I gotta say, this Parler twist is making me laugh out loud. Wow.
I dunno, it should never be funny when something like that turns up, mostly just disappointing. Or alarming, depending on how dangerous you consider it.
But also, taking things a step further by having donations fund a fan project is a bad idea. You can argue what is and isn’t transformative all you like, but ultimately they ARE using a copyrighted intellectual property and taking money to make something with it, and in this corporate plutocracy, if Disney sends a DMCA, that’s it.
Worse, it would set a precedent for removing all sorts of fanworks, since those are using that same property. Doesn’t matter if they’re free. We see this with Nintendo all the time, and their lawyers are bad enough. You think Disney’s are gonna be better?
So yeah, even removing the political aspect (which, to be clear, you shouldn’t remove that aspect), there’s no way they aren’t some kind of threat to the community.
Anyway, hello everyone! I made an account just to follow this edit, especially the development of Rey Nobody. I think TROS is one of the bigger fixer-uppers in the franchise and I’ve loved seeing what’s been done with it.
EDIT: wait. why does my name have an N at the end instead of a D?
