I’m starting to have second thoughts about wearing a Star Wars shirt in public now for fear I’ll get sucked into that kind of unpleasant conversation with a stranger. Who needs that kind of aggravation?
But how often does this really happen? I think the anonymity and impersonal nature of the internet facilitates a great deal of the toxicity around Star Wars from both sides.
I don’t know anyone in real life who says “chicks ruined Star Wars”, nor do I know anyone who thinks that people who criticize The Last Jedi are all sexist. Maybe I just don’t get out enough.
