#‘it’s coincidence!’ then it’s still bad. those writers have never questioned their ableist sexist and racist worldviews

Once again, I am begging people to start questioning the actions of Star Wars writers and executives.
Why is the “greedy, resource hogger” character a fat, disabled man?
Why is the Black man the “violent terrorist whose impacts are useless except to harm others?”
Why are the main characters whitewashed?
Why is the autistic man killed after his disability was finally acknowledged?
Why does the woman die of no reason other than apparent sadness?
Why?
#take a second and think.#you all know damn well why#you just do not want to acknowledge how fucked up this all is#Star Wars#‘it could have been any character!’ but it wasn’t.#‘it’s coincidence!’ then it’s still bad. those writers have never questioned their ableist sexist and racist worldviews#and thus further stereotype and harmful notions by never once fixing their biases#‘it’s not that deep.’ yes it is.#just because it doesn’t fucking affect YOU doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect me. or others.#take five seconds to wonder who this shit hurts.#and if after that you find you don’t care? block me. saves me the hassle of dealing with your sorry ass.
