Heard a story the writers wanted a black woman as the main character but the execs overrulled them because they wanted to actually sell the game. So the writers rammed the diversity in as the lead npc who is of course awesome at everything
It's been a while, but I don't remember taking much issue with her character. She was a product of failure trying to do better. I think by the end I grew to like the whole crew, especially the pilot.
You could copy and paste any random race/ethnicity/gender character in to her place and have the same character with the same motivations.
Its less about her being black and more about her being ugly with a man's haircut that is the political statement. Its normalizing unfeminine women, promoting women in man's jobs, pretending black women can be effective leaders or be competent at any meaningful task that doesn't involve entertainment.
I despised that character from the get go. Clear diversity choice. Ugly face model. Like butt ugly model. Pathetic whiny and annoying personality. I was happy when she died and wish I could've skipped every single forced cut scene with her.
She's played by the chick from Mad TV. I don't know what her current political leanings are, but Mad TV was definitely the opposite of Woke, back in the day. Like SNL, but edgier.
Stupid arguments like this meme are why we lose. It still accepts the frame (DIE is needed/good/beneficial/etc) and validates the moral superiority of the speaker.
our beliefs are so widespread that even your precious niggers would agree with us on principle if you went to africa and asked them, but you think you're the majority?
But you know I'm right. You're saying "don't use logic, just call them names". Anyone is going to dismiss you and make fun of you for acting like that. That's a losing strategy, lmao.
It's not your community so there's nothing to defend. Star Wars is gone.
For other spaces, the proper response to entryists is to purge them ASAP. When someone starts talking about diversity or pronouns, just fire them. Don't give a reason, just show them the door. If you don't have that power, then you need to get it.
Much of the problem of leftism is they have all the money. The channel contra points makes less than a video a year and gets millions of dollars. Left-wing orgs have unlimited cash to buy people off. You don't care if you lose profits because the left pays you either way. Easier to keep the left happy than deal with customer feedback.
We live in an absurd time where companies across the country are trying to purge customers. It's the damndest thing. It works because of financialization and left wing money pipeline. Cutting it off is the first step.
does not know anything about the lore and put 0 effort to look it up
keeps talking about how is important to have characters with high levels of melanin
anyone who disagrees is racist
I made this point before, if you hire people for diversity there is no reason for them to excel or work hard towards any goal, the reason for them being hired is already 100% fulfilled. Unfortunately it also makes them activists as a defense mechanism, it kind of sucks. This is why we have such different views from Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington. Actors like them have built their careers on merit and they defend merit, if you build your career on your melanin levels you are going to become an activist.
Exactly. I feel the same way when the latest female writer or other diversity hire opens up with “I never saw myself in…..” when they open that way you know they don’t give a crap
Star Wars brought in Samuel L. Jackson playing Samuel L Jackson, nuff said.
In the prequel trilogy he was Samuel L Jackson with a lightsaber. I was expecting him to call some people motherfuckers in his role lol
😂 don't get me started on him asking for a grape lightsaber... His readon was pretty understandable though. Asked for a different color so he could point himself out to family on screen.
But yeah, he's pretty based on the race baiting bullshit...
All of the criticisms of this actor have been about her acting, I have not once seen a WE WUZ post of her gain traction. I imagine the directors are mostly to blame, there are stints of monotone and wooden lines delivered throughout the show, even from Ewan McGregor.
She does not sell the character. She may be good in other roles but not every actor is good in any role. Robert Downy Jr. is a great actor that people like but he plays very similar roles and that is ok. She was not good in this character and only ended up hurting her career, although I understand she is getting her own series, apparently diversity trumps everything now.
I've actually warmed up to the character tbh (shocking, I know). I was going to wait for the last episode to air before posting a thread because there was a lot of good mixed in with the bad of Kenobi. Despite the twitter bullshit, I do think disney has matured a bit since the disaster that was TLJ. I will withold final judgement until the last episode tho.
PLZ NO KWEEN, I IS NO RAYCIS, LOOK AT HOW NON RACIST I AM WE ALREADY HAVE THE DIVERSITY WHICH YOU ASK FOR, PLEASE MUH KWEEN
how about we removed all the minorities from media, how about that for a change. Pleading with them and giving them examples of your epic anti-racism obviously doesn't do shit
At this point if I see someone black or otherwise non white I expect them to be a diversity hire if it's in a recent movie/series. I can do without nowadays.
I'm impressed. Throwing the likes of Billy Dee Williams, Samuel L Jackson, James Earl Jones, (technically a voice, but he was a central character) and Forest Whitaker and John Boyega under the bus like that.
in couple months, some other negro will come along about no representation in stah wahs and you'll have to stick reeeeva on the wall of diversity hire as well
He did at first, then he got angry that Disney basically shat all over his character.
Finn had a LOT of fucking potential to become a Ex-Stormtrooper turned Jedi. Pick that fucking lightsaber up and start slashing some mfers Samuel Jackson style.
But nope, mandatory black sidekick. Well done Disney you fucking idiots.
Yes, it makes no sense. Until you realize the segment of the population plaguing the entirety of society with crime and violence and leeching productivity from those who work are holding back our potential from technological advancement and future space exploration.
You mean us or the ones that obsess over diversity in every show or movie? I don’t have Disney plus anymore and have no more interest in Disney Star Wars. I assumed it would be a bait and switch or the show wouldn’t focus on Luke and Obi-Wan based on the track record. Of Disney/Marvel
Good policy to assume THE MESSAGE trumps the story unless there are other indicators. Like the diversity isn't in marketing or it has negative critic reviews but high audience scores.
I watched BoBF and I had a lot of complaints about that show. I skipped Halo though because Chief was done wrong right from the getgo with his discount Mandalorian voice.
Civil rights/DIE is a cudgel that will never be relinquished voluntarily. No matter how many laws we pass, how much diversity is crammed into every neighborhood, shopping mall, or unwilling orifice, we're always more and more racist.
I don't think these useful idiots realize that they are creating so much completely unnecessary & hysterical friction that at some point people are going to say; fuck it, give me separation.
You're playing a screaming black woman consumed by her negative emotions. You're not some shining beacon of representation, you're a minstrel who brought their own blackface.
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away for no reason at all...
Underrated post.
Finn and the googly eyed one were diversity inclusion and I don't know about the cartoon one
All of the others were characters who happened to be black, not black characters.
And that is the main thing that the race hustlers hate, they can't keep up the grift unless race comes before every other consideration.
They need not just race but racial stereotypes. It’s hilarious how racist each action of “inclusion” is.
Googly eyed one? Oh, you mean Forest Whitaker, right? Lol
The lower right one from fallen order

