Your point that the Acolyte flopped because of racism doesn’t stand, you’ve either dismissed or ignored my questions or provided links that are either speculation or are from a non reputable source like a lemmy comment. One would think that there would be screenshots or videos or viewership statistics or something to prove your point.
Are you serious? Not only are you linking to to a comment on this thread but you think Pedro Pascal is in Andor? He’s not even Mexican for fuck sake.
Why aren’t we hearing this about Andor? It seems like there’s only ever controversy around bad films that have marketed themselves as being diverse while never for films that are just diverse.
The article you linked says that the negative reception to wards the Acolyte “…can be seen as part of a wider pattern of resistance to diversity in media.” While speaking about specific cases in other films but not in the Acolyte. They are trying to make it sound like any form of negative criticism is linked to bigotry. It’s like they’re using racism and misogyny as a scapegoat.
I struggle to understand how some racist comments online can stop a movie or show from being popular with the masses? Where are all the “real Star Wars fans” that apparently support these shows? Most people don’t follow our care about online controversy.
Seriously? No examples? This is just an article claiming that there where racist and misogynistic comments without any screenshot or quotations of any of them. Not even bleeped out videos that they claim existed. It feels like it’s a pr stunt because they knew it would be a bad show. Again, why hasn’t Andor received the same hate? It has diverse characters and the lead actor is Mexican.
Oh please, I doubt a loud minority of people on twitter is going to make a show flop if it was actually good. What was said about the Acolyte that was bigoted?
Are we really still pushing this narrative in late 2025? Andor is a modern star wars show that has diverse characters and a queen relationship and had little to no backlash because of it. Just because you like an objectively bad show doesn’t mean that everyone else that didn’t like it are suddenly racist/ sexist/ misogynistic/ whatever other term you have for trying to justify why you like the show.
You are allowed to like bad content, I don’t think there’s a single person out there that doesn’t have at least one thing that they know is bad but still enjoy the only difference is that they’re not angry at other people for not liking it too.
