“Mixed reviews?” Till was pretty universally acclaimed.

“Not to mention this obsession with the past which has left the Saga damaged and the universe stagnant and unsure of its future...”

Man I couldn’t disagree more. Last Jedi opened up a whole new line of possibilities for Star Wars, that there was something other than the light/dark dichotomy and the Jedi way was not infallible. Luke finding his own way to the Force but ultimately becoming one with it (just like Yoda and Obi-Wan) while questioning…

Okay I feel bad picking on this but it’s kind of an example of how vague and unsatisfying arguments about movies can be- how, in and of itself, is a “casino planet subplot” a liability? That’s just a plot element. That’s just a thing that happens in the movie. What makes it a liability to you? What in your eyes made…

I think The Last Jedi is a bad film, but let’s not pretend that the criticism it got upon release was all perfectly valid. Its loudest and most vocal critics were complaining that Rey was a Mary Sue and Tweeting racist shit at Kelly Mary Tran. You can’t complain that valid criticisms were drowned out by ‘woke…

Eh, half the people who comment about it on the internet, maybe.

What’s wrong with calling The Last Jedi a brilliant and beautiful film?

people are the gender they say they are. the more I read and learn about gender, and how historically trans and two spirited people existed in the world for pretty much all of it, and for most of human history were celebrated, the more I realize how limited someone like Rowling is in their views.

It’s media production, and there’s a lot of human labor required for making media that looks professional and consistent. Even going by your asinine amazement that there could be someone whose job it is to heat up the hot tub, while it probably isn’t solely one person’s job, that one person could be maintaining the…

You’re the one babbling. She could have just fired them all and called it a day. In fact, by not doing so, imbeciles have jumped on that as a sign she hasn’t changed her streaming.

So do you just not understand what’s going on right now at all? Do you seriously not get why Garcia and others can’t “do some shit to take care of your citizens”?

I, too, long for the days politicians on the whole would make changes instead of stunting and grandstanding. My history books don’t seem to go back that far, but I’m sure some existed at some point.

He can’t do any work for the citizens because he hasn’t been sworn in yet. The House can’t do any official business -- including swearing in new members — until they pick a speaker.

Should maybe add “JK Rowling has her specifically said that the royalties she gets from stuff make her feel that she’s correct and should continue to act the way she does”.

“just ignore it and it’ll pass over time”

It’s not really “looking for reasons” when Rowling has very publicly made those statements…but this is all spoken like someone who probably has never had to deal with comments like these directed and them. Must be nice. 

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

This is one of those comment sections that should really be set on fire and tossed in a trash can. Possibly along with some of the participants.

And I’ll say it again:
