The Acolyte Cope NEVER ENDS

[@disparutoo]

Star Wars The Acolyte reviews may have pretended The Acolyte was the best ever Star Wars, but they couldn't convince the audience. Since then The Rolling Stone decided their best tactic was a long rant that seems to just gaslight and fabricate arguments out of thin air. But interestingly by the end, you get the idea that they simply cannot understand what the audience thinks. Because they judge the quality on the categories of the actors, they can only assume the audience judges the show negatively off the same criteria. It would be pitiful, if the attitude wasn't so repulsive. But what did you think of the article? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

See, because she's only had 99% of the things she has in her life handed to her without any real effort on her part, it means that she's had to work a thousand times harder than everyone else on the planet for that 1%. So clearly she's in a position to lecture everyone about how much privilege they have compared to her. All she has is millions of dollars, being able to say and do whatever she wants without losing her job, star in a failed show and will assuredly get hired for another one without having to try for it, and has the protection of all the sheep online defending anything she does under the guise of "criticizing her for anything, ever, is *ist and *phobic." So clearly everyone else is FAR more privileged than her. See? You just need to be -shown your place- reminded of how privileged you are. Yes, that's it.

Well, yes. Now it's so poorly paid at entry-level, only the trust fund babies can afford to put in the years and years needed to make enough of a name for themselves (and prove they're loyal corporate shills) that they start getting paid a livable wage. Talent and skill doesn't enter into it, other than by pure coincidence, and isn't rewarded much anyway, so not worth much in the way of investment. That time and effort is much better spent schmoozing with the "right people" who can feed you "leaks" and "scoops" created by the PR departments of the big conglomerates, and get you invites to exclusive pre-screenings etc, as long as you play along and contribute to the hype. Or have you never wondered why early reviews are always way, waaay more positive and friendly, than the ones where the reviewers had to spend their own money to go see it in the theaters with the plebs?

[@williamlitsch5506]

Excellent comment. I think that this is exactly what they are doing, on purpose. A vegan doesn't buy a steakhouse by accident. They do it with the intent to punish and admonish steak eaters. They do it because they don't want to build a vegan restaurant accross the street and compete for who has the best lifestyle. They want to top-down smash the competition and other lifestyles using money and power. They don't want to compete in the marketplace of ideas. They don't want to tolerate the existence of alternative lifestyles. They have high religiosity, belong to a powerful cult, and have no principled opposition to authoritarianism. They believe they are better than you, but know they can't compete.

To think that was a good idea, or that it would even get on the radar of the supposed “toxic” fans it was aimed at, is just insanity. None of those older Star Wars fans are or were following Amandla Stenburg, they didn’t know who she was, and I guarantee most of them still don’t know. All she ever did with that move was career suicide. It’s like that story about Gerald Ratner of Ratner’s jewelry who called his product “cheap crap” that he was shocked people even bought. This was in 1992 when he was asked about how they had been able to make such a successful company at some form of conference or news junket, and then suddenly the 300 or more stores in the UK and US were going out of business as both customers and vendors abandoned ship. How is any of this a surprise? Or in any way tragic? Make a bad show, get a bad reaction, no one sees it, leads to cancellation. It’s not rocket science.

Actual Californian here. California does not want this; me and my fellow "Californians" do not want this. It is a vociferous minority of certain producers in Hollywood which have agendas, but probably more likely have a misconception of what makes money, that wants this.

[@pepincuatro2865]

If the producers had a misconception of what makes money, they wouldn't have it to begin with. The people financing this are in it to push a political agenda that could get them more power, they can burn all the money they want. Although they may have a misconception of their ability to mold societies and human nature to their will. It's the talentless activists they're hiring who don't know the first thing of what makes money.

[@Ajdino95]

Another fellow Californian here. NorCal. Most of the state is conservative, but all the money resides in the Bay Area, L.A., and San Diego - three massive liberal zones where all the political power really resides.

The last 4 or 5 minutes of this video were poetry and so on point. Modern media, creative arts and even many sports have now been boiled down to superficial criteria such as colour of skin, sexuality or gender, rather than deeper more complex themes that were used to produce masterpieces and moments of brilliance. And then, the simpletons can't grasp that the majority of people want well written, coherent, thought provoking art, not ham-fisted, painfully dull and stupid, propagandized sludge. The viewers must be toxic and didn't watch because of race, sexuality etc - because they are the only terms or concepts they can grasp. Culturally, we are in a morose hellscape created by Tumblr users and narcissistic performative "activists", where all the brilliant authors and creators have had their amazing works co-opted and flagellated on the altar of the "progressive" idiocratic cult.

[@Deadeditior]

We're "toxic" because we've had enough of our favourite IPs being cut to shreds, because the activists fee-fee's have been hurt, cuz "There's no one like me on television!" 🙄🤦🏻‍♀This is _why_ fans are like that. But then again we shouldn't be surprised that the Acolyte Shills are loosing their minds over the cancelation of their beloved tv show. If it wasn't so pathetic it would be sad. Kinda. Okay not really. 🤷🏻‍♀ Hearing Tennant say that to that idiot on the red carpet, for me it would be a very easy decision, to make if I happened to have a Film Studio. Blacklist him.

In business, we rated a company based on the maxim, "People vote with their feet." The translation is employees who don't have faith in the higher-ups get a new job.
