I disagree. Ep. III was a functional film. It just failed to truly capitalize on what should have been the greatest plot point in the entire series.

Disney suuuuucks! It's everywhere and people, at least here in California, have a cult-like devotion to it. People look daggers at me if I say I don't like Disney out loud.
Ok, Star Wars isn't all that bad, even though the Disney overlords own that one too. See, I told you they are everywhere.

Sometimes I judge women for getting abortions even though I consider myself pro-choice. Does that count?

My eyes gloss over when people talk about Star Wars so intensely. Who even cares?

I guess the controversial view here is for me to say that I genuinely enjoyed the latest Star Wars movie.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

So I was working in retail a few weeks ago, and when I was on the shop floor a thought crossed my mind
I saw quite a few (since we're a city with a very large number of Muslims) women who were like fully Hijab'd and burka'd out, like with the full black curtain and head covering and sometimes a face covering too.
The store I was working in was a clothing store, but naturally most of the clothes were not all-black and even the clothes that aren't black (typically) are not going to be loose huge baggy things.
If I see these Muslim women in a shop like that, the thought does cross my mind "what are you going to find in here? What's the point?". I'm not going to say anything, keep it professional, but really tho, it's true.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

It failed to do a lot of things, like make sense.
