what?

that’s not at all what i was saying. i never said people were trolling, jeez. no need to go full defensive mode.

in fact, i said i think spreading positivity and love is a great thing and i fully support it and i’m usually glad to know someone loved tlj.

BUT

on a number of occasions, the wording of the phrase and how people thst disagree with the shared opinion are treated lead me to believe that the person posted it because they love the film, yes, but with that extra grain of salt to tease and annoy haters.

agreed that henderson isn’t “at it” in most games if you compare it to neymar, and that’s why the “double standard” is ok, but i do believe neymar is overly criticized.

poor choice of words by me, i agree, so i’m sorry for that, but it seems to me that Henderson exaggerated a lot on that specific headbutt play, much like Neymar when the mexican guy who i can’t recall the name right now literally stepped on his bad and recovering ankle. i bet that hurt a lot. of course he acted out a much worse pain than the one he was actually feeling, but that specific guy deserved a red card for all he did to him that game, so i think that that’s one of the reasons for the exaggeration.

wednesday’s game was the first brazil game where Neymar left the field with his socks all in one piece. so yeah, while he exaggerates wayy to much and is heavily criticized by it, i think the press and people in general are way too harsh on him, because most defensive players that play against him tend to always beat the crap out of him. at least in the World Cup that’s how it’s been.

now, maguire… i’ll see if i can find his play.

i was under the impression that yesterday’s game’s referee was terrible. what did you think?

edit: just rewatched the maguire play, and right after it he immediately said that it wasn’t a penalty, so my bad.

i am not sure how else to describe this, so i am sorry for using such terrible terms, but i feel like there are both "smarter’ and “stupidier” people on both sides of the TLJ spectrum - putting it in black and white - people that HATE it and people that LOVE it.

with stupidier, i mean people that are going to act like little kids and basically “yell” at you for your opinion and name call you etc. with “smarter” i usually mean mature adults with fair and well structured arguments.

and while i feel that the stupidier, dumber part of the people that hated TLJ have still been very vocal recently, with “remake TLJ!” projects and everything, it seems to me that the calmer and smarter part of the fandom that didn’t like it hasn’t been as vocal recently. around a week ago discussions here “begun again”, but before that we were on a hiatus for some good 4-5 months. and during that time period, comments criticizing the film were pretty rare, not only here at OT.com, but also out there on the internet.

and during these 4-5 months, it appears to me that those that LOVED TLJ kept talking about how much they loved it. and while that’s great and i’m happy people are spreading happiness and positivity, it seems that several of those comments were written simply to tease us that didn’t like it. for example, every other day i see a tweet from one of those smart people on twitter saying that they LOVED TLJ. but they don’t say it just for saying it - at least that’s not what it appears to be - like i said, they seem to be saying it to piss those that didn’t like it off.

their tweets aren’t things like “I loved The Last Jedi!”, they tend to be stuff like “The Last Jedi is one of the best Star Wars movies ever.” and stuff like that. they seem to be stating that as fact. and more often than not, some people respectfully disagree on the comments for one of those tweets, only to be attacked or told never anymore to return to the fanbase, that we’re better off without them.

it gets pretty annoying, and i think that this type of attitude from people that loved TLJ only inspire those stupidier fans to spread hate. because it IS absolutely annoying and irritating to read that you’re wrong all the time simply for not liking a movie, and then be associated with sexists and white supremacists simply because you share the people on those groups’ opinions on one bloody movie.

i’m far from a SJW, but i consider myself almost an alt-leftist. and i’ve been treated before as an alt-right guy simply because i hate Rey’s character, for example. they claim i hate women. how stupid is that?

this is just to show that TLJ lovers are also very, very toxic. and that they apparently love to tease us, and that that sort of stuff sparks hate that makes things like what happened to Kelly Marie Tran happen.

this is a math equation.

and don’t try to compare this specific aspect to TESB, where leia and han lose the empire relatively soon in the movie and just have to find a safe place to hide for the rest of the film. not run, hide. so no math was needed. TLJ, however…

but the ‘premise’ in TLJ is still the same as the one in TESB - it’s a slightly different version of this part of TESB’s plot.
