Shit, that's what they USED to do, back in the good old days. Now, it's just "WAAAAAH, WAAAAH, WAAAAHHHHH, THERE ARE TOO MANY ASIANS AND LESBIANS AND BLACKS!"

You realize how long it's been since I've seen grown men get to the point of threatening each other's safety, over whether or not the hyperspace drives in Star Wars are more realistic than the warp drive from Star Trek?

I never thought I'd miss that shit, but I miss it.

Also, like, can I remind everyone of the cantina scene, from the first fucking movie? NOTHING about that scene says "these producers and writers don't really buy into the whole concept of diversity,"

Motherfuckers, there were two different kinds of blue alien, aliens with actual butt-faces, a WEREWOLF, some guys with insectoid multi-faceted eyeballs, and a guy with an ultramodernist chair for a fucking head. And the biggest asshole in the place was the fat white guy who didn't like a specific group (droids) and wouldn't let them in his bar.

But now, some of y'all think "wokeness" in Star Wars is some kind of NEW thing?

I kinda hate that I immediately pictured each of those as I read that.

Me too! I did just watch the movie yesterday, but still...
