Man FOHWTBS

What the fuck is Disney supposed to do? Send a mean tweet? This is just to dostract from the fact that no one watched a show that cost over 200 million to make

 

[Inglewood_B]

Show wasn’t even bad, technically… but they sold us a bill of goods about how this was going to be a dark side story and it turned out to be like a CW young adults show in a Star Wars setting. Feel bad for the actors, but yeah… get this shit outta here

 

[RandomOne]

Lol at it's not our trash product it's the fans

So you don't believe they received racist abuse. Like the black actress from Obi Wan Kenobi did

They likely did but that small minority of people doesn't negate the trash product they tried to push out

 

[Infamous114]

"Its ok that they received racist abuse cause the show was trash"

 

[Mr.LV]

Some Star Wars fans are weirdos when it comes to Black people playing roles in recent Star Wars shows and movies

 

[Ironman]

She's not wrong. Star Wars fans, Fanstay/Lord of the ring fans, and comic book fans just check anytime a black person especially or non white guy is added today. These are some of the most hate filled people you'll ever see. It's why John Boyega said fuck Disney forever.

Nah

 

[Chi-Town B]

They was on the racist stuff when those actors was cast way before we knew the show was trash

 

[Infamous114]

Look at how they get defensive when she's speaking about racists within the fanbase. If you're not a racist piece of shit, her comments shouldn't trigger you

 

[TheMadLionsFan]

"Its ok that they received racist abuse cause the show was trash"

Literally no one has said this or alluded to this.

John Boyega said fuck Disney because they ruined his character in The Last Jedi and they actually did bow to the racism in China when they removed him from the promotional art.

‘Star Wars’ China Poster Sparks Controversy After Shrinking John Boyega’s Character

So yeah, no.

 

[Infamous114]

John Boyega has expressed “frustration” with Disney‘s kid-gloves handling of fan protests when he was cast as a “Black Stormtrooper” in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

On one hand, I'm not really sure what they want Disney to do. They're in the same situation as the WNBA. Part of the fanbase has been showing shitty behavior. They've released statements speaking out against it, but what else are they supposed to do. Should they scour social media looking for people saying racist or sexist shit, and ban those people from D+ or Disney produced movies. It's all well and good to say Disney should do more, but there aren't a lot of companies out there that make a point of going at their customer base.

On the other hand, the racist/sexist shit is a problem even for the money side. These shows are being lambasted from the jump. They aren't even able to pick up steam because they are being trashed right out of the gate. The show was amazing, but it had potential. Far worse shows have gone on to do better in subsequent seasons.
