That’s actually true. I think the petition is bs, but what happened to respecting the minorities? If it was the PT people would be fine with it. In fact when it was the PT people here were more than fine with it.
Recently there was a comment in this very thread where someone said we shouldn’t treat PT fans like people. I found that to be very rude and possibly ban worthy. I used to be a PT fan myself when I was younger and several little kids I know are PT fans.
So while we’re at it, how about we stop treating people who like the ST like people? Or stop treating people that like MARVEL movies like people? Or how about stop treating someone with a certain sexuality like people because they are attracted to X instead of the majority’s Y?
I hope I don’t get banned for this, but come on.
Can’t see anything wrong with that post mate.
Also regarding the petition, even the creator himself acknowledges he created it in the heat of the moment while dealing with some heavy personal shit, that given a few days to cool off he wouldn’t have made it and that he doesn’t expect it to accomplish what it states it wants to achieve but he decided to leave it up since it got such a strong reaction and was becoming a rallying point for people to simply voice their displeasure at what RJ and Disney did with TLJ.
It has made it into a number of news articles which usually report on it wrongly but nevertheless it has been noticed out in the wider world and hopefully by Disney so they at least know there is a subset of fans that really abhor the choices made with TLJ.
I don’t believe at this stage that it’s going to have any impact on Disney, only time will tell if further major drop off with Ep9 and reduced merchandise and home release sales actually happen and then what effect that is seen to cause. Merchandise figures are already well down, whether that’s a result of the movies themselves or something else isn’t really known but it will be interesting to see how the home release sales go.
