The problem is that there is a group of people that everytime someone disagrees with them (especially those who didn't like TLJ) they immediately use the Sex or Race card.

And here is the thing: Yes, there are racist and sexist everywhere (and in every fandom) BUT if those people were so numerous in the Star Wars fanbase then TFA, RO and even TLJ wouldn't have made nearly as much money as they did.

So yes, I find it EXTREMELY disrespectful everytime someone close to Lucas Film uses those terms implying that a big portion of the fanbase is like that.

He didn't paint a big portion of the fanbase like it at all, he said he fell down a weird rabbit hole of shitty Star Wars fans. And he's not wrong. I see a lot of weird and shitty Star Wars "fans" online.

Anyway, I found the Twitter thread, it wasn't deleted or unprovoked as Azuren thought - 

And again, I really don't think he's wrong.

Star Wars fans are quite shitty, I hate to say it, it's a toxic fanbase in a lot of respects. Jake Lloyd (the actor who played Kid Anakin) endured a lot of harassment over the years which contributed to a mental breakdown, stuff like that is just gross. I don't like the prequels but how much of an asshole do you have to be to harass some kid that was just doing his job? Even Star Trek fans and certainly Marvel fans are not that shitty. 

No one cares if Iron Man 2 & 3 were ass or that Thor 2 sucked or that every second Star Trek film is underwhelming (it's a running joke by now, which most fans take in good humor) or that the new Hobbit trilogy wasn't very good. 

The dude above is getting harassed as a Star Wars book author? LOL. What losers, get a fucking life.
