I think it's more than okay to make fun of a portion of the fanbase if said portion are bigoted idiots. However, from the above Twitter thread he's still working for them and writing a Darth Vader comic, so you'd expect someone at Disney to slap his wrists for the drama. |
The problem is that he is lumping a very big portion of the fanbase in with any true bigots. The company line, for now, is basically if you don't like the way the SW franchise is being handled and where its headed, for whatever reason, you are lumped in with the incredibly small minority that do have problems with their being women or minorities in the films. And its ok for the crew to bash and call you names. It's the same thing Sony and crew tried to pull with Ghostbusters '16. Surprise, it didn't exactly work out for them, either.
It's also hilarious how he says they had no impact on TLJ, yet its take was $730M (interestingly an amount Disney wishes Solo would do) less than TFA. Obviously they had a big impact.
