Where did that happen? Because all I saw were people who liked TLJ(most of whom are self-professed older Star Wars fans) being told that they didn’t actually like it, they just enjoyed seeing real old Star Wars fans despair at having their favorite franchise be ruined. And they also basically said that the director was some kind of evil sociopath.

Like, anything is possible, and maybe you can point to a different thread where what you’re talking about happened. But the most recent discourse I’ve seen here was several fans who like TLJ, including Philstar, being attacked and accused of having sinister ulterior motives for liking a movie. Probably by one specific anon with a chip on their shoulder.

Yes, yes, those who liked TLJ never saw anyone who liked TLJ behaving badly at all. You're the victims, of course.

I’ve never seen TLJ, and I’m not really that into Star Wars. I was just recounting the most recent TLJ related discourse I saw here. And I literally never said that there weren’t people who liked TLJ that are assholes.

But now I know all you have so far is defensive and dismissive “comebacks” and accusations. That speaks to how good faith your arguments actually are. Which is funny, because you’ve accused someone else of acting in bad faith just for asking for sources for your argument. I’m not even saying I don’t believe you that what you’re talking about has happened on F!S, especially if you weren’t talking about the most recent heated discussion of the movie. But being a prick to everyone who has anything but automatic agreement isn’t the way to go about painting yourself as any better than the people who made you feel unwelcome in this community.

But in the end, do you actually believe that everyone who likes this one movie wants to “push older fans out of the fandom”? Or is that just an exaggeration of the moment? Because like I said, several people insulted just for saying they like the movie are old fans. It’s pretty obvious that the group you’re referring to would be a vocal minority just like most jerks in fandom. Not everyone who dislikes TLJ would be a jerk either.

The fuck, Why should I, you, or anyone else be responsible for the actions of some random groups of fans or monitor their behaviour...? Once fandom is big enough the asshole fractions will po up on all sides - why are we pretending they represent those sides all of a sudden?

Go, TLJ discourse is so exhuasting. I liked some parts of it a lot and had issues with some parts of it, but it's getting hard to discuss any of it online without someone coming in with their projections and baggage...

Yup! I remember that troll.
