  • Why aren’t we hearing this about Andor? It seems like there’s only ever controversy around bad films that have marketed themselves as being diverse while never for films that are just diverse.

    The article you linked says that the negative reception to wards the Acolyte “…can be seen as part of a wider pattern of resistance to diversity in media.” While speaking about specific cases in other films but not in the Acolyte. They are trying to make it sound like any form of negative criticism is linked to bigotry. It’s like they’re using racism and misogyny as a scapegoat.

    I struggle to understand how some racist comments online can stop a movie or show from being popular with the masses? Where are all the “real Star Wars fans” that apparently support these shows? Most people don’t follow our care about online controversy.




  • Are we really still pushing this narrative in late 2025? Andor is a modern star wars show that has diverse characters and a queen relationship and had little to no backlash because of it. Just because you like an objectively bad show doesn’t mean that everyone else that didn’t like it are suddenly racist/ sexist/ misogynistic/ whatever other term you have for trying to justify why you like the show.

    You are allowed to like bad content, I don’t think there’s a single person out there that doesn’t have at least one thing that they know is bad but still enjoy the only difference is that they’re not angry at other people for not liking it too.
