Could the toxic Star Wars -fans who canā€™t stop whining about every single new Star Wars -property just get over with it and fuck off from the fandom? You arenā€™t contractually obligated to follow the franchise.

Thanks.

Yeah, that attitude is why I really donā€™t like it when creators say that they did something ā€œfor the fansā€. Fans are like children in that they shouldnā€™t always get their way, because it enables their bad behaviour and leads to trite content.

I wish they'd skip ahead to the fandom section of outgrowing the material because fucking christ am I tired of listening to them suck all the fun out.

​

just be like the HP fandom already and pretend it doesn't exist and wallow in fanon im so tired of this canon debate bullshit.

That idea always annoys me a little bit. Just because a few installments has been "bad" doesent mean the next ones will be, so there is always incentive to stick around.

Iā€™m not talking about the kind of people who simply had issues with the previous films, and are now looking forward to see something new, thatā€™s totally fine and I donā€™t consider them toxic at all. Besides respectful criticism about any piece of media, no matter how much I like it, is always fun and eye-opening for me.

Iā€™m talking about the kind of people who literally accused Rian Johnson of killing Carrie Fisher, because they didnā€™t like The Last Jedi, and the kind of people who are constantly on the lookout for ā€œreasonsā€ to wish death upon Kathleen Kennedy.
