Yeah this is sort of my reaction.

I didn't think that "laying pipe" was sexist, but I can see how some might see it that way. I don't think every criticism of John Boyega is racist, but there's certainly a lot of people for whom racism absolutely plays a role. It's a reasonable people can disagree situation with wildly unreasonable people involved because it's the internet.

AYRT and yes, I definitely agree with this.

I don't support sexist responses to people, even when I disagree with them. But I also don't support racist responses to people, or responses that are motivated by racism. And this seems like a situation where there's probably some of both happening (I mean, when isn't there some of both happening, honestly?).

But as far as Boyega himself, I'm definitely more on his side than not. I didn't think his comment was awesome and hilarious, but from what I've seen, he's embroiled in a wankstorm that's only ostensibly about him.

da

Then why wasn't his Instagram video clapping back at racist remarks?

I think John Boyega's enjoying the attention, rather than reluctantly involved. He was trending on twitter on NYE. He's now ironically the hero of The Fandom Menace. He's the one who decided to post the video on the same day he was supposed to do the Ben Solo Challenge his friend Joonus Sootamu tagged him in.

People can "clap back" at whatever the fuck they want. What matters is how they clap back. I haven't seen JB say anything misogynistic, or even particularly mean. A video where he quite literally edits himself "brushing off the haters" is not an attack.

Then why did you mention racism?

A video that didn't bother to cover up handles was a cue to some of his followers to attack. JB should know better; he's a SW fan after all.

I have no idea what you're issue even is here, tbh. Go back and read the thread again. Maybe it'll help.
