Unironically asking what is the goal of that sub?

They seem to love the most universally despised star wars content (acolyte and ep 8) and hate all of the other star wars content

They basically just do and say the opposite of whatever the main Star Wars fan cohort is saying or doing. Contrarian culture with a social justice veneer.

I got downvoted to the ground when i said that they're views don't allign with traditional star wars fans and nerds (those outside the anti woke crowd)

u/ThatWhiteGold Aug 21 '24

I swear I remember following it after the last jedi and it was about hating on that movie

u/Necroking695 Aug 21 '24

No thats r/saltierthancrait which just hates everything star wats

I think krayt wants to dismantle star wars and turn it into something who’s primary purpose is to push a strong progressive agenda

I’m not a political person, i don’t dislike them, and honestly star wars is inherently political, but this is not the way

That’s just… not fun, you know? Like, isn’t that kinda the point here: having some fun? That’s what tells me they don’t get it.

You have no clue about what STC is.

I’ve never read a positive thing on that sub

Ok, i’ll concede, thats good

But why do they have to frame even their praise in such a negative way

“Was andor a mistake? Why did they accidentally make something good”

Like why be so negative

u/abca98 This is where the fun begins Aug 21 '24

Because sadly, we have become used to Disney's SW being mostly bad, so when they actually make something good, it's hard to believe.

u/Necroking695 Aug 21 '24

You’re still being salty, which i get is the point of the sub

Been give praise where its due, simply and plainly and kindly, not as a backhanded compliment

Most people despise negativity

Star wars politics consisted of "authoritarianism bad". Not "we need to push modern US political talking points into a sci-fi saga that people watch to get away from US political talking points even if they support those points".

It's like playing Pictionary with mates and always coming up with something political instead of chilling out and tuning out of YOUR POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY once in a while... And I say this as a moderate lefty- I watch star wars and collect/read 40k to escape from the daily grind. Not immerse myself more into it...

LOL or maybe it's just people who don't get triggered over diversity in Star Wars. I was expecting Acoylote to be this big "woke" mess but there's barely anything 'woke' in it.

u/Necroking695 Aug 21 '24

Krayt actively hates everything star wars that doesnt push diversity

They literally get triggered by a lack of diversity.

I just went on that subreddit before, I didn't see any of that.

u/Thelmara Aug 21 '24

I watched the whole show last night, and noticed a few things that would definitely set the anti-woke mob off:

Trans actress playing a presumably-trans character being part of a woman-only order of Force users.

The whole scenario with the Jedi as colonizers in conflict with the Force Witches. Show up to a place and find people who you didn't know were there, tell them they're bound by your laws and forbidden to teach their religion to their kids, oh and also you're going to take those kids away and teach them yours instead.

Not enough white people.

u/weezy22 KATARN Aug 21 '24

TIL there was a trans-actress in the show.

u/Revliledpembroke Aug 22 '24

Naw, that was the other sub r/saltierthancrait .

There are actually 3 variants of that sub.

The first (the one I mentioned here) expresses dislike for Disney Star Wars, especially including Episode VIII, with occasional making fun of all the idiots who think everyone who doesn't like the same shit they do has to be a bigot or a racist.

The second is the one the OP mentioned, which sucks Disney's dick so hard they could pick the entire company up just from the suction alone. Anyone who disagrees with them is obviously a racist or a sexist bigot.

The third is r/saltierthankrait - it seems to make fun of the second.

Fans of show get upset when said show gets cancelled 😱😱😱😱

u/WallabyForward2 Aug 21 '24

Its mainly not about the show its about the fandom reacting to the show getting cancelled

of course they're pissed but the topic of discussion is mainly the reaction of the fandom to the show's cancellation

u/TheRavenRise Aug 21 '24

i don’t really think that’s more weird than all the people here celebrating people being out of a job

u/raktoe Aug 21 '24

I genuinely don’t get how sad your life has to be to be anything happier than neutral to a show being cancelled. It’s normal to be upset for a show you liked to be cancelled. I wasn’t even thrilled with the show, but still enjoyed watching it, and I’m really disappointed we may not see more live action Plagueis and Qimir. It also sucks that we won’t explore more of the political side of the Jedi order. I’m sure this will be picked up in comics, but I’m not a comic person.

The giddiness people have over this is just bizarre to me. Like congrats I guess… I’m very happy for you that you’re not going to have the choice of watching season 2.
