No, you judged them for a supposed correlation between personal fragility and what they eat, and ranted rather than insulted.

I lack empathy, and Star Wars is deep because so many people love it and have for a long time? Think about that for a while, why don't you. Think of all the massively popular cultural phenomenon that are no deeper than what I've claimed for Star Wars. Popular and deep are not as synonymous as...

So you mean "Easy" as shorthand for three paragraphs of bitter ranting, and you wonder if people other than yourself are thin skinned? Fix your own home buddy. I think it's simpler, based on the OP's responses and OP post, they just wanted to start some predictable shit. This seems to be...

No, we ignored the part when you confused the positive or negative implications of the role, with the positive or negative implications of women having access to playing the role. Whether that's intentional because you think anyone has time for that kind of thing, or unintentional for other...

Conflating a single work within a genre with the possibilities of the entire genre? Cute. Star Wars isn't all of scifi, it isn't even very good fantasy/sci-fi. It's very fun though. Weak premises can make for fun films, but they rarely hold up beyond that. Star Wars is a great example, and why...

You don't see what's empowering about a female playing a role typically filled only by men? You outlined why it would be empowering, then just failed to see why because it's not a positive "role model" or some bullshit.

Easy to offend has to exist on a scale in which it is "Easy-Normal-Hard" or some variation. By definition, normal is most people. Try not being inherently contradictory, and I won't have a problem with it. Your analogy changing "Religious" to "A minority sect of religious people" is weak sauce.

Maybe if you had nothing else, nothing here, no social skills, no job and no life, you'd crave the feeling of importance and outrage instilled by assuming that raving Tumblrinas are a rising tide you have to fight. It's probably easier than trying to actually deal with the glaring issues that...

It makes sense within the bullshit, kiddie world of Star Wars. It stops making sense when adults try to act like Star Wars was some great symbolic work of art and apply it to a broader universe. Magic laser-swordfighting knights is fun and funny, but not smart or insightful. The unworkable...

Well, it seems like the OP isn't too interested in arguing for their point, except in a few posts with a selected few in this thread. Was this whole thread just a really backhanded way to express your angst OP, not really an invitation to a discussion?

I think it's going to be a better internet and world, when more people just accept, "Like what you like." When we stop fighting over "The best" music, or diet, or anything else and just start looking for the ones we enjoy the most. May your black pudding be fried slightly crispy on the...

I love the modern trend of people screaming, "What's wrong with everyone?!" Then you dig a little deeper and "Everyone" is online, in school, or on Fox.

We're omnivores, but that's a broad term and our evolutionary history of the last 1.8 million years or so centered around meat, until relatively recently. We're also the kind of omnivores that try to get a little of everything, not a little of everything, except animal protein. The truth is that...

I want one that has an easily variable geometry, that seems like a smart move. Also purple, with crackling blue flashes.

It's disturbing to see that you need racism to be explained to you, to be as obvious as something that you'd show to a child. Either you're more limited than you're letting on in the posts that I've read, or you're screwing around to make a point. The only point coming across is that you're...
