Oh, as a wiseass who I am, I have to tell you, that your lack of precision is disappointing. The problem with the amount of "like" in a sentence is only given, when used as a filler because the brain is to slow to build sentences in advance to the speed of the mouth. So you can hold speeches with a lot of "like" , like when you use it to really compare real things to another. Like I'm comparing Lesley's head to a mashed potatoe. Or when you tell something you like, like I tell you and the whole world that I really like good writing not like that crap, that is coming out of heads like Lesley's. I hope you enjoyed the reading, Like I enjoyed the writing of this text. Have a good one. Good night.

Interesting statement because they can, and they have been in the past, and if you don't believe me go back and look at McCarthyism and the Red Scare. This crop of activists is different though, and the reason your statement is interesting is because it's wrong but I cannot articulate what makes these activists distinct, and at the end of the day it's OUR fault anyways since no one else raised them besides us.

I've stopped watching. I've been in arguments with black nerd groups over it. They asked me to give my honest "legit criticisms", and I do - nothing about the lead being female, nothing about DEI, just all about the writing and plot. And I still get called a self-hating black person who hates women. 🙃 what a world. I'll add - I was told that the actress was being "oppressed", and I argued that "no person who is a lead of a star wars franchise project, makes good money, and is still in work, is being 'oppressed' by 'mean comments' on a social platform". I was responded to by way of saying look at the examples of Kelly Marie Tran and Boyega -- to which I pointed out "How were they oppressed? Kelly simply left twitter, which was a smart move because it's a cesspool, and Boyega himself aired his issues via working with Disney. Both have continued to work, and have had multiple projects immediately after their star wars movies. How are they oppressed? How were their careers impacted when they're still getting work?" It devolved into changing the subject. I'm tired of people trying to defend badly written projects with various types x-isms. I really am. It undermines REAL prejudices, and it cheapens actual diversity and actual inclusivity that takes time to actually build well written narratives. But apparently, people don't care about that - they just want main stream media to sell them slop and call it good. 🤷🏾‍♂

[@Usag1Yoj1mbo]

Be careful. Your comment is too intelligent and might get banned 😅 Well said.

[@DarthBalsamic]

Brother, you're not alone. I'm black myself and have gotten the same treatment on various subjects and issues from blacks as well as anyone of any group that has that sort of worldview and ideology. I'm the worst guy they(black folks and sjw's) can't dismiss because I check all their boxes that should have me agreeing with them, but I agree with nothing they say and can argue against their trash effectively. If it's any consolation, just know that you aren't alone on your view of things. I agreed with everything you've said here, and I'm a legacy, EU SW fan who was done with Disney since the 1st prequel movie with garbage Rey. Acolyte is just fun for roasting with spoiled, race hustling Stenberg, space lesbians, and terrible storytelling for this long deceased franchise. Trust me, this isn't my first rodeo with entertainment critiques with folks, especially black people, who thought I should like something strictly because the actor was black and nothing else. Keep doing your thing. Our skin color doesn't determine what we should think about these things. You should've seen the reaction when I told black folks that Black Panther was mediocre and a filler for the next Avengers movie. They were pissed. They hated me when I critiqued Michael B. Jordan when they race swapped him as Jonny Storm in the garbage Fantastic 4 movie years ago. I could go on and on. They had no answers for my serious critiques so they defaulted to "coon" and all sorts of epithets. Fortunately, I'm seasoned at this so I just laugh and move on. Lol

Exactly. They piss on us and because they have black characters the community is supposed to be like, "thanks for the rain." It's sad seeing my own people be used and abused. Don't forget the oppressed black actress? Her father is a white millionaire.

[@tkps]

I'm often called internally misogynistic by women who do the 'patriarchy' thing when all I'm doing is disagreeing with their takes. We get, like you said, a change of subject or irrelevant off topic 'whatabout', often insults but rarely if ever a cogent argument supporting their claims. I sometimes wonder if such people secretly know what they say doesn't add up but find it easier to go with their crowd. I'd prefer to retain my morals rather than join a crowd because it's easier. I also think our way of seeing the world is how the vast majority do. If it were otherwise these shows would be going gangbusters, yet they fail. Character development and well written storyline/scripts must always come first.

Has anyone noticed in other Star Wars shows, even on Andor there are always shots of the people operating the ships and you can even see the planets thru their windows like what they see. But in Acolyte there are always these quick animations of the ships and instantly goes back in the ship with no view on the outside, even when somebody is in the cockpit the camera angle is from the window point of view showing the pilot.
