"Wait, the fascists tries to rape women? What has happened to this show? I liked it when the fascists were just torturing women and destroying whole planets."

Palpatine being Rey’s grandfather was entirely above board apparently

I've come to realize that anyone who uses the R word doesn't deserve any attention, hate language is hate language

Star Wars has always been truthier than Star Trek.

About that...

Yea. star trek envisioned a future where it got better. Star Wars knows it won’t.

But can we trust a seller of dodgy copper?

Slander. My copper is of the highest quality despite what you may have heard.

We've been improving things, but the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

He does understand this was probably film a year ago and written even further back. Just because it seems super relevant now doesn’t mean it hasn’t always been.

Yeah, the themes of Star Wars are always relevant, which is why it is such a great story.

they haven't really stopped being relevant funnily enough

He ... ?

She.

and these are the people that can't use the real words for actual harms that happen, but can use slurs? they're always despicable.

using slurs on the racism app is the new meta

Right? So tired of that shit. ITS RAPE. Fucking RAPE. Ya fucking children. Fucking words. 🤬

I get warnings on Instagram and threads when I use the word rape. I had to remove two posts or have my account suspended.

And what you just said is what I had to explain to someone else on Facebook recently. Meta is notorious for censorship of the word rape, especially when used by accounts that identify as women.

Just dumb. Yeah, let’s NOT talk about something that needs to be discussed like adults….by literally hiding from words. Ridiculous

because Zuck is pro-rape

Facebook threatened to close my account because I used the word rape. Rape happens every day in every city and we're not supposed to use the word because?

It’s ridiculous.

What is with people so flippantly using the word r***** or r******* lately, I’m seeing it more and more, it’s so gross.

it's become politicized

I agree but I’ve also seen left and right leaning people using it

well maybe, but I'm of the opinion that a good portions of the most vocal and abrasive left leaning people aren't. if they talk like a duck...

Yeah good point

Ah yes, Star Wars a famously violence-free franchise. And of course there's absolutely nothing else in Andor about injustice and exploitation.

When we watch star wars we just don't want to be reminded that we are rapidly turning into the evil empire

Never would have expected anything like that in a universe that contains literal stormtroopers or casually slaughters children.

Men in power, particuarly in military organisations have NEV.. oh, WAIT

She doesn’t think that future men in power will accuse women of being illegal? And use the illegal status of any woman to 🍇 her? Knowing she can’t report? What does she think is happening right now, here? P.S. When abortion was illegal, abortionists would 🍇 women before giving them an abortion.

Damn can't Bix catch a break?

She's quite handy with a hammer, though.

The definition of putting a spanner in the works!

The pick me Force is strong in that one.

I honestly think these dudes just get triggered because they are forced to identify with the baddies BECAUSE THEY THINK LIKE THE BADDIES. Instead of self-reflection (lmao, imagine if mediocre men could do this), they just lash out at whatever is making them feel feelings.

wow, turns out fascists are bad! this is the first I'm hearing of this.

These guys genuinely think they're the rebels and not the empire.

I guess she never quite understood what was wrong with the empire

So a franchise that fights Space Nazis, decides to make a more realistic dark story line and all of a sudden people think they are being ‘woke’. Andor is fighting for the resistance, and what better way than resisting things that happen in the real world but set it there so it is fiction.

It's like they didn't watch the first season. Were they expecting a new hope?

what would they rather a story about lame arse space wizards!?!?

some people watch star wars purely for the backflips and laser swords and stuff like that i watch it because i want to make a list of every named clone death to put in my terraria graveyard, rest in peace to the boys who didn't have to shoot their friends because grandpa senate was off his rocker

Pretty much what Ice does to the poor children & women they have caged worse than animals.

I love the sound of the comfortable being afflicted.

To say nothing of Episode 1...

Poor star wars girl is in for a rude awakening when she learns what facists did to immigrants.

(unrelated) Pistons gonna win and Tigers gonna complete the sweep tomorrow.

Is she a pick me...

Star Wars predicted Harvey Weinstein

Actual things happening in the world don't belong in a show about rising against the kind of things happening in the world? These people know that it is art imitating life, right?
