Not to bring politics into this, but this kind of stuff already cost Clinton the election and the democrats both the house and senate... what are they doing? What's the goal?
90% of movies (and most TV and even video games to a great extent) now have some sort of obvious political message shoehorned in... will they ever stop and go back to making entertainment and art for its own sake?
Yes, I realize there has always been politics in our media, but NEVER to the degree it has been in the past 5 years or so. It's getting fucking weird.

Guess you missed the part in A New Hope where they blow up a planet.

Controversy based on Social Justice issues brings a lot of clicks and generates internet commotion among millennials. The studios use the free publicity to their benefit by spewing inane shit.IT's also beneficial to them to cater to the widest possible audience, and male nerds are already enfranchised, so it's only logical to try to pander to women, which usually don't give a shit about fantasy/sci-fi: it's much easier to get 10% more women buying tickets than it is to get the same proportion of men, especially if the only difference is picking a chick to be your protagonist.

Don't pay for it user. If you have any respect for your manhood and your ancestors, don't pay for it. Wait for a rip.

case in point that may or may not be the case about clinton, but sjw backlash is what drove trump's victory imo

Cultural Marxists taken hold in whats mainstream and subverting it using pawns such as Feminists and Social Justice Activists to further their Agenda.
In the end, they want to destroy Western Civilization, but their only replacement is what is closest resembled to Communism.
Grayson Young
its called pandering.they get brownie points for doing this and promoting it, the SJW's get off on hollywood "listening to them" and everyone gets a big pat on the back SJW's and the like are much louder then white males on Sup Forums, so they aim to appease them. It doesnt make much more then doing this though. Hollywood executives really dont care, they just throw stuff like this around to be safe
Robert Perry

David Miller
>case in point
It's kind of hard to have an actual discussion with someone that believes media has never been this political, Hollywood used to make anti Communist films during the cold war.
Aiden Wright
>but sjw backlash is what drove trump's victory imo It really wasn't, you'd be surprised how little of an issue sjw are outside the internet, people voted for trump for 2 reasons 1.theyre sick and tired of the same old shit in politics and just want something different 2.people fucking despise the Clintons

i recorded this because im a little too drunk to type, but its serious, but its kinda long
no that was because the illegals get to vote on their future and the don't want to go back

Clinton lost the election because democrats didn't feel like voting for her, not because of some alt-right tidal wave.
Voting for trump actually came in below turnouts from the recent past, democrats just lost more from a combination of putting forward a shitty inspiring candidate and Obama not turning out to be bush 3
Liam Hernandez
So, whoever completely writes off this idea, needs to tell us how many illegal immigrants did vote. Obama encouraged them to vote only weeks before the election, so some of them had to have voted. The question is, how many out of those 13 million?

no fucking way i am supporting this leftist tripe
remember when star was was just about samari's in space with a qt love triangle and fun?
Fuck Disney for turning this into a political mouthpeace.
i watch star wars to escape not to be reminded of some fucking stupid man hating movement.

How has Rogue One been politicized? Two of the writers said this to act like they took this gig to change Star Wars into some kind of liberal preachy shit when really they did it for them money. None of the material that has been released so far makes it seem like they're going to have a ton of hammy shit about how hard it is to be a woman. This film will make a billion dollars and you'll still be tilting at windmills.
It certainly wasn't the only factor, but to say the turnout for Trump had nothing to do with a pushback against all this SJW noise is inaccurate.
There were definitely a lot of people who were tired of being labeled racist, or people who were put off by the petulance of young adults pitching fits on Ivy League campuses over halloween costumes, or people who were weary of people pushing 67 different genders.
For all her strengths, Clinton definitely was a poor candidate. However, the base themselves must shoulder part of the responsibility.
Levi Collins
Alright this has been bothering the hell out of me since i first saw it
Can someone explain why the FUCK the new black stormtroopers are wearing german WW2 ammo puches? Literally why? Just what exactly is (((disney))) trying to tell us here with this particular outstanding prop choice?
Ryan Perez
did you not just read the image in the Op? It's politicized.
Levi Ortiz
Race Bannon
Dylan Garcia
By the fucking actors and writers using star wars fame for their political mouthpieces and abusing the source material.
Its like how Simon Pegg made Sulu gay.
absolutely fucking retarded
Dominic Collins
>but sjw backlash is what drove trump's victory imo Nah Trump won because Clinton's ground game was garbage outside of metropolitan areas. He had the lowest Republican turnout in 8 years, but there weren't democrats voting where it mattered. Outside of the internet, no one gives a shit about "the SJWs", and to act like that was a driving force behind Trump's victory is delusional. It's Sup Forums trying to act like they somehow influenced world politics, when in actuality it was the dems shitty candidate and shitty organisation.

Jack Rivera
yeah but today's liberal shit is usually factually incorrect batshit insanity. It's almost all hypberbole in every statement.
So it's really obnoxious to see idiots push for 'safety pins because literally Hitler' and 'go see our fantasy about fighting an oppressive regime if you're unhappy with the US election'
t. used to be liberal 10 years ago

College-aged liberals have always been a bunch of loony assholes. It's just easier for them to coordinate their dumb bullshit now with the internet. The writers getting buttblasted about the election and tweeting shit they just made up isn't part of some global conspiracy. I'm sure Disney made them delete that shit. Calm the heck down.

Sebastian Bailey
It wasn't because trump was a good candidate or because of sjws, it was because it's pretty clear to a ton of people that she's a scheming Machiavelli who was just going to be more of the same military industial complex/pharma/finance industry dick sucker. Nobody wants to vote for that and she STILL came ahead in popular vote.
Carter Russell
Really made me think.

At least since trump won we can sit back and laugh at these silly lefties playing their silly games. Imagine how much more painful this shit would be if hilldog won
Isaac Ramirez
The question you have to ask is how much of this is empty virtue signalling compared to how much of it actually influences the movie.
I frankly don't give a fuck if they get every click bait outlet on earth to go on about grill power, so long as the movie is entertaining and largely free from such cringeworthy additions.
