>That one fag who tweeted about "The Empire is an allegory for white male supremacy" looks dumber every single day.
Yeah pretty much.
Whiles its true that the Imperials are oppressive and enslaves many worlds, and there very well may have been xenophobic Officers and Troopers, this does not represent the Empire as a whole.
The Empire doesn't care who you sleep with, human or alien, male or female.
One of the ruling figures of the Empire was Mas Ammeda. Literally every Inquisitor we have seen thus far has been non-human too.
If you're humanoid, you have every right to join the Empire and work your way up through the ranks. You just need to fit the armor.
The Empire is much scarier when you take into account that they discriminate indifferently, for the gain of the Empire. If your planet is resourceful, fuck you, they're taking it. But if you want into the Empire and want to join and fight for them, you just need to fit the armor, and they'll use you happily.
When you reduce them to "r-racists! sexists!", they become eye-rolling allegories for whatever the left wants to compare them to.
The Empire has multiple black women in leading positions, so thankfully Lucasfilm is not going to follow the ridiculous idea of the Empire being sexist or racist. Thrawn and the Inquisitors are evident that mainstream Impirials are mostly tolerant of aliens too.
So that guy really was making a fucking stupid comment trying to say "l-look! The Empire is what Trumps America looks like!".
Thankfully people called him out on his bullshit, and he deleted the tweet.
It's one thing to make an abhorrently stupid claim about the universe you're supposed to know about, but he also took the biggest franchise's fanbase on the planet, and effectively threw half of them under the bus to make a shitty reference.
