How it started: "It's not made for you"
How it's going: "Wait, why didn't you watch it?!"

[TheGreyPiper]

the acolyte was basically "star wars: a tumblr story", so the psychotic breakdowns after cancellations were to be expected.

The Mary Sue raging into the void -- the schadenfreude is glorious...

[NoYewKnow]

"Who is taught by society to hide her rage".... apparently we have failed a society because it sure aint working.

Not even Steven Seagal would have signed up for this disaster.

When I don't watch a show because its creators expressly say that it isn't intended for the likes of me, why am I then blamed when it crashes and burns?

[Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

The fact that they made a petition to get a season two, and it didn’t even crack 10K

Like Disney is not gonna make a multi million dollar show for a small group of people who don’t really care as much as they love saying they do

[Mangolorian-jeeo]

Dude you absolutely destroyed them. If only logic and reason mattered to ideologues.

[veltealexander]

This idea that you have to see an exact copy of yourself just to enjoy some entertainment is ridiculous.

Never once have I ever "broken down crying" because a TV show was canceled. Get a grip, lady. As a side note, I find it incredibly sexist of them to blame The Acolyte's failure on men. I'm very much a woman, and I too ridiculed it. Because it was dumb.

As a female pre-Disney Star Wars fan who has not and will not ever watch the acolyte, I approve this mansplain.

[Silent_Shadow]

They told us all not to watch....

So we didn't and the ones that did wish they didn't.
There ya go.

[megamanbrandon]

My grandma used to say I don't care what anyone says, this is starwars.

[abrasiveangel]

They kept saying no white male leads and never made one movie or show with a badass straight black male neither. It was just status quo as usual.

I’m a gay male, who has been obsessed with the female characters in Star Wars all my life. I still mainly only seek out Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) and leia(Carrie fisher) merchandise and media. I spent my childhood watching movies and shows with my little sister that traditionally appealed to women. Like Charmed, 13 going on 30, 27 dresses, just like heaven, while you were sleeping, gossip girl, pretty little liars. And ya know what, I couldn’t make it through one episode of this show. My sister, who starting with the prequels has seen almost every Star Wars movie in theaters, didn’t bother even watching at all. My mom who has seen every Star Wars movie in theaters watched one episode and then never went back. None of us watched because the show was poorly done and didn’t appeal to any of what we love(d) about Star Wars. Apparently me, my mom, and my sister are dude bros now.

Gen Z here, please never stop these videos 🙏 Genuinely wonderful, thank you. You bring a sense of class to the discussion that is rare these days. <3

And we can call this "The power of many"

[roachofdoom]

Amazing how Star Wars is either a space wizard movie for kids or a bastion of cultural expression depending on the race and gender of the person complaining about it at the time

"I need a personal mental health week off of work because a show I didn't watch got canceled." 😂
