A community for progressive issues, social justice and LGBT+ causes in media, gaming, entertainment and tech.

Official replacement for Reddit's r/GamerGhazi

Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

I loved the premise, I loved most of the actors, I loved most of the characters. But, the writing was worse than usual and made both me and my wife, cringe. I’m still sad. It got canceled.

Yeah, sadly. I actually liked The Acolyte and didn't get the hate.

One of the more relaxed channels generously said it was because there was no consistent lore or lore checkers/keepers at Disney for Star Wars.

But I dunno, I think it was mostly racism and other bigotries.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wholeheartedly agree. The worst enemy of Star wars is Star wars fans.

Remember Rose? All of that backlash was pure racism.

No I don't remember Rose, sadly.

What/who is Rose?

Edit: Oh okay I looked up her up to refresh my memory, and yeahhhhh. It's ironic since star wars culuturally appropriated so much in the first place.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She was a sort of side/mainish character in The Last Jedi.

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, managed to look her up, thank you though 🙂
