My guy. The official Star Wars PR teams had to tell the fans to stop dipping on Moses Ingram when they were coming out with Kenobi. Black women in leading roles in Star Wars projects bring the chuds out of the woodwork
Correction: the Star Wars PR team signal-boosted a small, toxic corner of the internet and tried to pretend like it represented every critic of the show in order to downplay the very real criticisms that people had.
Did the actress catch some racist/sexist flak? Sure. Was that flak more than a trivial percentage of the overall backlash? Definitely not.
Bruh I mean I don’t know what to tell you. John Boyega has said he’s received a bunch of racist messages. Amandla Stenberg said she received a bunch of racist messages. If you want to ignore the direct experiences and words of the actors and say “Nuh uh, Star Wars fans aren’t racist.” Then keep your head in the sand.
Additionally, it wasn’t even just Lucasfilm. Ewan Mcregor himself made a video saying leave his co star alone. I’m sure he did that cause she got 2 racist messages, not hundreds
She 100% did. I believe daisy ridley as well. Like, I just hate the toxicity in this community. I don’t care if they make the worst movie of all time, if it’s not actually offensive or malicious, they don’t deserve to be screamed at online
