Star Wars is a buffet, enjoy the stuff you want, and leave the rest. 😃

Yeah, man!
I never even see much of the ā€œvitriolā€ I read so much about here. Probably because I don’t watch those types of videos, so youtube doesn’t suggest em to me.
But, I suppose that’s easier for me than some as I’ve been out of the mainline fandom since 2001ish, so I’m not watching videos about star wars… I’d probably see more from both sides if I did.
I think it’s important to remember that it’s ok for other people to hate what you love. Don’t let nobody ruin your good stuff. That’s your good stuff. Screw em if they don’t dig it. Create good stuff content. Be a good stuff person. That’s winning. Why waste all your time being a bad stuff person? Complaining about bad stuff. Creating content for bad stuff. Losing.
On the other hand, it can be therapeutic to vent about things you don’t like. I still love the RLM Plinkett reviews of the PT. It was like all my thoughts and feelings nicely laid out and presented creatively by a funny character. But the criticisms were directed at the film making, not at the use of women and humans that aren’t of strictly European decent. Which is, from what I gather, what many of the criticisms of these new films are rooted in. And that’s stupid and ugly.
Did ya read the whole thing? My entire rambling write-up?
Your boy’s been drinkin’.
