Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

They're not even the same ethnic group. Vietnamese and Han Chinese have been warring with each other for centuries. Trying to say they're the same is like saying Germans and Polish people are the same.

That's the point, isn't it? Most Americans seem to have this way of thinking that people who look similar can't really hate each other, which is weird, considering plenty of settlers fled from Europe to America to avoid religious conflicts where participants often differed only in their faith.

I chalk it up to Hollywood ignorance. Even the average Americans know the difference between a Texan and a New Yorker, or an Italian and an Irishman. The powerful people in Hollywood however, barely care about anything except appearances and dollar signs.

From outsider's perspective, it really looks like most Americans can't comprehend how much people within same ethnic groups can hate each other.

I will again tell my favorite story about this.
My buddy was dating a 2nd generation girl of Chinese-decent. She had be physically restrained from going after another girl who called her Korean because "I ain't no fucking dog eater, bitch!"

My other favorite one of these is Persians and Arabs, because the Persians think anyone can tell them apart from Arabs.

You think Asians don't like one another because they don't have the "foresight" to see it. Lol

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

They hate each other for the same reason Germans and Poles fucking hate each other, and why they both hate the Russians.

That's a very slanted way to look at it.

Disney's marching orders for their shill reviewers are that they must compare The Acolyte to Andor since Andor was the only recent Disney Wars show with any kind of decent reception. This is going to be an amazing disaster and I can't wait to laugh at its failure. One shill even compares it to fucking Twin Peaks. I'd love to see David Lynch walking around Lucasfilm smoking a cigarette and telling everyone to shut the fuck up.

I watched at 2x (not fast enough, even with skimping the self-wank segments) that Star Wars hotel review and something jumped out at me: First that she is 100% disney buck-broke (to be expected) and second the part where she talks about the Disney corporate minders forcing everyone to use the Disney-approved terms instead of natural language to ensure their shilling comes across as maximum unnatural.
I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of that for their new series money fire.

A reminder that you can bribe those reviewers for five times cheaper than you can a hooker. A prostitute demands at least 250 before she fluffs you up for a bit. These fucks sell their soul and career for 50. That's as many as five tens, and that's retarded.

And that ignores intentionally rounding up a score to make it "fresh" or "positive" when it's a bit over 2.5/5 to lie.

At least be better at it than the agitprop from the USSR right before the failed coup killed it.

That's movie youtube movie reviewers. These shill reaction channels shill for Disney for nothing more than free merch.

I'm sort of in the mood to get some pizza delivered, so I guess I Stan Babu Frik™ at the Disney Galaxy Edge™ Odla's cantina™ next to the Star Wars™ Galactic Cruiser Hotel™ experience.

Don't even need to physically bribe them as long as they think they're on the right side of history and they get their lbgt+pedo representation on screen and in canon.

My other favorite one of these is Persians and Arabs, because the Persians think anyone can tell them apart from Arabs.

You actually can easily, but we've been bombarded with too much Arab association with that part of the world. I know someone who was working in Iran when that Ben Affleck movie Argo came out. Irians didn't really care about the movie except that it had ugly hairy Turkish people in it playing Persians.

Hollywood is very good at promoting these strict monocultures. In their authentic voices in hiring actors, crews and writers. They don't care. You can be half Japanese, born in American but considered an authentic talent to direct a film inspired on Chinese folk law. That's representation in a way a white man would be inauthentic.

I've heard on podcasts Asian writers who were fully born and raised in America, consider themselves American now only get offered writing jobs on shows about Asian which they really have no connection to, and isn't even the parts of Asian culture they're descended from. So much of it is just performative and fake. They just want to be superficially looking like they're doing it but aren't doing the work to do it. Which shows how meaningless it all actually is.

iirc the dude who was Lo Pan and the old woodchuck or whatever in Kung Fu Panda has a story of when he was young him and another dude worked on dubbing some early kaiju stuff not unlike George Takei, they first auditioned doing sincere attempts and Japanese accents, but after going full AHHHH SOOO MEE RIKE DA FLIED LICE the producers were like "ooh, they really are asian!"

On the inverse of that, on youtube the other day I was watching a video with clips from some Australian discussion show on DEI and it had some writer there talking about how awful it is to write anything now. With all the quotas and mandates. He wrote a script with a side character based on a real person he knew. Who had a really strong Asian accent. He was told it was a racist stereotype and the person must speak perfect English with an Australian accent.

An example of how this nonsense goes every which way and there's no winning. It's not about being authentic.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Just played some Jedi Outcast, Academy, and Battlefront 1 to remind myself of the old days. Fun times.

The Rhen Var levels are far more challenging for the Rebels than the Empire; aside from the fact that the Empire gets an AT-AT in one of them, the other level has heights and peaks that are easily accessible by Dark Troopers, but Rebels have to climb them the old-fashioned way, making it harder for them to fight their way through. I beat them well enough as the Rebels, but it wasn't a total massacre like I would do as the Imperials, where it got so funny that I'd even disable their last command post while their army still has 100 men, only for them to get gunned down to zero because they can't respawn. Rhen Var is a well-enough battle as the Rebels, I took down at least 3 AT-ATs, but as the Imperials, it's a massacre.

I'd like to think that the mission to Alzoc III in Jedi Outcast takes place after Desann's defeat. Kyle is with Jan, but he already has his lightsaber and Force powers, even though he doesn't have all his upgrades. I suppose they had to nerf him a bit so that the lone Dark Jedi at the end is somewhat challenging.

As for Jedi Academy's opening levels, I suppose a lot of people complained about the maze-like levels in JK2's first half and the Nar Shaddaa levels where Rodian snipers took potshots at you with disintegration rifles; Jedi Academy's opening levels are a breeze. But they still had their challenging bits, like when your ship crashes and some sand worm is stalking you; no lightsaber or gunning down bad guys there, you just have to be really fast. Or the Corellian level where you have to be careful about platforming so you don't fall off the train. Although the two Tatooine levels do make you feel like slicing down people is a 9-5 job for a Jedi. Almost like a Dynasty Warriors game where you cut down hordes of enemies.

I remember a friend of mine who was so angry at Rosh he's never played the Light Side ending of the game. He always opts to kill Rosh when he got the chance.

They don't care. You can be half Japanese, born in American but considered an authentic talent to direct a film inspired on Chinese folk law.

A good example would be that racist hoodlum who LARPs as an African, Ta-Nehisi Coates. Born and raised in America, and he still got to write the Black Panther comic by virtue of being black. It's funny how the American perception of race is entirely based on skin color.

Not that they care, of course, since it's all virtue signaling. Still funny.

Hearing his voice everywhere on Skyrim has dulled my hatred of him, but he's still a grating wuss. Raven knew what they were doing making his fate the LS/DS choice.

Of course they'd choose someone like him. If they chose an actual African from Africa, the dude would make Black Panther a devout Muslim or Christian, with strong family values and a strong hatred of lawbreakers. Not something modern PC sensibilities can work with.

I remember flipping through his first issue of Black Panther at the local comic shop, it felt like a goddamn novel crammed into every page and was boring as hell.
