Everyone knows how rabidly reactionary and shitheaded the SW fandom became after the Disney acquisition but I’m finally at my breaking point with this latest wave of chud whining. The Acolyte got review bombed before it even aired because the showrunner is a lesbian and the leading actress is a gay enby. Also a clip of Stenberg from like 6 years ago made the rounds where she says the goal of a completely different project she was working on was to make white men cry and chuds who get all their news from youtubers thought she was talking about the Acolyte.
Fast forward to the show’s release, the chuds continue to whine about woke Star Wars despite the show’s first several episodes being pretty bland and mid in every regard. To disguise their actual reasons for hating the show (diverse cast and queer showrunner) they pull out the absolute most ridiculous reasons to bash it, including but not limited to:
-
“The writing is awful and the story sucks!” (the dialogue is genuinely quite bad at times but no worse than 95% of star wars projects. The general story is a mystery-thriller that’s compelling enough. Also these same people turn around and say the prequels are incredible so
) -
“The show contracts and ruins the prequels!” alright time to put on my nerd cap because the media literacy of these fucking shitbags is nonexistent. “Dark side user” =/= Sith, Red-lightsaber-user =/= Sith, there are tons of darkside users in the galaxy but the Sith area very specific order that the jedi warred with for thousands of years before they were almost completely wiped out. Also half the point of the prequels was to show the Jedi are blinded by their hubris and waning connection to the force, the Sith were right under their nose the entire time and they were just too arrogant to see it, silly Darth Teeth man doesn’t ruin shit in your dog ass shit fuck childrens movies.
-
“The show RETCONS CANON in an UNACCEPTABLE WAY” this is because a prequel side character’s DOB was retconned and he’s a lot older now and appears in the show. These worthless fucks are sending death threats to Wookiepedia editors who change the character’s DOB and screaming that it’s vile yes that’s right it’s VILE to change a fictional background character’s birthday. Just take a look at the replies on that post, yes I know it’s the bird hellsite filled with ragebait but the responses like “oh well I thought that GATEKEEPING was a BAD THING
” are just so bleak. Art and media mean nothing to these people, their hobby is not watching Star Wars, its watching ragebait youtubers and getting violently angry about mundane things in shows they’ve never watched and aren’t interested in 
Also these screaming manbabies keep referencing non-canon books and shit as “proof” of the show retconning things
The discourse around TLJ was bad but I think I’m finally done engaging with the SW fandom in any way shape or form. My brain has finally been broken by the chuds. I don’t think I’ll even tell people I like SW anymore because these shitbrains have just ruined it. And yes I know I need to 
but if you don’t spend a decent amount of time in these SW fandom circles I promise you don’t know how bad it actually is

From what I know about the show, the writing is bad (most of SW writing seems bad, both from before and after Disney takeover), and it does not work with the prequels (in particular, the whole ‘another potential chosen one’ stuff that is not at all brought up in the prequels by any of the people who were on the Jedi council during the relevant eras).
Given the awful quality of writing in SW in general, I don’t think that anybody should have high hopes for things getting better, and people should massively temper their expectations for Andor S2 as well.
They never use the phrase “the chosen one” in the show or even allude to the prophecy so idk how this became a talking point, the only reference they make is that the twins were conceived through the help of the force in some capacity but that doesn’t invalidate Anakin’s “specialness” or whatever at all.
Also, considering how things are likely to go, the Sith will probably reveal themselves even more explicitly, making the incredulity of the Jedi council over their resurgence nonsensical.
Sure. But Qui-Gon thought that Anakin was the chosen one due to the same things that apply to the relevant protagonist of Acolyte.
The problem isn’t that Anakin is not necessarily ‘special’. The problem is that the council had issues with admitting both into the order, for the same reasons, and this past failed apprenticeship shown in Acolyte is never mentioned when Qui-Gon pushes for the admittance of Anakin, despite the significant similarities between the cases, and despite the fact that a portion of the council is shared in both eras.
