https://twitter.com/hashtag/BoycottStarWarsVII?src=hash

Originally, the hashtag was about people wanting to boycott the movie for utterly absurd racist reasons, but now all I see on the tag is people making fun of the original movement.

oycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide.

A friend in LA said #StarWarsVII is basically “Deray in Space”. Jewish activist JJ Abrams is an anti-white nut. #BoycottStarWarsVII

SJWs complain about White artists “misappropriating” culture created by blacks but then celebrate a non-White Star Wars. #BoycottStarWarsVII

#BoycottStarWarsVII because white children deserve wholesome movies, not more PC anti-white diversity crap.

boycott me if old, I saw someone asking about it in the other thread so thought might as well

 

[Rebel Leader]

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Isn't almost everyone that's human in the movie white?

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

I feel like this is a 4chan sort of thing where they create the chaos to see what happens.

It's hilarious to see people legitimately using the hashtag because they're that racist.

 

[brandonh83]

Bewildering. At best.

 

[MIMIC]

#BoycottStarWarsVII because white children deserve wholesome movies, not more PC anti-white diversity crap.

"Diversity crap" LMAO

 

[F0rneus]

But...there's two main heroes and one is white...or it doesn't count if it's a woman? Finn is going to be so goddamn badass though. A goddamn lightsaber wielding Stormtrooper. Holy shit.

 

[Platy]

I love how ONE SINGLE BLACK DUDE means that white race is being banished from the world.

It is not even Bechedel Test levels of black dude =P

The only other black actress is playing a cg character

 

[SpaceWolf]

Just to make sure I'm understanding this insanity correctly, these guys think the film is "anti-white" just because it has a prominent black character? As in, it has a character who they believe should have been white, BECAUSE it's a prominent character?

Like...what?

 

[lazygecko]

Same people who boycott Fury Road for being feminist propaganda?

This has to be a troll account.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

perfect

 

[norm9]

Ridiculous. My mouth ajar jar.

 

[Sephzilla]

one and done

 

[akira28]

But...there's two main heroes and one is white...or it doesn't count if it's a woman?

"Men should lead and women should follow, but then the man is black, so you expect us to believe that a white woman could follow a black man?"

 

[Lunar15]

So how many people tweeted the hashtag? We talkin a ton of people or a couple of crazies?

 

[D i Z]

Space Negroes ruin everything.

 

[Boke1879]

I have a feeling John Boyega is going to kill it as Finn.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

 

[Lucius86]

From the other Star Wars thread...

I was about to tweet using that hashtag to say how idiotic and backwards the concept is, but then realised that just increases the trend awareness.

Guess we will be getting this for the next few Star Wars films unfortunately.

One black lead = stupidity. Just shows how much further progress is needed.

 

[DOWN]

vocal minority that we don't want going to the movie anyway. their tweets have been overwhelmed by normal people.

 

[Jacksinthe]

.!

 

[params7]

Ridiculous. My mouth ajar jar.

haha

 

[Future PhaZe]

we just need a finn and rey on scene interracial kiss now

 

[Black Republican]

But the lead is white though

 

[LosDaddie]

I wonder if this "movement" will cited like all the supposed outrage over Elba being Heimdall is cited.

 

[JDSN]

I mean, even in this board there has been tears about this. But this is just three little irrelevant dolts saying racist shit rather than a widespread thing.

I wonder if this "movement" will cited like all the supposed outrage over Elba being Heimdall is cited.

The fact that Elba is constantly brought up as a counter argument when characters get whitewashed speaks loudly of how much that one hurt certain folk.

 

[Slayven]

It cute they thought that was a good idea when Black Twitter is a thing

 

[borghe]

the vast majority of tweets are calling out the idiot bigots. which sadly is causing it to trend way higher than it would have with the 1-3 bigots who started it (likely their goal in the first place)

I can't even find any racist tweets with it. Everything is simply calling it out as stupid.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Damn, my eyes almost rolled out of my head.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

worst trending topic since #IsTaylorSwiftTheNewMichaelJackson

 

[John Kowalski]

Not shocking at all, after the whole Captain America thing.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Booking websites have been taken offline due to unprecedented demand so I think this is going well.

 

[Sanjuro]

Can we test Finn for his midichlorian count to end this once and for all?

 

[bobbychalkers]

 

[Nairume]

I wonder what the overlap between these idiots and the idiots protesting for the return of the old expanded universe (those being the ones who are actively harassing people) looks like.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Same people who boycott Fury Road for being feminist propaganda?

Same people who boycotted the MCU because Heimdall is black.

 

[Sephzilla]

 

[Par Score]

Outrage culture is a made-up non-thing perpetuated by racists, sexists and homophobes, but if it were real, this would be a prime example of it.

Nobody gets quite as outraged as the goobers on the wrong side of the culture war (because they're losing, and we're winning).

Same people who boycott Fury Road for being feminist propaganda?

Of course, and the people who brigaded the Hugos with white supremacist crap, and the Gators, and all the other anti-progressive fucknuckles.

 

[shem935]

Why is this just coming up now? Did it take them 5 months to suddenly realize ".....wait.....that guy.....there's something different about him...."

Dumbasses.

 

[DarkKyo]

Is this for real? Wow. Some sad, sad people out there.

 

[kingocfs]

Why even give this nonsense attention?

 

[jaxpunk]

So like 3 trolls got a trending hashtag, grats internet!

Actually if you look at this thread it almost mirrors the hashtag, just people throwing out random one liners. internet-ception.

 

[Floridian]

I'm amazed we're in 2015 with this kind of ignorance.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

 

[Regulus Tera]

I thought the girl was white?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

No chance this at least started as a real thing.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

So salty

Boyega is a very capable actor

 

[Darth Karja]

A black guy and a woman as the leads of this movie. The world is ending.
