i don't get why twitter hashtags are newsworthythe amount of people who are going to go through with this boycott isn't even large enough to make a dent in the box office numbers and all the news media is doing is giving these people a megaphone to spew their idiocy at this point

or let it die quietly instead of broadcasting it to people who otherwise wouldn't have thought about participating in it and thus perpetuating this kind of nonsense

What was even the beef again? Was it the director saying the Empire is a white supremacist organization in his headcanon?
if you don't think giving the alt-right more exposure and therefore more followers is a bad thing then i guess it isn't, but that's also just your opinion
people should instead be boycotting it because its a garbage movie

Yeah, it's not great, but not garbage. Unless, of course, you are a part of the alt right and are attempting to have people join your boycott.

Unless, of course, you are a part of the alt right and are attempting to have people join your boycott. rogue one does nothing interesting or new with the ip. its not worth caring about. just like garbage. thats my definition. there aren't varying degrees of it -- there's just garbage.that being said i dont legitimately care if anyone sees the movie or not. i would rather not take some of my very little free time and money to go see it, but thats just me.
Yes, in response to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s diverse cast and female lead, the alt-right is boycotting the movie
What is "Alt-right" though? It was just /pol/, but then mainstream media called it alt-right. Then people started to claim to be leaders of the alt-right, but the alt-right is /pol/, so there are no leaders. It's just shitposting.

It's just shitposting."Alt-right" was in common circulation well before the media caught on to it.Alt-right is simply an umbrella term for "alternative" conservatism, or any right-wing ideology that doesn't fall under the conventional or classical definitions of conservatism/republicanism. This includes libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, and fascism. And autism.
Okay, but how are there leaders? Like I said, it's just /pol/.
