I think it's bad to come up with in-universe reasons to excuse real-world racism

OMFG, throw it away, what absolute TRASH! I'm so sorry everyone SW is dead, it died with Ben Solo and cowboy hat man is not gonna resurrect it

Do they build a story on this or is it a throw away line?

porgs.bsky.social•15 hours ago

apparently there's more to it in other panels later on

idk why everyone dances around calling jj a racist but between making finn a sanitation worker, erasing poe's backstory in favor of making him a drug runner, and erasing rose from tros (not to mention his long history of sexism) I don't think it could be any clearer that he has a problem

oh and also *gestures at the entirety of star trek into darkness*

I'm glad at least SWE openly calls out racist nonsense. Nobody worth listening to is pretending JJ isn't ignorant.

Sad when a writer after the fact has to make up a "fix" to filmmakers' choices.

Why are these people so hell-bent on not just retaining but justifying bad choices.

They can just make stuff up so there's more to talk about than the thing everyone hated.

porgs.bsky.social•20 hours ago

ah but that would be an implicit admission that they made a bad choice in the first place and we can't have that 🙃

urgh, i think i will have to look for some canon divergent fics starring Rose to cleanse my palate from this.
