#Even when nostalgia bait goes a little differently from what they wanted the fandom throws a hissy fit

Why can't we just have nice things?
#star wars#the acolyte#Star Wars the acolyte#Legit really pissed about this#I was fucking invested in that#Like I have no doubt this is because of the fan negativity#And I just can't help but hate the Star Wars fandom at this time#This is a fandom that is constantly throwing tantrums over the stupidest shit#And those tantrums ensure that we never explore stories that are about anything other than nostalgia bait#And even those will likely invite their own whinging#Gonna be honest#I don't know the way forward for this franchise#Every time someone tries to do something new and interesting the fandom throws a hissy fit#Every time someone other than a cishet white man makes a show the fandom throws a hissy fit#Even when nostalgia bait goes a little differently from what they wanted the fandom throws a hissy fit#So what is there to do?#What stories are there to tell?#If you're going to try and make stories for people who just want to be angry at you for everything you do#What is left?#And why won't these people who repeatedly say they're done with Star Wars just go the fuck away already?#What do they gain by sticking around to a franchise they say has left them behind?#Why are they so offended that other people are enjoying something that's not for them anymore?#And how do you tell a story when a whole cadre of assholes is going to try to hijack the narrative around it before it even starts?
