I commented on a Star Wars forum that I didn't find the Riva character in Obi Wan to be a very good character. Some troll immediate jumped on me and played the racist card.
Are we really not allowed to even express a thought about a character? It's off limits simply because of that character's skin tone? I guess I don't understand the rules of the internet nowadays. For the record - I think Obi Wan is missing the mark on a lot of points. It's only a 5 out of 10 stars show to this point. Not sure what it is... but it kind of feels 'fan fiction'-ish. |

No offense cap, but I have a feeling this is one of those threads that's going to turn into a shit show.

It's probably 'political' discussion anyway... so the powers that be will trash this thread. (nothing political about it though - by definition) |

To be fair, the "keep other forum drama off HT" is probably the rule at play ;)
This SHOULDN'T be a political thing. You had someone being a troll over seemingly nothing. It's the internet, it's going to happen. Problem is that people can't behave themselves regardless the forum and I'm sure somebody is going to politicize this thread over something.

Welcome to 2022. Nowadays its the thing to call someone a racist even though what they said might have nothing to do with being racist. 10 years. I give us 10 years.

I say speak your peace and when the trolls show up don?t engage because they live for it. I understand that it is so hard to hold fire but it isn?t worth it. |

She's being thrown under the bus just like Mark Hammill, except for a different reason. |

So - back on 'topic' (more or less) - what does everyone think of Obi Wan? Am I way off base with not being thrilled by it so far? |

I haven't watched it. Want to but haven't had a chance. I heard people love it and complain about it. Mainly Obi Wan being a softy. I get that though with him coming from being part of something he thought was the strongest force in the universe to now being not so much. On top of that he just killed his best friend and brother (or thought he did), lost another friend, and now is watching the son of said folks. I bet he gets his shit together in the next coming episodes.

Truth. I have definitely learned this over the last five years or so. The internet is not what it used to be... and it's completely not worth the trouble to try to argue back. Say your piece and let it sit.
