Conservative Ben Shapiro Speaks Out Against Kennedy

He said Kennedy is more toxic than the fans.

"“‘The Force Awakens’ is garbage; ‘The Last Jedi’ is double-garbage. That’s because Kennedy had two choices upon being granted the helm of the Star Wars universe: (1) fast-forward fifty years, beyond the original characters, and reboot, losing the nostalgia of the original characters but gaining freshness; (2) recast the original characters and pick up where Return of the Jedi left off. Instead, in fully risk averse fashion, she chose door (3): leech off the nostalgia while introducing new characters a few years in the future.”

“This led her to the idiotic decision to murder off all the original beloved characters in increasingly stupid fashion — and then to the doubly idiotic decision to go back and create new movies around those now-dead characters,” he continued. “She pissed off all of us who grew up on ‘Star Wars,’ and in doing so, destroyed whatever good will existed among us for the newer batch of characters.”

A man with a Breitbart pedigree: Posting any rant written by Shapiro is basically admitting you're a misogynistic, racist alt-right Nazi.

So if you're NOT, just keep that in mind.

Yes, all my favorite Nazis are Jews. Thanks for providing such a perfect example of the hollowness of the “Nazi” slur.

Why would you link to rationalwiki unless you are trying to fight bias with even more aggressive bias? Rationalwiki is a Secular Humanism cult. They believe humans are a disease and need to be wiped out. Do you care if Shapiro hates blacks women and Jews?

I thought they were Islamists. They sure throw "Islamophobia" out a lot.

Hahaha all 3 of those labels no longer carry any weight when you consider how much they are thrown around :).

It is also strange how someone can be labelled as such for basically just sharing statistics with people publicly... ?

[–] Frogarama (12942) 6 years ago

Yeah, I was having fun with the labels =)

Not sure what you mean about sharing statistics, though. The article is a reply to some other article, which was cherry-picked in order to give Ben an angle for his own opinion.

Of course, he's just parroting all the anti-Kennedy stuff he's been reading.

What I don't get is why the negative people think they speak for ALL the fans. Even Ben does it, the haters on these boards do it. They really think they can represent everyone else.

Some fans agree, some don't.

True for pretty much everything I guess.

The only people who call others "alt-right" are Liberal Fascists like you.

Citing RationalWiki is like citing Karl Marx, Greenpeas, CNN, Al Jazeera, and Salon all at once. Proves you're raving lunatic.

[–] Kingswood (1231) 6 years ago

Exactly!

"alt-right" is code for "racist" ...which as we know is the standard nuclear option for liberals when losing a debate to anyone.
