Star Wars ‘reeks of misogyny’: SJW satirist punks BBC World Service
Breitbart ^ | April 17, 2015 | Milo

Posted on 05/27/2017 8:37:07 AM PDT by AZLiberty

Listeners of the BBC World Service’s World Have Your Say programme were treated to a bizarre analysis of the Star Wars franchise today by a caller who claimed that “Dark Raider” was a “racial stereotype” who listened to rap music and “the only female character ends up in a gold space bikini chained to a horny space slug.”

Godfrey Elfwick is a student from Sheffield who regularly fools observers with his parody Twitter account, an off-the-deep-end “social justice warrior” persona that tweets bizarrely and hilariously about racism, sexism, misogyny and other favoured topics of the political Left. Elfwick attracted the attention of the BBC World Service today, when he tweeted that he had never seen Star Wars.

A World Service presenter who was producing a segment in the wake of the recently-released trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Awakens took the bait, inviting him onto the programme. Because of course the BBC can’t tell the difference between an outlandish, obviously fake social-justice obsessed parody account and a normal member of the public.

I’ve never actually seen #StarWars but the fact that the bad guy was all black and ate watermelons was unbelievably racist even for the 70’s — Godfrey Elfwick

This is an old article, but somehow the tweets of @GodfreyElfwick came up in my twitter stream today. Couldn't resist sharing.

One of his recent tweets includes this:

I’ll tell you what Star Wars needs more of: Jar Jar Binks. Just make the whole idea about a space Jerry Lewis, running and stumbling and falling down all the time. That’s the future, man.

I assume you’ve seen the “theory” that Jar Jar is, in fact, the greatest Jedi in the Galaxy? Employing a “Drunken Master” school of the Jedi arts?

I hate to pour cold water on this article, but “Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Awakens” is wrong! Star Wars Episode 7 was “The Force Awakens. Episode 8 (or VIII for those in Rome) is subtitled “The Last Jedi”.

Then again, the article is about a fake “SJW”, so getting the titles wrong would probably be in keeping with the whole subject matter.

Well, the prequels did get a lot of success in France after all...

Jar Jar Binks is a genius in France.

Elfwick is hilarious. I somehow ran across his twitters accidentally and at first I thought they were serious. Of course nowadays, what’s the difference between SJWs and parodies of SJWs?

First, you need to read up on the beginnings of Islam. Their so-called prophet did listen to the rabbis and priests of the day. When he came back to Mecca, after being exiled to Medina, he had revelations to which is not the Qurap. In the Qurap, the stories are from the Old and New Testament however, they are with a twist on the ending to suit Islime. One of the biggest talking points a mooslime has with a Christian or Jew is that their religions are so closely related with their so-called prophet being from the line of Ishmael. It was Abraham and Ishmael who came east into the desert and found water in what is today known as Mecca. Now, during their hajj they throw stones at the well, go figure.

The Qurap is filled with storiess from the Bible and the Torah. Why do you think mooslimes don’t eat pork? Because the mooslimes never had pigs? Wrong, because the law isin the Torah (Old Testament). The very fact that Islime claims to be an Abrahamic religion gives cause for consternation. Mooslimes, although its never actually said, believe the Holy books (Torah and the Bible) to be changed books by man. Read the Qurap, tell me who killed in the story of Cain and Able. Yes, that story is in the Qurap. Islamic terrorism was caused by the perversion of the Holy Books. Until people glean this information and run with it, then people will always convert that and them having low self-esteem.

Being uninformed and then telling people islamic terrorists will be saved by the Holy Books when those same terrorists all their lives have been told the Holly Books except the Qurap has been corrupted is like telling a drug addict that weed will cure you of your heroine addiction.
