Look at these millionaires who had to stop posting on social media because people said mean things to them. And this billionaire who wasn't "having fun" making millions of dollars anymore.
The comic book artist who is a moron and doesn't realize that in any population of millions, a few thousand will literally be mentally unhinged--hence the reason nearly every movie star or famous person has been harassed well before social media and its got nothing to do with something endemic to star wars fans. Also, Disney certainly has the high ground in terms of pointing out bad actors who have fucked over artists....

Exactly. I hate how fans who criticize TLJ are lumped in with idiots that take the time to harass actors and actresses. I simply say "the movie sucked, and here's why" and move on.
Disney making a big deal about the harassment is a preemptive move to defend future projects not being successful and criticized as a "if it weren't for these intolerants" defense.

this isn't unique to disney. it's just a relatively newer stance for movie studios to be making. at least, they are making it publicly now. it's just that disney is basically the largest, most public company to be doing it. they are trying to be more diverse in their characters and actors. that, in and of itself is totally fine. i really don't think most people have a problem with this. the CHARACTERS themselves are saying and doing bizarre things that are not resonating with the majority of the audience. who cares what the person looks like. it just so happens that the person is a minority or has purple hair. it's funny. the people complaining about inequality are perpetuating that inequality by refusing to allow the same level of scrutiny.
luke is a perfect example of this. people love mark hamil. people do NOT like how luke behaved in TLJ. but no one is saying people are attacking him because he's a white male. i'm suprised no one is even claiming his white privilege is helping him to avoid criticism. rose tico on the other hand. i don't REALLY think anyone has a problem with the actress. she was passable in the role. but the role was really stupid. her character was an imbecile.
