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.
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.
I’ve linked to two different instances of people talking about it, there are of course many more. Thus why I asked you how big this conspiracy of yours would be for all of them to be lying.

(afaik Pedro Pascal isn’t a black woman but maybe I’m out of the loop)
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.
Sure, I can’t really understand myself why I wrote Pedro Pascal instead of Diego Luna - but it doesn’t change the point of the post whatsoever tbh.
