So, TheForce.net has got to be one of the most hilariously sensitive, whiny communities I've ever seen. Not only is there a thread with 9,000+ replies titled "Ignorance is Bias: The Diversity Manifesto", but I recently found this gem. I've taken some screenshots of the highlights.

So, to summarize how this came about: There's a discussion on how in AoTC, it doesn't make sense that Padme has such a subdued reaction to Anakin stating he murdered an entire village of Tusken Raiders. One guy, Gallandro, says that in Star Wars, because the settlers are so often the victims of the Tusken's brutal raids, the settlers see the Tuskens as less than human (or sentient beings or whatever). This is supported by Cliegg Lars referring to the Sandpeople as "animals". Which, to be honest, I can understand. Sandniggers Tusken Raiders haven't proven themselves to be the most compassionate people. It's also important to note that another user, Saga Explorer, agrees with Gallandro and comments on the matter.

So anyway, these guys say that if the settlers see the Tuskens as animals, and because Padme has been speaking exclusively with the Lars family, to her Anakin killing the village is basically the same as killing a pack of wolves. He didn't say such thinking was justified, Gallandro merely attempted to explain Padme's subdued reaction to Anakin's confession. And my gosh, the butthurt and #triggering that ensued...

Here's an album of the highlights. It's mainly the comments of two mods, but their posts have a lot of likes, indicating many agree with them.

Again, allow me to remind you that these users, Gallandro and SagaExplorer, never said such thinking was justified, they only attempted to explain why the pacifist Padme didn't flip out. Yet, the mods and others react as though these guys said Hitler was justified. A guy's comments about a fictional species in Star Wars spiraled into a serious discussion on the sanctity of life and the rights of sentient beings, with the mods saying the statements of the users are "gross". Given that this is the same community that had people referring to the Plinkett reviews as "PROPAGANDA" (in all caps too), this doesn't surprise me. Honestly if I didn't know any better, you could tell me this was a Star Wars discussion on Tumblr and I would probably believe you.

Here's the thread, around the beginning of the debate if you're willing to delve into the autism: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/star-wars-aftermath.50028106/page-29

So yeah. What experiences have you had with sensitive communities or users on the internet?

Tusken Raiders = ISIS

The truth revealed.

Link to the highlights is dead.

Fixed it I think.

But... they aren't human. They're a fictional murderous group of subhuman scum in a fictional movie.

Holy shit these people. If anything they're racist for saying "replace Tusken Raiders with black/Jewish etc" because Tusken Raiders are subhuman, so replacing them with specific races of PEOPLE is fucking racist.

B-Bu-But the rights of sentient beans!

And it's not like he killed them for fun. He was avenging his mother.

I also love how the CooperTFN dumbass states that he wouldn't think it would be justified if the Tuskens were 100% non-sentient animals. So if Anakin actually had killed a bunch of wolves he would be a monster in the eyes of this idiot.

Wow, people are taking Star Wars apart to find stuff from nothing.

Jesus, it's a film series

And a pretty apolitical one at that. The entirety of Star Wars' socio-political message essentially amounts to "totalitarianism is bad".

Bump.

So what he killed them?

Maybe Padme fucking hates bandits like the rest of everyone that's ever encountered bandity people.

The OP has a very good point (On the star wars site) Tusken Raiders hardly deserve QQs and sympathy. They killed his mum so he went and slaughtered them all, it's not like he could go and make a formal complaint to the space-desert patrol police who could lock all of them up to serve some sort of sentence.

Kill 'em all and let god sort them out.

Guys I think we need to send Mr. Psychologist an impassioned plea for the rights of sentient beans.

 I'd have done what Anakin did. But I'd have killed Lars and his family too for not trying hard enough. Then I would have killed the Jedi for not seeing this beforehand and for not having me in their best interests. Then I'd kill the chancellor for also not protecting my last family member. I'd probably kill Padme too for being a whiney bitch.

If Tuskens are arabs...

Does that mean jews are...

oink oink

does that make Jabba the Hutt... God?

No Jabba is Judas for trying to kill Luke who is Jesus.

So that means the Rancor and Sarlac is the Romans...

but just because they both died from asphyxiation doesn't mean they symbolize the same person.

Who's to say Luke was even the good guy? The emperor brought order to the Galaxy and actually minimized corruption by being corruption. Other corruptions couldn't corrupt that corruption, know what I mean?
And Luke fgt over here was a disruption, trying to disrupt this corrupt corruption.
In the end his corrupt father was the final interruption to the corruption that was the order of the Galaxy. All like did was disrupt and interrupt the corrupt. But You know, Vader did "touch it last" so he gets credit.

I go on that site, but only frequent the Star Wars TV section. Everywhere else seems to be filled with autistic people.

Those highlights are pretty tame.

They're getting worked up and expressing moral outrage and disgust in response to someone's statements regarding fucking Tusken raiders.
