Is it hard to believe that the black male lead used his minority jedi powers and went

"these aren't the leads you're looking for" when they were looking at the others?

The list of superpowers we have just keeps fucking growing. When's Charles Xavier gonna start sending us invites in the mail?

When sentinels start taking over for cops, probably. Who would be our Apocalypse equivalent?

 

[Sickboy007]

Do the racists know that their precious princess is jewish?

Xavier isn't receiving applications anymore. They got Storm in the team and just don't let any other minorities in there, they met their quota.

I mean I guess Nightcrawler but the X-Men don't feel threatened because he's blue and looks like one of those guys from Avatar and they love that movie.

They down with the chosen people..works out.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The only proper course of action is to have Finn blow Rey's back out and impregnate her with a black seed at some point during the trilogy. Let the hate flow.

 

[JDSN]

At first it looks like JJ is pushing a minority agenda with this movie and of course is pissing of the people who loves their status quo.

Personally I don't like agendas(of any kind) to be pushed in games or movies but still going to see day one midnight because star wars and because I already bought the cosplay.

Well, this puts that "Fabricated controversy" nonsense to rest.

Ben Carson?

I've had people I know tell me that they don't like it, it's very much real.

Imagine the reactions they'll have when we get our reparations.

Just what we need, a druish princess

Nooo SAY IT! lol..

Guys, almost nobody is tweeting this hashtag unironically.

They can all suck Lando's fancy caped dick as far as I'm concerned.

It'll be 2115 and we'll still be waiting for that shit.

[whitemex88]

But black guys that aren't from the U.S of A aren't really black guys. At least that's what I thought

Yes. That was a different cruise ship..

 

[MrHoot]

Wait isn't this whole thing a fabricated hastag/hoax just designed for people to rile on ? I thought this was a non-story

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Yeah, its really a thing. I've heard numerous people complain about it. The same people that are pissed about Idris potentially being the next Bond.

 

[Opto]

Guys, almost nobody is tweeting this hashtag unironically.

So they're being ironically racist? That's just racism with a "no, i'm just kidding" asterisk by it

Ummm..that's just trolling. No need for the R-word..

Some papers iv'e seen basically show this as manufactured outrage for the sake of trolling.

Yeah. Boys will be boys and all that.

 

[zeemumu]

Ben Carson?

Ben Carsah-Nur?

"I am as far beyond Republicans as they are beyond Democrats."

"I am the walls of the eternal border. CRASH AGAINST ME, AND BE BROKEN!"

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Yeah. Boys will be boys and all that.

At least they didn't start singing Duck Tales.

 

[Mindlog]

Did the original trilogy ever show Anakin Skywalker as a white guy, or is it something the prequels did? You could make the argument that the character is still white.

There's a whole Chasing Amy scene about it.

 

[Dennis]

Successful 4chan trolls stay successful I see.

I don't think it's called "trolling" when you actually believe the crux of the message.

Best line from that article:

No reporter would file a story based solely on the deranged ramblings of an anonymous, obviously disturbed person screaming on the street, so why do so many of us continue to do this when it comes to isolated pockets of Twitter users? Group of Assholes Says Something Stupid just isn't a newsworthy story. But, when you can affix that angle to a mention of Star Wars, then it makes more sense. People are hungry for any sort of news about the film, and when you add in the element of outrage, it's an orgy of clicks for everyone, including the inevitable denouement when we get to write shaming anti-reaction-reaction pieces like this one.

So very true.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Just imagine it was a middle eastern actor. But seriously the boycotting is beyond stupid. This is the type of reaction stopping idris playing bond.

 

[stilgar]

No no, people are using it to denounce the people acutally using it (it's not ironic, I made a mistake). But these don't exist.

"The chubby kid" lol..I'm old 😢

Chubby kid? That's Spanky from the Little Rascals.

Now I feel old, too.

Games and movies are the PERFECT place to push agendas, specially ones dealing with equal rights movements.

Anyway, the people at my office where quite amuse by this, to the point of laughter and face-palming.

I find it quite silly. Let the bigots skip the movie, more seats for true fans.

 

[K.Sabot]

Successful 4chan trolls stay successful I see.

They're getting really good at this lately.

Just recently the music board did something similar by digging up a band's old tweet and forwarding it to music blogs, creating instant outrage situation where nearly every big blog picked up on it. They're getting consistently good at it now.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Ben Carsah-Nur?

"I am as far beyond Republicans as they are beyond Democrats."

"I am the walls of the eternal border. CRASH AGAINST ME, AND BE BROKEN!"

Now I need to see Carson's head photoshopped onto Apocalypse lol

"There is no freedom from me. There is only freedom...from that guy over there."

 

[Drazgul]

Finn is going to be so goddamn badass though. A goddamn lightsaber wielding Stormtrooper. Holy shit.

He'll just miss with every swing of the saber thanks to his stormtrooper training.

 

[Hackworth]

Nah mang, he picked blade proficiency back in high school, now he's got the right weapon for it.

They figured out how to use social media as a weapon/delivery mechanism for their trolling. It only going to get more common from here on out.

that kid is in black and white, how do you want me to help you NOT feel old? lol

If you really want to feel old the only little rascals I know were from that movie from the 90s.

They talked about this yesterday on the Daily Show.
