You can't gatekeep what you don't own. If Disney decides Star Wars is for faggot feminists, you can't do anything about that other then give up on it.
Deny the mindshare. Star Wars was only three movies (six if you're feeling froggy) and that's it. I don't understand hate watchers for this reason, especially when the new shepherds outwardly say they hate you, the existing fan.
Huh? "The Force Awakens"? Is that a real thing? Sounds fake.
Kind of. If you have a large and popular forum that offers a clear pushback against the heresey, it atleast allows some of the fandom to not dissolve into worship of disney's diseased leftovers.
But, because jannies are trannies, the majority of them gleefully hopped on that train and called anyone not on thier side misogonistic incels.
...yeah, I'm still fucking bitter.
You can if the owners are apathetic about what they let outsiders get away with. Disney notoriously isn't apathetic about controlling their IPs. But that carelessness has been the downfall of many other subcultures when no-one has the balls to fight interlopers trying to build fences on land someone else cultivated.
Not quite true. While Disney does "own" the IP, the public is perfectly capable of shrugging and saying "nah, not canon." In the long run, this is what must happen.
