Lol thanks for reminding me why I love Star Wars but always avoid the communities and fans at every possible cost 👍

    Well I’m sorry to inform you but this was 100% the last one. It doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s OT, PT or ST. The Star Wars fandom is remarkably toxic and I’m just kind of tired of it. I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation with a Star Wars fan that didn’t end up just them screaming about how Disney is horrible and the Sequels are a war crime and the Prequels were stupid until they weren’t and the OT was picture perfect. Every single time someone brings up anything new in Star Wars it devolves into a bitchfit. Look at this meme. The only thing it’s saying is that if you’re going to complain about the Sequels then focus on stuff that actually happened and not stuff that people invented just because they were upset that their movie didn’t go the way they wanted. What’s the comments? Exactly that. Whiny and pathetic children who are more happy to invent their own reality about how everything is awful than just cope with the fact that not everything is going to be great and not everything is going to be the way that they want it.

    I started posting memes to this community on my other account months ago and had the exact same realization then. For some stupid reason a couple of weeks ago I thought “Hey, it can’t be that bad.” Nah. It was. That and the fact that the like 6 moderators here do literally nothing. Comments and posts are removed automatically because of a low score and then no mod interacts it ever. Shits being removed simply because “it was reported”. This entire community is a dumpster fire of the highest fucking proportions. Feels appropriate.

    I am absolutely embarrassed to call myself a fan of Star Wars because I have to get thrown in with these pathetic losers. And this is why you’ll never see me talking about Star Wars again despite being about as big a fan of it as I am Star Trek.
