inside Out, Moana just to name a few... and they were all MASSIVE SUCCESSES. How about the timeless classics? Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Toy Story. All of those movies are rewatched again and again and again... and again. You wanna know what their most watched TV shows are? Bluey... and surprisingly... Grey's Anatomy (apparently South America absolutely loves Grey's Anatomy and The Simpsons according to the stats). This isn't about always making good content. They've already got their consistent revenue stream. For them, it's about throwing as much shit at the wall as they can and seeing what sticks, and then capitalizing on it when they hit big. That is the reason why we continue to see this slop. Despite the controversy this show has made, it was still the 3rd most watched Disney+ show on June 19th. So even still... people say they hate the show... but.... people are still.... watching it?????????? Real nice move.

Anytime someone says it’s because men don’t want a female lead has lost the plot. There are some men out there who are sexist but for the vast majority of people we just want something compelling something interesting. Not watered down garbage.

[@Izthefaithful]

It’s a “thought stopping device” something that used to shut down any critical thinking to the topic at hand. Blame fans and slander them with horrible lies in order to shift blame so that the obvious problems with the show are no longer being considered because the fans are “ists” or haters. The fans are the obvious problem 🙄

[@Crystalluss]

I'm a girl, but I'm pretty sure the _very_ vast majority men don't care about the gender of the lead as long as it's a good piece of media. I have two brothers who played the Metroid Prime series all the time when I was young, and they still love those games to this day. I've played it now, and I see why--it's unique, atmospheric, and filled with eerie alien sci-fi. I love it, too.

The underlying issue with badly written female characters is they usually flaunt their femininity as a powerful stance. Basically stroking their egos without having to do much else

[@FRANK45CASTLE]

@@Crystalluss Not just that game, but anyone who has played the last 3 Tomb Raider games, thinks those games rock. They are some of the best 3rd person action games to drop in 20 years. Its written well, and Lara is a badass barely surviving the entire time. It feels realistic, they don't make her a god like hero. They do make her a mass murderer though lol. Blaming the sex is the dumbest thing ever. They live in such a echo chamber. No idea whats going on in the actual world.

[@hydrohazard9200]

I know this sounds weird but I think the idea behind it is to get them to engage in battle or kill them without using the weapon as a mental challenge not so much a physical one. Like I reckon it’s more of a mental strain to kill someone who has no intent on using their weapon. That’s what I think the idea behind it is not so much a physically impossible challenge. Keen to see if they blow that out of the water and that’s not at all what it means😂.

[@Greygoose0-_-0]

In last Jedi if they wanted Luke to turn away and shun himself, then make him go down that Vader path. Build it into a redemption. all we get is Luke.. lurking around kylie Ben bedside. .and it's obvious the fear of everyone becoming a potential Vader or even his behaviorial tendencies (bad parental care everyone he loves dies etc.) had messed his faith up or corrupted it, but they took it too far not explaining anything. Just layering new people to the mix felt like Dave's NOT chicken being announced and promoted (and charge it more expensive!) shit, we would not forget about the mc rib if you keep taking it away from us why do you think the world goes apeshit when mcrib is back. The whole idea was laid for them and instead they limp dick it all to be well just a forged vergence in the force, early bust🥜🐿️. Somehow these people in control want to be the sith IRL. Corrupt our intelligence and interpretation of the force ✨ already. Don't let them stray us from the light.

It's such a tired defense. With shows like Arcane and Fallout getting huge praise, despite being female led, you'd think they'd put the pieces together that "shows failing due to sexism" is a myth at this point. But nope.
