I wouldn't put it past her kicking this up just to generate buzz/attention.

I mean i feel bad for the outfit, hair, and role they gave her in TLJ, but you expect me to believe that it is SIX MONTHS after the movie she was driven off? Not the immediate months after release when tlj hate was at it's height?

It wouldn't surpurise me if somebody thought this would be a great stunt to get a buycot of Solo going...

Some people have thicker skins than others. But everyone has a limit. The fact they just reached it speaks on how much she took the backlash while holding some professional behavior.

Something Chipman could take a bloody note, or two.

Trans' Instagram was basically daily slice of life stuff. I hate to say it but Bob is actually right this time in saying she was harassed.

And to anyone not believing it, Star Wars has always been very passionate about hunting the cast. Jake Lloyd was bullied over Phantom Menace, Haydan Christiansan's career derailed after the prequels and he got a lot of backlash (though he has always said he never regrets being part of the films and he was met with a passionate response at Star Wars Celebration a few years ago) and Lucas has said at one point or another he just gave up with Star Wars over the fans.

Star Wars' fandom has always been this bad.. Tran is unfortunately just the latest in a long line of people who have gotten in their crosshairs.

The hate toward Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson (and Lucas during the prequels) I understand, because those are the people making the artistic and financial decisions driving the franchise into the ditch. To go after an actor just because you hate the character rather than feel sorry for someone who got cast in a Star Wars film only for it to be a total trainwreck is just exceptional beyond belief.

It doesn't help that it gives monkey-skulled ogres like Bob an excuse to defend these garbage movies.

Yeah, I always draw a fine line when it comes to going after actors, namely "only do it when they bring it on themselves," a la Ghostbusters. Tran never even mocked the people who didn't like Last Jedi to my knowledge, so her harassment is reprehensible in my eyes.

I do think it's rather pathetic how the response from a lot of the wokes has basically been to just say the entire SW fandom is made of dudebros who hate diversity. Most of them don't even offer any condolences towards Kelly, they're just using her suffering as ammunition for their potshots. (then again, wokes using minorities as ammo for potshots at The White Man is nothing new)

 

[elder god]

Hey guys, I'm a 100% super serial real academic too! Give me money!

Yeah bobs approval makes her look so much better!!! Come on Bob, she doesn’t need your help to make her look bad, she does it all on her own.

It's fucking June, who's still this butthurt about Toys r' Us?

Or, maybe TnR was a store that died because the market evolved passed needing a dedicated physical toy store when Amazon, Walmart, etc can do those jobs? Or is the market not supposed to evolve when it doesn’t hurt wasteland ghouls?

Well Bob is the worse kind of Star Wars "fan". I say this in quotes because I highly doubt he was much of a fan until Disney and Kennedy started pandering to his politics.

 

[The Crow]

Looked around but couldn't find these (i wanted to see if he got any pushback). Did tje furer erase these tweets like he desires to the midwest?

Nope, those tweets are still there.

Bob's the kind of individual who, even when he begins to make a point I even slightly agree with (in this case that Star Wars fans can be massively autistic, melodramatic faggots), he still manages to come off like a complete and utter prick. Yeah, it sucks to get shit on that much on social media even if you did nothing to bring it on yourself, but Blob only cares about it inasmuch as he can use it as ammunition against his perceived enemies.

Also, didn't he make really insensitive remarks about Zack Snyder's daughter's suicide? In which case, he's also a hypocrite.

MovieBob is fighting a war. He feels confident enough to openly advocate for the destruction of the Wasteland Ghouls because he thinks there will never be any consequences for his actions. And it's funny, because in the event that Shit Ever Hit the Fan, and each region of the country were taken over by Trump-hatted, Evangelical Christian redneck warlords, Bob would be the guy who grovels and denounces his own side the most, hoping to weasel himself into a senior position in the Warlord's retinue. He'd probably join the church and become the "Minister of Heresy", rooting out anyone who dared speak against the glorious Christian God who anointed the mighty Warlord and who is the Source of his authority.

Bob himself would probably have no problem openly admitting that this is what he would do, thinking he's being clever by showing how much he'd bend and shift in order to fit with the times. It's too bad he's left all of this Twitter evidence of his mendacity behind him...

A quick visit to Wikipedia reveals that the NIka riots burned or destroyed half the city of Constantinople and killed tens of thousands of people. Gamergate meanwhile was an internet slapfight that left tens of thousands of soyboys and dangerhairs with PTSD.

A quick visit to Wikipedia reveals that the NIka riots burned or destroyed half the city of Constantinople and killed tens of thousands of people. Gamergate meanwhile was an internet slapfight that left tens of thousands of soyboys and dangerhairs with PTSD.

