I regret to report that certain people are being racist knobs towards a black actor in Star Wars. Again.
Yep Disney’s doing that thing where they call fans a bunch of “-ism’s” and “-phobe’s” because they criticize one of their characters or movies. All so tiring. Singling out a few trolls that are saying racist things to get a reaction, while the overwhelming response from fans has been about her terrible acting. Has absolutely nothing to do with skin color. The fact they put those articles out beforehand warning Moses Ingram of “racist” comments from fans, tells me they knew the character was bad and going to cause issues, and are now going to use race to shield it from any criticism.
It’d be great if Disney and Lucasfilm would stop intentionally causing riffs in this fandom. I felt the fandom was starting to come together again after the sequel trilogy debacle. But here we go again.
That is a disgusting and wrong-headed take that downplays the amount of terrible comments about Ingram.
It’s not “deflection,” it’s the truth.
