One would think that Star Wars is proof of the logical fallacy; if men and women are exactly the same and men loved Star Wars, then women should have loved it, too. Why this woman believes the former and not the latter is a disconnect.

My question to Disney: if you feel that "white males" are passé and the SW films should be tailored for the SJW crowd -- then why haven't all the women & minorities flocked to see them? Shouldn't they have helped make a profit? Or shown support?

Ultimately liberals have no loyalty. They only care about themselves; they will turn on a dime when something else comes along. Their protests are all sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Meanwhile, these clueless studios will continue to alienate their fan base.

Over the years I've made the argument (regarding the defunct Air America Radio Network) that liberals can't make a thriving market on their own; they have to usurp an already thriving market for their own purposes.

With Air America, there was revived talk of the Fairness Doctrine. The Fairness Doctrine was meant not just to stifle conservative talk radio, but to give liberals access to conservative talk radio audiences when they couldn't build an audience of their own.

Imagine if liberals who failed to establish a thriving vegan restaurant then tried to take over a successful steakhouse and replaced all the steak with tofu? Take somebody else's market from them when you can't build your own.

There was nothing stopping writer or producer or director from making up their own fantasy universe of diverse yet relatable characters who overcome epic struggles. Literary history is filled with such stories going back to Beowulf. Why Disney allowed the Star Wars universe to be usurped and corrupted instead of being set aside for what it is, is a mystery.

The four Disney Star Wars have done $4.5 billion in global box office. And that doesn’t count theme parks, licensing, home video and all those other ancillary revenue streams Disney is expert at maximizing. They’re not sweating that Solo has only done $350 million internationally any more than they worried when the first Captain America movie only did that much.

what ever you do there will always be people with SJW attitudes that think they have to change a creative indever to reflect those values because there opinion is superior. they are not true artists for them its always about supporting there ideology not about anything else. If you work on a project you have to make sure that they are seen by everyone there for what they are so they are not given a chance to ruin the project.
