The Coalies Are Back In Town

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

Star Wars usually writes women bad and also if you care more about fictional women being popular than actual real life women being happy/indulging in their hobbies/having a good time then congratulations, you are the misogynist in the situation.

The idea that fictional characters being someones fav are the real metric of I Care About Women ™ and not the existence of a communal event for mostly women being fun and bringing joy to real women is some brainrotting internet damage.

Go to reddit or something where you can jerk off about your waifu being the only Pure, Worthy woman in the world and all real women are cunts who only go for alphas or whatever, sis.

That's not what I said and you know it.

The consistent trend of who is fave heavily favoring (usually cis, usually white) male characters is an example of (transphobic, racist) misogyny in fandom

The fact that no one individual fan is obligated to ~like more ladiez+~ does not mean the trend itself doesn't exist and isn't fucking annoying

Tldr you're deliberately looking at a macro comment with a micro lens in order to start wank it's a seriously juvenile tactic

In that case, why single out Star Wars, though?

Looking at one set of Star Wars noms IS using a micro lens.

Because they’re pressed about how ugly they find Adam Driver.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He really is super ugly.

You’re really suffering.

Just from the memory of his face. His hideous, hideous face.

Your obsession is showing. You'll feel a lot better when you admit to yourself you want to fuck him and you don't even know why. It helped John Oliver.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-11 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I would fuck him if he wore a paper bag on his head.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
And yet he did your mom last night. The world is full of mysteries.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
My mother is dead so this sounds about right.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes all women are into chads and it’s alarming, thanks for the update Zuckerberg.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
lol you're the one trying to start wank, don't front

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
If we're doing this - honestly, why single out Star Wars? There's a Star Wars canon in Yuletide that's full of lesbians, two of them WOC.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
The High Republic books are badly written tho

(Anonymous) 2021-10-10 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
OK, there's at least two SW canons in the tagset that are full of lesbians then, since that's not the one I was thinking of.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
NC

It cracks me up when people complain about the lack of diversity in their canons when they're not even remotely it actually exists. You can dislike it, fine, but the ignorance of whining about something that's not true is just. Congrats, you made no effort and you don't actually care. You're just whining for the sake of whining.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-11 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I've never read them. That's not the one I was talking about.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
What does that have to do with the present discussion?

(Anonymous) 2021-10-11 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
+1 especially as this is a fic exchange. Isn't "the canon sucks and I can do better" half the motivation for a lot of people?
