Ignorant Responses To 'Rogue One' In The Comments Section

The YouTube comments section is always the best place to spot the sexists, racists, and homophobes.

Rouge One: A Star Wars Story released just a week ago to critical acclaim and commercial success. A riveting story that flows right in Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope featuring a racially diverse cast portraying multi-layered characters makes the film one of the better entries in the series.


Flashback to a couple months ago when Rogue One trailers were still being released to promote the film: not everyone was excited. Thanks to TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) on Twitter, some of the rather ignorant comments have been turned into sarcastic and ironic taglines for the film. Get ready to cringe…


1. Men In Space Only

My friend, you seem to be forgetting about Princess of Alderaan, later General, Leia Organa, a Rebel Alliance leader that led the battle of Endor and is now the head of the Resistance against the First Order. And Padme Amidala, former queen of Naboo, now a politician on the Galactic Senate that fought in the battles of Naboo and Geonosis, two of the biggest battles of the Clone Wars. And Rey, who’s literally the protagonist of the sequel trilogy, piloted the Millennium Falcon and evaded the FIrst Order, and defeated Kylo Ren with absolutely no Jedi training. Seriously, are you blind?


2. Women Can’t Survive In Space

“That’s just science.” Um. I want to see every experiment complete with every step of the scientific method checked off proving that women can’t survive in space. Especially considering the fact that we’ve already sent women to space in our world. Multiple times.


3. Liberal PC Nonsense In Space

If I’m interpreting “PC” to stand for “Person of Color,” then I must say that including multiple people of color in one of the biggest franchises ever does not make it “liberal person of color nonsense in space.” It makes it “equality in space.” Good try though!


4. It Will Be Full Of Gays

Well, considering that the writers are heavily deliberating on who to make their first LBGT+ character in the Star Wars universe (everyone’s pulling for Finn or Poe - or both!), yeah, it will be filled with gays next! And we can’t wait!


5. Women In The Kitchen

I’m actually disappointed in the lack of creativity in this one… “Women belong in the kitchen?” That’s seriously the BEST you can come up with? Give me a break and go make your own damn sandwich.


6. Grief Over The Force Awakens

Again… WE HAVE ALREADY PUT WOMEN IN SPACE. MULTIPLE TIMES. Not to mention the fact that Star Wars doesn’t take place exclusively in space. There are MANY MOMENTS when the characters are fighting on the ground of a planet!!! OMG!!!


7. Feminist Propaganda

Again, having people of color in the film doesn’t make it “liberal pc nonsense,” just as having a woman be a lead in a film doesn’t make it feminist propaganda. Plus, put Rey and Jyn, two determined, rebellious, yet kind souls juxtaposed next to the whiny, bratty, petulant and stubborn Luke… is a female hero seriously that painful for you?


Another day spent battling for social justice online, though I doubt any of the people that actually wrote these comments on YouTube will ever actually see these. Now it’s your turn: go see Rogue One to piss off a homophobe, a misogynist, and a racist today!!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
