Actually Star Wars fans aren’t that bad
Someone downvoted you for that opinion. I don’t even know where the stereotype comes from. Every star wars fan I’ve seen just wants to talk about Star wars. They’re not toxic or anything in my experience, they’re just really into star wars.
There’s a reason that the term “Fandom Menace” and the saltierthancrait subreddit are things.
As a fan since the 80’s, and a woman, I’ve seen my fair share of toxicity, but nothing will compare to the level it’s gotten since the release of the sequels. I also hated the sequels, but goddamn the level of hate towards the actors themselves was just awful. There were many valid technical reasons to criticize those movies - diversity wasn’t one of them.
It’s definitely made us all look like idiots regardless if you were a part of the drama or not.
Sure, it kind of goes with the characterisation. Most ex-Star Wars fans are a sour lot though. Why can’t they just accept that one era is over and the franchise is in a different place. Sure I’m sad that the style of Star Wars I grew up with is not only over, but actively being dismantled. But that’s been going on for close to 30 years.
It’s a simple fix for grown-ups: There hasn’t been any Star Wars movies made since the 80’s. And if you subjectively disagree, you’re objectively wrong as per any fandom law.
If they wanted a good fanbase, they need to make good content. Unfortunately the last good movie was released in 1983.
Naw, Rogue One was passable, never mind the few dumb fan service quips. Andor is straight up good. Mando was acceptable.
The rest? Yeaaahh… Disney has added little quality to the universe. At least George expanded the universe in ways that felt natural to the universe, even if he did it like a huge dork.
Disney keeps pulling a Hollywood and making things about grand spectacle with the thinnest of stories and actual plot holes everywhere. It’s … genuinely sad to see a multi BILLION dollar company squander and shit on such an expensive IP. You’d think they’d at least understand they paid a shitload for it and shouldn’t devalue it with garbage productions.
I also liked Rogue One. At least it wasn’t straight up stupid. Andor was amazing. Mandalorian had a promising start then caved to cuteness.
Everything else since Disney bought Star Wars has been forgettable.

DOTA fans are worse.
I thought it was swifties or k-pop fans.
Have you seen the acolyte? Their anger is justified.
Jar-Jar did nothing wrong!
You mean Darth Jar Jar?
Is mercury really one of the most toxic substances? I used to play around with it as a kid.
By itself maybe not. But dimethilmercury is scary AF.
Same and I’ve honestly wondered if it’s had lasting damage for awhile now.
Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.
Thank you!

It is toxic
Not sure what degrees of toxicity are measured in,like is there a Richter scale of toxicity
I tried to think of a witty measurement but it’s late and I’ve had a hard day so I’m going to bed instead.
Imagine being a fan of any multinational fan fiction group. Lmao
