| coolbeans said: Both in your response and some of the other posts since my first comment, it's genuinely baffling how some people are approaching this situation. You understand the type of specialized fandom Star Wars has cultivated since its OG release, right? |
It's baffling to me why men feel like they're under attack, when someone is just trying to include more people.
"Remember: Star Wars is primarily for 12-year-old boys." - as far as I can tell this part is the actual quote that was said by George Lucas, and you're arguing that Star Wars was for everyone.
But suggesting that the Force is Female (in a different context), is dismissive for men.
That's how it generally feels when these kinds of comments come up. If you specify women, it must be pushing away men. If you specify men, it gets argued it is for everyone.
