There's a vast difference between making a comment on the ship and saying Finn should've 'laid the pipe' to Rey. One is an opinion, the other makes you sound like your character just wanted to fuck Rey.
nobody on era actually gives a fuck someone used the term 'laying pipe' - because there's yet another fucking star wars thread talking about creaming the twinkie on the front page right fucking now.The threads only existence is to get people riled up, get reports flowing, and get some bans out of it.Happy fucking new year restarea, you absolute fucking dregs of human sputum.
Well then it sure is a good thing he didn't say that to a woman then isn't it? He made the comment about a fictional character that does not exist. Not to Daisy Ridley.
can you people not disregard the thing because rey is a "fictional character"thats a slippery slope >_>

Why the fuck is there an American embassy in Iraq?
Because America is heavily invested in the Iraqi government since the invasion?
The timing seems WAY too convenient. Smells false-flag-y.
Just call it an intuition. A new years eve siege on the US embassy in Iraq creates a crisis that would be all too beneficial to Trump in his time of great weakness and vulnerability as a recently impeached president, staring down the barrel of a Senate conviction. I recon we'll someday learn about an orchestration with Iran to manufacture the whole thing. There is precedent for these types of actions from the Trump admin, as we all know.
yeah i agree with what you just said. dont think is a big issue.BUT...saying is a "fictional character" so it doesnt matter. its a slippery slopeeeeeee
I do think on some level people are being a bit obtuse to try and pretend that sexualizing a fictional character isn't at least sort of sexualizing the real flesh and blood person who looks exactly like the character because they play them.

When I was a kid, my neighbor's house was burned down from a falling firework that another neighbor had shot off.
I will pissed too if I was demoted from being the main male lead to doing Uncle Tomfoolery. He should have been the main character, btw. He was the best part of Force Awakens and his chemistry with Poe and Rey was good enough. Finn should ended the trilogy as a Jedi.
Fuck the Telegraph.
Yeah fuck the Telegraph
i wasn't aware that telegraph is problematic. should i ask for the thread to be locked?
It is a right leaning newspaper (UK Right not US Right). To my knowledge it is no more than that although I don't read any of the UK Newspapers they are all terrible.
More like the Torygraph
They have Farage and Johnson frequently write in the paper.
This paper is a Tory propaganda machine, like most major papers in the UK at the moment. There’s a reason it’s referred to as the Torygraph.
They’re just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Tory/right wing political editorial representation in the Telegraph tbh.
They used to be right leaning, now they're bordering on far right loonies. I personally feel that they don't deserve their own thread (in the same way the Daily Mail wouldn't if they did a list) but others may feel differently
The Telegraph is nothing but far right trash these days, a propaganda paper for the Tories.
i did ask for the thread to be locked, but it was rejected. i now feel bad for making the thread
It’s a conservative newspaper so you might get accused of supporting bigotry. Wait for a sanctioned list.
Any attempt for them to appeal to a younger audience shouldn’t be signal boosted imo. Better that they die with their ageing readership.
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATIONIt's okay to discuss the article linked in the OP and it's okay to discuss how problematic The Telegraph is in this thread: the latter will not be considered off topic for the purposes of moderation.

Quotelmao it seems like boyega is over this star wars shitI don't blame him, racists were out to get him as soon as they saw him take off that Storm Tropper helmet
lmao it seems like boyega is over this star wars shit
I mean, there's a big difference between having personal feelings and putting it out there in public, especially when it's about a co-worker (and the 'but Rey isn't a real person' argument doesn't really hold water) where it can make people uncomfortable. I also think, while it's also less problematic due to our patriarchal society, the tweets from women about various Marvel stars are a little off-putting and weird as well, but it'd be even weirder and more off-putting if say, Brie Larson made a thirst tweet about say, Sebastian Stan, for obvious reasons.
I don't think it's cool to put people down like that, I don't think anyone has a negative intention if they characterize things in a way you disagree with, I don't think it's coming from a bad place to be concerned about objectification and stuff.
It just seems like kind of a reach for me personally because that's not how I look at media. I worked in pro wrestling for years, so I'd like to think I have a good grasp on the distinction between a character and the individual, but maybe you're right in that some people may not be able to make that distinction.

Nearly all of the racism is targeted at Kelly Marie Tran not Boyega in my experience.

This is true explicitly in the comments that led to her quitting Instagram and social media. Same with Leslie Jones in Ghostbusters. That's the loud version of racism.The room volume version of it is a little more subtle. The Canto Bight scene is the rorschach test. That is the heart of the movie, it's why the coda returns to the Canto Bight stables to show what Luke was teaching us -- the Force is everywhere and within everyone and no one can claim the Force any more than they can claim Life -- the bad guys will try, but they'll never win in the long run. It's an exciting sequence, in a new and imaginative world, where we get a perspective on class differences in the SW universe in the most direct way since Episode 1. In the long view of the saga, the stable kids call back to Anakin and Luke and Rey who each came from versions of poverty. In the short view of it, they're hunting for a macguffin in a casino -- half of the Bond movies have used a version of this scene, but here we're in Star Wars so it's fun weird aliens. What's not to like, I don't see it? It seems to me the reason people think it's pointless, or boring, or whatever complaint I've never seen a particularly good argument against the scene other than "I didn't like it" and what reason is there really other than it's Rose leading us through it?
The fact that people are genuinely trying to take this comment and use it to paint Boyega as unprofessional and sexist is fucking ridiculous.What is it with people's rampant desire to absolutely bury a good person over next to nothing?

Quote from: Randomdude Because it’s totally sexism and not a sarcastic joke at all and we’re totally a ok going after this black guy for his harsh comments and totally not racist an any way shape form or suggestion.So, if it's OK for black men to make harsh sarcastic jokes about women, then it should be totally OK for women to make racist jokes about black guys, as long as they're sarcastic and if you criticiaze them alll, that just proves you're a sexist, right?

Plenty of people in this thread seem to think repeating 'racist' over and over again makes something racist.
I just want to know - if BlackERA has seemingly agreed that it's totally OK to talk about 'laying the pipe' to any woman and that it's not sexist at all, after all.
Imagine being in a "shipping community" fucking LOL.

Saying something sexual about a fictional character is the same as being racist against real people.

Star Wars was a mistake, what is happening in this thread lmao
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATIONThere is a conversation to be had about the intersectionality of how black men are disproportionately targeted for comments that are otherwise perceived as innocuous, and for how women are made to feel about objectification.This thread has demonstrated a severe lack of nuance with regards to this conversation, and it has now been hopelessly derailed beyond salvaging.
And thread closed. Who is going to win? Morrigan and her Tumblerinas or Slayven and BCT ?
