SteveMc 2,674 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 31 minutes ago, John said: Kelly Marie Tran, the actress who played Rose in TLJ, recently deleted all her posts from her Instagram account, due to months of harassment and vitriol she has received since the movie's release. Imagine, you're a young actor/actress in your first big movie (a Star Wars movie, of all things), and after the movie's release, you are relentlessly harassed on social media by trolls who are, from what I've seen firsthand, often sexists and racists. I really feel bad for her. No one should ever have to go through something like this. Very, very sad. These "trolls" are just as flaky as the supposed snowflakes they claim to despise. Parasites.

I personally think of myself as a peaceful fan who likes relatively every movie to come out of the franchise, at least until 2022. After that, I might stop. These trolls are not true fans. They're just horrible people trashing the movies, their executives, and the actors. Strange how Tran didn't decide what Rose would do and people are blaming her. I didn't quite like her character but harassing Tran is plain nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,689 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Harassing people online like that just flat out sucks. It's fine to have issues with what Disney is doing with Star Wars. It's even fine to be annoyed because you think they're pushing a political agenda. But to hound someone off social media with hate and vitriol is way, way past the red line. We're trying to have a society here. Words can't quite describe how much I loathe social media mobs. Docteur Qui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I meant interesting to normal average people, not just for the very specific geek subset you love, for example. If you only talk about your favourite anime waifu and your audio setup on the first date while wearing dirty unfitting clothes, I don't think you have much of a right to call the girl a bitch for not wanting a second date.

It reminds me of when the Australian government was rolling out its carbon tax scheme, and people from certain tax brackets and marital status would receive annual returns. Turned out singles in no way benefited from the carbon tax's redistribution (even though they were the ones most likely to vote Labor or Greens), but "working families" would receive a shit load. Talk about vote grabs. It's like on The Simpsons when Milhouse's mother leaves his dad, and the next day he gets the sack from work and his boss says "Kirk, crackers are a family food for happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without." Docteur Qui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattris 416 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 3 hours ago, Demodex said: I hope Mattress is proud of his little rebellion. What fucking losers. The buck stops with Kathleen Kennedy, who decides what films are green-lit and approves of a story/script before a film goes into production. Considering the films that have come out under her reign - and their reception, she obviously doesn't want (or even have a clue) of what will please the fans... and make the most money. As the first movie, a safe reboot (A New Hope clone) with likable characters, The Force Awakens was going to be a hit regarless. Fine. Rogue One (an entertaining, passable film) had too many (thinly written) characters, but they were diverse! The Last Jedi divided the fandom. Many fans will never forgive her for that... or ever watch a Rian Johnson film again - certainly not more Star Wars films directed by him... that strategically announced immediately before TLJ was released. The upset fans are proud. Admittedly, we didn't expect to make this much of difference. But we now know how important we are to this franchise. Our interest and money should not be taken for granted. I don't care if Solo is a watchable action movie with the Star Wars licence. It does not do Han Solo's character justice - the movie's most important job. And to make matters worse, it was produced and released after Han Solo had been killed in a previous film. After the insult that was The Last Jedi, upset fans refused to see Solo, which will result in its financial loss. Money speaks. We'll see what happens. For Disney (who's stock has taken a hit over Solo's failure, which might affect their acquisition of Fox), the only logical action to take is to fire Kathleen Kennedy or ask her to step down as soon as possible. Then with a clean slate, trust can be re-built. On 01/06/2018 at 7:51 PM, Demodex said: So women are thin characters? It didn't seem forced to me. It was refreshing to get something different.
