first they attack Jake Lloyd, a child that did everything he was instructed to do in a moment in his life that should have been exhilarating for a kid, leading him to hit a downward spiral
then they attack Hayden Christensen for his role of Anakin Skywalker so much so that he quits acting completely
next is George Lucas for “ruining their childhoods” enough so that he sells his entire goddamn franchise and goes into the shadows
after is John Boyega, harassing him relentlessly and calling him slurs solely for him being a black lead character in a Star Wars film
then it’s Daisy Ridley for being a lead woman in a Star Wars film, calling her a Mary Sue and attacking her for posting pictures with John Boyega, her best friend, enough to make her leave social media
finally it’s Kelly Marie Tran, a lead Asian woman lead in a Star Wars film; slurs and other harrasments left as comments on her social media so much so that she deletes it all
so yeah, congrats Star Wars fans. you are officially the worst fanbase ever and I hope you’re fucking proud
I know it’s a minority of people who feel this way. I know it. I disagree with some of my friends about Star Wars all the time. But we discuss it calmly, listen to each other’s points, acknowledge that what’s a dealbreaker for some isn’t a dealbreaker for others and move on with our fucking lives.
I know it’s a minority. I know. I know. I know.
But it’s such a fucking VOCAL minority and I wish these people would just sit down, shut up and stop giving the fandom that I have literally been a happy part of for most of my life (I mean that literally: ANH came out when I was four months old) a bad name!
