So wait…I was right the first time? This is a safe space thread?
No. Hush.
This is a thread where we discuss toxicity in the Star Wars fanbase, fanbases in general, and by extension society in general. What is wrong with that?
“Safe space” indeed. -.-
I would classify this as a safe-space thread that doesn’t really encourage discussion. We’re really only allowed to discuss “toxicity” as narrowly defined by the original poster, which is fine if that’s what he wants, but makes the thread pretty limited in scope.
OP: “if you are of a mind to take a stand and stick up for the aforementioned people making the movies and the people that like them that ARE being harrassed, then this is the place for it.”
I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with “safe spaces”, but let’s call a spade a spade, shall we?
Suffice it to say, complaining about this thread being a “safe space” feels to me like a complaint about not being given license to be an asshat.
But I have been disappointed by this thread in that it doesn’t let one discuss fan toxicity from any perspective save the one indicated in the OP.
You are of course welcome to create a thread which would address those differing perspectives (or check other previous threads on similar discussions - maybe the ‘Culture, politics, and diversity in Star Wars’ thread or the ‘Let’s talk about Star Wars fans’ thread has/are addressing some of those?)
