There are plenty of intelligent, non-awful people who had valid complaints. I suspect that ... The Hulk of old would have discussed empathy and emphasized that we don't need to have consensus on every movie, rather than setting up a platform for condescension and trolling.

I disagree with those "valid" complaints because they're all gobblegook and I'm writing about why in just that matter. What I'm addressing in the tweet above is the noxious bullshit I've gotten so so so so so so so so so tired of. Don't give me this "hulk of old" stuff.

Because the simple truth is that ugly, disgusting thoughts demand to be treated with civil respect as a method of validation. And I'm not going to give them that.

I've spent the last year having literal nazis come up to be like "talk to me! validate me as your equal!, won't do it eh? well i guess we know who the REAL asshole is." which is just weaponized civility.

You can't have a civil discussion about inherently uncivil ideas.

There were indeed tons of inane arguments against Episode 8, but that doesn't negate that plenty of good people (far-left people in this context) had fair reasons to not love or even dislike the movie.

What is your point with what the hell i said then. Or is it just the ridiculous fear you are getting lumped in with awful people?

A bit of part B, also the fact it's unfortunate that the conversation on SW8 has been ruined by extremes and reactions thereof. That's also true of some other recent blockbusters and so many of us may just check out of fandom.

I saw plenty of normal, sane people love, be lukewarm to, or despise SW8. I think that's interesting but two weeks later we're largely reacting to the 47-minute fan edit.

I literally haven't seen a single reasonable damn argument.

normal sane people and can back up horrendous ideas quite easily without even realizing it.
