they are really going off on a virtue signal spree this morning. here is why they are so obsessed with the alt right and Star Wars, they get their mental marching orders from the corporate access media they worship.
Interesting piece written by the Washington Post. Source

yet another thread about the "tiny minority" of "alt right" who are somehow the only people Era talks about. how JJ "caved to alt right trolls" by putting SW things in a SW movie. Era and the media think the same narratives because for the most part a lot of Era is just reposts of media content, then sheepdogging everyone into either discussing said content or being deplatformed. Era is a corporate media megaphone, essentially.
if you come into a thread like this and say "I didn't like TLJ and I'm not alt right" you will be gaslight, possibly into incriminating yourself that you actually ARE alt right, or hold suspiciously "sympathetic" views. these views being basic things like, you didn't like the movie as much as one of the other 7 movies. you can be deplatformed if you don't accept the limits of the conversation, as dictated by the corporate-leaning OP.
IMO these media types, and their unknowing promoters on message boards who virtue signal, are the real toxic fans. people pointing at others and questioning them and their identity. you see it all these time in these articles, written to influence millions of people, by egotist elitist journalists who use the word "fans" in scare quotes, and either out of malice or obliviousness, only add to the flame wars. IMO it's on purpose, this is most profitable for corporate media.
ultimately it's a meaningless narrative myth that will be an entirely irrelevant and embarrassing historical fact given 5-10 years. it wouldn't even be a thing to anyone who doesn't actively seek out "alt right opinion". except we are stuck w these fucking dorks screaming about the alt right every day. they just don't know how to hide suggestions on Youtube and we all have to hear about it.
a word to SJW culture critics: ok! we get it! right wingers exist! why do we need to go to you for a daily update on their every thought? why if they are a tiny minority who has too much influence, why are you constantly bringing them up, why are you making the entire discussion about them? you are actually making it worse. STFU
