Just so you know, Bounding Into Comics is insanely biased towards the Gamergate “white male nerd rage” side of things, with tons of fake stories about Kathleen Kennedy being fired from Lucasfilm and other fanboy wish fulfillment fantasies. So I would take their spin on events with a massive grain of salt.

In general, I understand why Rian and others involved with TLJ would want to fight back against the absurd spam of personal attacks and death threats aimed at them by losers on the internet. But their reactions were still a bit unprofessional, especially when they ended up associating completely normal TLJ critics with the loser trolls. It feels like the recent controversy with Will Smith slapping Chris Rock: It’s normal to be offended by a poor-taste attack against something personal to you, but responding with an even bigger attack against the attacker doesn’t make you look good.
