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?
I think the term “safe space” in this sense is rather derogatory.
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.
I understand that some people genuinely do not like the direction of the new films,or the decisions of those making them , and have some ligitimate criticisms,but this is not the place to heir those concerns , you probably SHOULD start your own topic to express your views
Sounds like the the original poster didn’t want legit criticism here either. So it is not just about not being given license to be an asshat.
Now, if the OP doesn’t want legit criticism here. Fine. But I agree lets call a spade a spade. This is a safe space.
