A 2018 interview with Trevor Noah went viral on social media. In the interview, Stenberg said that “white people crying actually was the goal” of The Hate U Give, a film about the aftermath of a Black teenager’s murder by a police officer. Of course, sci-fi fans don't need any excuse to do racism, especially

The fact that she's still getting racist hate like ugh, people. Like it doesn't become any less hurtful just bc she's been in the game for years.

That being said, she could be a great music producer.

her playing violin solo of john williams star wars score was so dope. i forgot about watching the acolyte.

the hate u give was a very cookie cutter movie on race so thats funny. ill always remember that fried chicken sabrina carpenter scene.

out of all the awful fandoms, SW might actually be the worst

[lanrek]

it absolutely is

unfortunately, it's also the most hijacked fandom by youtubers looking to make bank on incel feelings. some of the loudest critics of star wars aren't even star wars fans, they just know what will get clicks

not sure what it is about star wars in particular but it seems to be the easiest fandom to rile up when it comes to diversity of any kind. maybe because it's one of the oldest fandoms? idk

ive said this a billion times but ill never get over the irony of incels/red pill ppl completely blowing off the themes of star wars. theres even wikipedia sections dedicated TO the nazi parallels!

i always think of the ending of andor, when theres that long monologue about tyranny and the power within the people

[smilla_sini]

Well, also ironically most of the biggest incel segments of the fandom are huge andor (specifically luthen) stans, go figure

i hate all these stupid white dudes that won’t accept the fact star wars isn’t just for them anymore. it’s 2024!!! adapt or die, you racist losers!!!

I feel for her deeply. She’s been dealing w/ racism in fandoms since she was a kid. It was scary to see the amount of ppl plainly state they didn’t find Rue’s death sad in the Hunger Games movie bc she was black. There’s a lot of rly sick ppl in the world

[evilyn_1007]

That's the first thing I thought about. I know I shouldn't haven't have been shocked but the amount of people who said that really did shock me.

[hennimore]

Idk man… there was something about being a little black girl and hearing seemingly normal white ppl just say “it’s less sad because she’s black”… just casual, everyday trauma lol

[pi_lady]

I can't imagine being saddened by her death scene in the book and then not being heartbroken in the movie bc she's black.

Racist book fans also proved that they have no reading comprehension skills since the book described her as having dark brown skin.
