As expected, the fake rightwing “fans” of Star Wars are complaining about a black woman villain. And that is what they focus on.
Understand this. Star Wars has always been a progressive franchise. It’s about a group of rebels fighting a fascist Empire. Even the casting of Leia and, later, of Lando, was about progressive inclusion. There is nothing wrong with casting a POC and woman as Reva. So far, this character is doing her job well.
This franchise is not for rightwingers and their usual bigotry.
So, the rightwing “fans” should just leave this board. You are not true fans and you don’t belong here.
I'm right wing- I could care less about Finn being black. I could care less about Reva being black. No bigotry from me. Stop being a racist and stereotyping people just because they don't share your political beliefs.
It's sad because it doesn't have to be that way. People have lost the ability to allow others to have a different opinion. Their belief is that if everyone doesn't share in group think then they are evil. In all honesty THAT type of thought (or lack thereof is) some of THE evilest rhetoric imaginable.
Not eliminated from society. Just from Star Wars boards. Rightwingers and Star Wars don’t belong. Go to Stormfront or Daily Wire with the rest of the racist.
And you also judge movies and shows before seeing them. You call them bad before seeing them. This is not surprising though. After all you think your opinion on a film is a fact. Someone that dumb doesn't know the difference between subjective and objective.
1. How many times do you see a trailer and dismiss a movie or a tv show as garbage? Your pretense that this is not normal behavior is you being a troll boi.
2. You are the one that seems confused about the distinction between fact and subjective opinon.
Dismissing it is different from calling it bad dipshit. A critic has to watch the movie in order to tell you if it's good or bad. Plenty of films have looked good and ended up bad and vice verse.
Nope. I'm not the one who claimed a well received film which was financially successful to be objectively bad. That was you. Black panther by every measurement is not considered a bad film by the majority.
1, When you do that, you have judged it. You are being stupid, to defend your shitty beahvior.
2. Interesting. THere is NOTHING about a film being liked, or making money that means it could not still be a bad film. Hell, McDonalds is hte biggest restaurant chain in the world. By your logic, that means one cannot complain about the food they get there, because it is so successful. LOL. You lefties say the dumbest shit.
Nope. There are plenty of films I don't have interest in seeing. I wouldn't comment on their quality unless I had seen them. You comment on quality before seeing it.
Except... It isn't just financially successful..Jurassic world movies get terrible reception but make loads of money. Black panther got good reception not only by critics but the mass majority of people as well. It passed every test of measurement. See that's the difference. There are plenty of movies I dislike that passed that test as well. You disliking it does not mean it's objectively bad.
2. Correct. My disliking it, does NOT mean that it is objectively bad. It is objectively bad because it has a crappy plot, crappy characters, and bad action.
My dislike is subjective. But we can discuss obectively the deep, deep flaws in teh plot and characters...and action. But mostly plot and characters.
Like I said you are judging it's quality before watching it. You are calling it bad before watching it. I don't do that. You do. I judge if I want to see it or not, not judge it's quality before seeing it.
Your opinion. I think it's well written and the action is fine. See how I don't have to agree with you?
2. People deny objective facts all the time. They can be wrong, they can be liars, they can be stupid. Any or all can explain your behavior. With all due respect.
Correct. However people are allowed to have different views on films. Films are made up of many things. Acting, writing, directing, cinematography, editing, costume design, set design, music, sound, choreography etc. You act as if someone needs to go through you first in order to have an opinion on a film. As it stands the majority of people don't consider Black Panther a bad film. It passed the measurement test. Even if you want to say it isn't as good as people say you can but to say bad? No can't say that. Now I can claim something like last Airbender to be bad and a failure. It fails every measurement test. Black panther doesn't. Also you aren't to be trusted either. You call films to be bad without even watching them.
Watch your boy critical drinker. Since you are incapable of forming your own opinion. That's the type of grifting a feeble mind like yours needs.
You have a profound misunderstanding of what it means to be right wing.
For starters, the conservative/right wing/Republican party has always been the party that opposed racism. The Republican party came into existence in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. Republican president Lincoln freed the slaves. 100 years later, in the 1950s, Republicans fought for a civil rights bill, which the Democrats filibustered and ultimately voted down. In 1964, the next Republican civil rights bill was passed, despite Democrats voting against it. To this day, the American right wing remains the party opposed to racism, while the left sees non-whites as groups of second-class citizens who only exist to be exploited for votes.
As for a fight against fascism, well, think it through? On the scale of left to right, where does fascism lie? To the far left. The extreme end of the right side is anarchy, and a total lack of government. On the far left you have socialism, communism, and fascism, the three versions of total governmental control
The rebels fighting against the fascist empire are the right wingers. They are the ones pushing for freedom, and an end to governmental tyranny and oppressive bureaucracy.
In the 1960s Republicans became the party of white supremacy. It’s called the “southern strategy”. For the last 50 years, white supremacist groups has endorsed the GOP.
Fascism is on the far right. Anarchy is more to the left.
The rebels are leftwing. Lucas himself said they represented the Vietcong.
The party of white supremacy? Fascism on the far right? You're free to believe what you want, but what you write has no connection to reality.
What are right wing beliefs? Individual freedom, and minimal governmental intervention in anyone's lives. The leanest, least intrusive government possible, with the extreme version being complete anarchy. What is fascism? Total governmental control, and a complete lack of individual freedoms. How you can equate those two is beyond me.
For over the last 50 years White Supremacist have supported the GOP. That hasn’t been disputed by you. In 2016, the KKK endorsed Donald Trump. And former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke endorsed Donald Trump in 2020.
So, it is an absolute fact that the GOP is supported by White Supremacists.
Rightwingers support police authority (even their abusive, racist practices), they supported and created the Patriot Act, which took away our freedoms. They supported overseas intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan. They want to bad abortion, which interferes in people’s lives.
So, no, they don’t support less government. They only support less taxes for the rich.
White supremacists are the boogeyman nowadays, aren't they? Have you ever met any? I haven't. There aren't very many of them, but whenever a politician needs shaming, it's suddenly easy to get a bunch of guys together with swastika-covered signs saying "White Power" and "Vote for Trump!" or whoever the current villain is. Do you really fall far that? Do you honestly believe more than a handful of people believe that, let alone publicly stand with a sign? And if you do, do you really think they aren't aware that their support is going to drive voters away? Meanwhile, how much MORE likely is it that the guy holding that sign hates Trump, and is posing with the sign to discredit him? Think things through before you believe what the government/media/your TV tell you.
So no, it is not an absolute fact that white supremacists support the GOP. Who knows who or what they support? They are a tiny, tiny fringe percentage of the population, and obviously lunatics. They most likely support someone with their own beliefs, which I've never heard any Republican espouse.
It's not my party, but I've never encountered anyone or anything racist in connection with the Republican party. It's a myth perpetuated by the Democrats, because lately the easiest way to vilify an opponent is to announce that they're racists.
