Just kidding. I'm having a great time.

Rose was great though the casino sequence is my least favorite from the movie.

GREAT fucking question.

It's not so obvious at all. If it were, it wouldn't be happening. Clearly, plenty of people support harassing actors because it keeps fucking happening.

No one on RM.

Ever since I learned about that scene in ep. 2 where jar jar looks directly at the camera as if to say "fuck you, I'm still here" I like him a bit more.

Of course, he pretty much vanished after that, so maybe he just sucks.

Boss Nass

Yes, Boss Nass is way worse than Rose.

Fuck this. If I can't say Rose is a shitty character because it's offensive due to what other people said, then I don't belong in this forum, and this forum shouldn't exist on RM.

The prequels get too much negativity here, but Boss Nass should be deleted from time.

Only one thing left to do: delete the star wars subforum.

And Boss Nass is not worse than rose!

Once again, you can say she's a shitty character, Ruddo. No one is saying you can't say that. It's fine to dislike the character. Especially if you have valid reasons why.

Please god don't delete this forum.

Just trying to understand why this thread, of all threads, set off the toxic masculinity alarm. On RM. LOL.

It's completely, utterly wrong and makes no sense in the context of star wars or outside it. But I'll never cease to be amazed by stip's ability to rationalize his absurd positions.

you are both welcome to refute it by making any kind of point.

I can't stomach pearl jam chat anymore, so all I have left right now is star wars and tournaments.

We need an MCU forum. I could play there all day

I like the MCU films but I don't have much of need to discuss them and rewatch them all the time. I wish I was more passionate about them, if for no other reason that I'd get to interact with you more.

they are largely stocked w great characters and fun stories, but there’s not super sophisticated themes or anything. i love the mcu more than star wars at this point but its not producing any think piece posts from me

The actress who played Rose, Kelly Marie Tran, has been at the sharp end of racist misogynistic body shaming ugly comments in their thousands, daily, since the last Jedi was released. Every picture she put up on her personal social media was attacked by thousands of assholes with horrible ugly racist comments. Three weeks ago it went next level.

The people who organised and still run the gamer gate bullshit, came at her hard. She deleted her social media presence as a result. Everyone from Rian Johnson Mark Hamill James mangold chris McQuarrie and many more, all came out and called the bullshit out against targeting a lovely young lady who happened to be in a film that some ugly bad minded people spent actual time attacking. Her appearance her race her gender on and on.

Simply cos she was in a film and they didn’t like the film and wanted to attack where they could.

You guys dont pay attention to this as much as me. Fair enough. But. This thread being splt off like this. With a header like that. Is exactly what’s been happening to her the past month and it’s exactly what the real and good parts of Star Wars fandom have been fighting back against

Again. You probably still don’t have context. Go look up Kelly Marie Tran on twitter and have a look at what she’s dealing with. Bunch of asshole bad minded wankers making us all look and feel bad and being racist misogynistic cunts.. Cos they didn’t like a movie... a movie made for kids.

It shouldn’t be like this. Ever.

For further context this kind of shit
Drove Jake Lloyd off the rails and gave him an ongoing lifetime of abuse (he was Anakin. He was 9 years old)
Gave Hayden Christensen a similar and often scarier experience and he moved away from America and acting and to a rural town in Canada
And drove Ahmed best who played jar jar to the point of suicide.

First person to make a joke is a cunt.
Anyone in fact

Go fuck yourself burt
