Don’t worry, they’re all from LFL bots.

No, there is a section of fandom I like to call idiot Hayden fangirls. The ones who obsess over his “tragic” romance with Padme and write slash about him and Obi-Wan. This is why I hate humanity.

There’s a certain type of fangirl that is drawn to horrible people. There are fangirls for the Columbine shooters, the Boston Bombers, and even Ted Bundy.

Are you seriously comparing fans who have an unrequited crush on Hayden to those sorts of deranged people? Hayden seems a nice fellow who more than likely hasn’t harmed a soul.

There may have been a misunderstanding on my part.

Winter does say Hayden here instead of Anakin…

but Hayden didn’t have a tragic romance with Padme, or have anything to do with Obi-Wan. That led me to believe Winter was talking about Anakin.

I’m sure Hayden’s a cool guy, but Anakin wasn’t. Having a crush on Hayden; I understand. Having a crush on Anakin is hybristophilia.

Mesa failen to see how magic crystals are “not Star Wars.”

Adding on to this; mesa take issue with your characterization of Kyber crystals as “magic.” Yousa callen them magic, but really theysa “force” crystals. May seem like semantics, but I think you’re aware that there’s a difference. Mesathinks you’re aware that the force is essentially magic, but you present the crystals as magic crystals rather than force crystals to mislead people. So to rephrase what I originally wrote; mesa failen to see how force crystals are “not Star Wars.”

But not Donald Trump, thank God.

I don’t hate Hayden, and as can be seen in my signature; I think that most of the problems with his performance were the fault of Lucas. I just thought it was strange that he’d be at celebration unless they’re planning on doing something with him. I understand why people would have problems with him being a force ghost in TLJ, but I’m not averse to him appearing as a hologram. I just hope the crowd is kind.

Wow. Okay. Moving right along.

So there’s a saying (I’m too young to know if it’s true) that in 1969, Nixon voters could be found everywhere. In 1974, they were getting scarce. And by 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who’d voted for Nixon.

HA Goodman started an interesting trend. At first, he was just a fairly transparent Republican operative, right? This libertarian Republican who decided to jump right into supporting a Socialist, but rarely actually says very much about his newfound love for those lefty policies–instead he pretty much does nothing but attack the Democratic Party. But “from the left”, get it? Not from the right. Maybe he’ll convince an unsuspecting reporter or voter to think he’s not a Republican, and try to initiate a narrative about the chasm between Bernie and Hillary. You’ve got Goodman’s followers booing Bernie at the convention to, uh, show their love for Bernie (or something, I’m sure it made sense to them). That made some headlines, and it kinda worked for a while, successfully drawing the media’s focus away from the actual lack of any serious split between Bernie and Hillary.

But then something odd happened after the election. He (and others) kept going, he’s still doing his Bernie supporter schtick. And this is what’s interesting about it. Using Goodman’s precedent, Trump voters can pretend to be Bernie supporters, as a means of hiding their shame. Now I’m sure most Trump voters aren’t ashamed, but already there’s this small sad tribe of Trump voters who can’t come out and be honest with the world. Are they, like the disappearing Nixon voters, the wave of the future?

Looks like these ashamed Trump voters pretending to be Bernie supporters

What?