Constantinople is kind of a pet interest of mine, and when I heard this "Nika Riots = Gamergate" thing I just had to dig a little deeper. Rowan Kaiser ("Who?") posted this in the run-up to his awesomely stupid conclusion:

There are a number of problems with this, apart from the jaw-dropping narcissism and lack of perspective required to equate Gamergate with a 1500 year old riot that killed over 30,000 and whose exact causes vex historians to this day. Rowan Kaiser -- and of course, Bob, who is apparently incapable of any analysis that is not self-flattering -- fails to take into account the years of tribalism, factionalism, and tangled politics that led to the Blue/Green rivalry. (There's a reason complex politics are called Byzantine.) It also reveals a grossly chauvinistic modern myopia: historical riots have been sparked by everything from sporting contests to paintings, not to mention my favorite one of all, the one that gave birth to the NYPD, the Astor Place Riots, which were sparked by an argument over who was the greatest American stage actor, William MacCready or Edwin Forrest. (It was Forrest, you heathen.)

The spark that set off such riots generally is only the final snowflake in a blizzard, igniting years, decades, or centuries of bad will that has festered over time. The Nika Riots were no different, and were even more complex in their roots than either of these two chuckleheads care to indicate, as even a cursory amount of research would reveal. Of course that's difficult to get into on Twitter (there may be no worse medium to discuss the politics of Constantinople), but this is all nothing but especially pinheaded chinjawing so they can piss on fans who are irritated by the ongoing Star Wars trainwreck and continue to wave the tattered Gamergate banner. The fact that Gamergate didn't kill anyone (except Brianna Wu's dog, and whose fault was that?) just goes to show how ridiculous this whole spew of nonsense is.

But by Bob's lights ... he's on to something. *strokes chin, tries to look thoughtful behind thick black pedoglasses*

There is no word for stupidity this deep.

If you'll permit me to play devil's advocate for a moment, he and Bob may be on to something- at least in the sense that Gamergate didn't emerge ex nihilo, but rather that the revelation of the (partial) extent of the corruption and incest within the industry was the straw that broke the camel's back, uniting long inchoate dissatisfaction under a (relatively) singular banner.
...but really, all that means is what you've said: that this stuff doesn't come out of nowhere, and actual confrontation emerges only after the groundwork has been laid for it. Which is true of basically every conflict everywhere ever. In fact, one could argue that Gamergate was the precise opposite of the Nika riots, in the sense that instead of there being two rival factions with a constantly ratcheting rivalry, instead there was one faction (GamesJournoPros et al) against whom a number of other factions (atheists, autists, MRAs, etc.) united.

 

[Foltest]

Anyone who compare the Nika Riots to fucking Gamergate is not only a moron, he show a distance for history.

 

[Walter Temple]

I've been needing to get this out of me for like 3 months. I haven't had the outlet until you used the word and I need this so give me a bit.

This fucking dogwhistle term being appropriated for political purposes has to be the most fucking grating thing I've noticed in discourse...basically ever.

Every fucking sperg on Twitter discovered "dogwhistle" and now thinks they've unlocked the fucking Rosetta Shitting Stone of politics. When in reality all anyone is doing is just slapping their own preferred motive onto someone else's words.

Everything Trump says is racist. Everything. What? You want me to give you examples? No fuck you, you have to be in tune with his dogwhistle language! He called all Mexican immigrants animals! No he wasn't talking about MS-13 he was dogwhistling!

Oh! Hillary Clinton once said "Superpredators"! She was talking about black people, clearly! Dogwhistling!

No one actually wants to argue at face value anymore. They've discovered this magic spell of dogwhistling so you can just claim that what someone else said is secretly evil!

There is some irony here.

Ever since being repeatedly hammered by people on his own side for what he claims was a joke in poor taste, Bob has been extremely careful to never again actually say the word "eugenics."

Howe'er, he frequently employs (cracks knuckles for Social Justice Vocabulary) "eliminationist rhetoric," such as "obsolete trash people," "deservedly left behind by the Superior Future," and wondering aloud if progressives could literally be considered a different species from conservatives. This allows him to snidely claim that he did not actually say what it's obvious he was saying, in a manner most disingenuous. "Out of context, Friendo!"

Bob is TRANSPARENTLY dogwhistling.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

Having never heard of the Nika riots until literally just now, I would like to know more. I'm pretty sure my Googling will be insufficent so if anyone has a good link or something to explain this stuff, shoot me a PM.

I can't wait until a few years from now, when times have changed sufficiently, and he has to deny or DFE out of his history. The ultimate laugh will be Bob pretending to become an apostate to Shillaryism.

It's odd that Bob gets defensive or ignores comments about that instead of deploying the explanation he's used once in a blog post. If I remember right he claimed that killing the "obsolete" is morally wrong but he does support society heavily disfavoring them to avoid future generations and generally isolating them from "Americans Who Matter".....which oddly includes Mexican citizen he sees as America's inevitable future. In return, they'd be compensated with welfare for their compliance.

Chances are he only came up with that because of the flak he gets for direct "Kill 'em all" but at least it'd be a slightly different kind of genocidal rant.

Rowan Kaiser was an IGN journalist who lost a lot of credibility thanks to Gamergate. He bitched about TotalBiscuit being able to sell games and wanted him blacklisted, prompting John to put him on blast on a Soundcloud file.
