Feminism in Star Wars: Can We Stop Please?

It's no secret that feminism has invaded every aspect of entertainment industry, from the executive branch to the actors and writers. But Star Wars has maybe the worst form of feminism. From using Star Wars as a medium to denounce creativity, heroism, responsibility and morality, all in the name of representation, diversity and feminism, I just have to ask...can we stop please?

I'm so tired of seeing basically the same female character in every new show, the same toxic feminism in each and every girl boss that I am being force fed.

Join me in this video as we discuss the ways in which feminism has ruined Star Wars and where exactly we go from here.

Privileged actresses who don't work regular day jobs complaining about how oppressed they are is the definition of modern day feminism.

Kathleen Kennedy and all who sail with her are consumed with spite. That's the dominant emotion behind all of the projects. Hatred of men. Hatred of the original fanbase. A desire to censure the male imagination. These are very sick people. The fact that it gets worse over time makes me think they are doing it on purpose. It's like they receive the criticism of the male fans as confirmation that they are doing it right and then they lean even harder into those very things they are criticized for. They have enough money to hire the best writers, the best actors, and best directors but they don't want to. They are trying to destroy it, not elevate it.

There's nothing more ironic about modern entertainment than the fact the supposedly misogynistic men of old Hollywood make infinitely better female characters than feminist women.

Only the best storytellers can make a story universal for all mankind. Just look at Godzilla Minus One. It has a character that is so relatable for many people, even though his environment and situation are not something most people have experienced. In contrast, Disney’s Star Wars has characters that lack universal relatability and nuance.

i miss when being a nerd was earned and looked down upon. i miss the days where we could gatekeep these weirdos and if you met a girl into a fandom... you knew she was real and not wearing a shirt cos she thought it was cute.

They're never gonna stop. Only thing you can do is stop watching.

Star Wars died for me the moment Rey was showing up Han Solo in his own ship.

Star Wars is a zombie franchise now

I was thinking of re-watching Firefly to remember those good old days. When you could have a diverse cast of amazing characters without the woke nonsense ruining everything

it's sociopathic. sociopaths take good reasons, viable/worthwhile causes... and use them like a club for their own ends.... and once those causes are ruined, they move on to the next one.

Agreed. This new woke third wave feminism really ruins things by focusing only on divisive toxic identity politics and it negatively affects women who have no alignment with it. I am currently reading the Han Solo trilogy from the EU and it's written by a woman named Crispin and it's amazing. Thank goodness it came out when it did in the 90s because back then, none of this toxic feminism was prominent

It is interesting to watch a teenage male power fantasy that was tempered by good-vs-evil be turned into an adult female power fantasy where everything must be gray and morally corrupted.

Can WE stop? Yes.

Can THEY stop? NOPERS.

"There is no good or evil. Just power."
The entire philosophy in 8 words.

Men aren't allowed to be knights anymore.... This is why I've been watching more Anime. Just started Ranking of Kings and I love the Queen Step Mother on that show. She is a fireball of passion and love. Leave it to the Japanese to know how to write compelling characters and understand there are a million ways to show strong females without bringing down others.

It is no surprise that movie makers today want to eliminate heroism, sacrifice, morality, and overcoming obstacles in their trash productions. This is the “bold, brave, stunning new direction” Hollywood is pursuing, based on collective efforts, collective heroism. Women collectively are heroic and men collectively are schmucks. This is their world view. This is the direction they want for all humanity. And they make movies and tv shows that reflect that view, wishing the next generation to adopt these precepts. That’s why money no longer matters. There is always more funding. Their POLITICS are paramount and their works serve their politics, overriding any fiduciary considerations. As long as crooked creditors demand and fund this garbage, it will continue, no matter how much is lost, no matter how many lives they damage.

So right. My 15 year old grand daughter doesn't like characters like Rey or Captain Marvel because she says they don't have to learn anything. They don't grow.

I so look forward to your videos! You are doing an awesome job of treating these subjects clearly and intelligently.

[marchitn]

Always love your content. The Leadership vs Heroism commentary was wonderful. Cheers dear lady :)

Great video! This is literally the problem killing Star Wars (and most entertainment these days). They are making female characters boring and soulless in an awful attempt to make them the “best”, and tearing down all the males characters so they don’t dare steal any spotlight or achievement, which makes the male characters insufferable too. If all the characters are terrible, how can the story be any good? Who is this stuff for?

Big thanks to Kathleen and Disney for spending 180 million USD to create this amazing comedy show! Haven't laughed so hard since The Marvels and Obi One Kenobi