This is not a win it's a self own.
don't defend, don't argue, don't bother with "facts and logic"
attack anyone who pushes subversion personally, make it about them and tear them down without mercy
That only works if somebody actually gives a shit what you think, lmao. You have a case of unwarranted self-importance.

This. And now: Please stop giving them money.
Feel free to add Samuel L. Jackson because nothing about him screams "Jedi master".
Is she admitting to being a diversity hire?
So she makes it clear that she didn’t care enough to research the lore when she accepted the role.
She basically confirms she is a diversity hire.
does not know anything about the lore and put 0 effort to look it up

Samuel L. Jackson could easily be added to that list...
he practically carried captain marvel...

Alternatively, you could stop watching subversive trash made by people who hate you.
It's funny how they turned "Hey, this Obiwan series should be about Obiwan" into "you're racist and hate black people".
well the show sucks and I'm also racist
how about we removed all the minorities from media, how about that for a change. Pleading with them and giving them examples of your epic anti-racism obviously doesn't do shit
but but we love Candace Owens!
she would make a fine escort but don't really care to hear her talking
At this point if I see someone black or otherwise non white I expect them to be a diversity hire if it's in a recent movie/series. I can do without nowadays.
I'm impressed. Throwing the likes of Billy Dee Williams, Samuel L Jackson, James Earl Jones, (technically a voice, but he was a central character) and Forest Whitaker and John Boyega under the bus like that.
wasn't boyega also playing the race card
Doesn't matter if he was playing the race card every turn or not, he still existed.
in couple months, some other negro will come along about no representation in stah wahs and you'll have to stick reeeeva on the wall of diversity hire as well
He did at first, then he got angry that Disney basically shat all over his character.
Finn had a LOT of fucking potential to become a Ex-Stormtrooper turned Jedi. Pick that fucking lightsaber up and start slashing some mfers Samuel Jackson style.

I hear Somalia has a robust space program

Then if you ask them if they actually are into the lore they say you are gatekeeping
Good policy to assume THE MESSAGE trumps the story unless there are other indicators. Like the diversity isn't in marketing or it has negative critic reviews but high audience scores.

Nah, she's got a point. If it hadn't been for green chicks, Captain Kirk would've hardly ever gotten laid.
Civil rights/DIE is a cudgel that will never be relinquished voluntarily. No matter how many laws we pass, how much diversity is crammed into every neighborhood, shopping mall, or unwilling orifice, we're always more and more racist.
Don't play that game.
I don't think these useful idiots realize that they are creating so much completely unnecessary & hysterical friction that at some point people are going to say; fuck it, give me separation.
ten bucks says she pivots to "not enough" if someone calls her on it...
a black human is just about the least "diverse" thing you could offer in star wars.
You're playing a screaming black woman consumed by her negative emotions. You're not some shining beacon of representation, you're a minstrel who brought their own blackface.
I’d like to see some recorded confrontations. Tell the bitch you’ve nailed 2x4s with more range
Even Ewoks had the wheel.
You got aliens and talking droids and low crime rates, then it makes perfect sense.
loved Jolee in KOTOR, he said the funniest shit and was the most rational force user in that entire game. True Neutral
They had blue aliens, pink aliens, green aliens... actual diversity!
Chewbacca was brown, that counts as 'black' too, right?
The more you pander to them the more they will ask and take. You'll end up losing everytime. Don't play their games at all.
What it means - I think - is:
