I have been reading that a lot of people are boycotting the movie because they say its anti white.
I am not into Star Wars but am curious as to what the general feeling is about this topic. |

I'm also fairly sure that it started out as a "troll" but the "true believers" hopped on the bandwagon with a quickness. If you really boil it down, it's white supremacist nonsense. Some of the initial complaints even use words common to white supremacist movements ("White Genocide"). Oh, and it won't affect the box office haul of the movie...if anything it'll increase it. :P Edit: Marine-73, it's all centered around the #BoycottStarWarsVII hashtag.

I really doubt it.
Anyhow, no one can really answer until we can see the film. Just a post before this thread gets closed. Last edited by Indiana Joe; 10-20-2015 at 09:56 AM.. |

Lousy green-skinned immigants, coming here, teaching us the ways of the Force and rewriting history so they shot first...

There's not ONE single Ewok in the three trailers I've seen! Why are they so anti-Ewok? #Ewoklivesmatter.
Why would it be closed? As long as the discussion remains on topic and doesn't delve into swearing and using antiquated terminology that, in effect, shows a reflection on the lack of intelligence of the person posting, the thread is fine.

It did sound a bit fishy, Indie Jones is right. How can you tell untill you watch the movie?

It's going to be the highest grossing film of all time. I'll bet $5 bucks those clamoring to boycott will be in the theater watching it along with the rest of us, but they'll claim "I wanted to see if I was right."
LOL

Define "a lot."
Men's rights activists boycotted "Mad Max" for being too feminist, but when people looked into it the entire boycott consisted of exactly one guy. I suspect this is similarly being blown out of proportion. OTOH, if there are a bunch of racists out there, fuck 'em. I don't want to go to the theatre with them anyway. |

Sounds like BS to me, just someone seeking attention.
