Star Wars

I'm sure there's some, but most of the criticism seems to come from people who just straight-forwardly aren't enjoying the show as much as you.

I hope that's the case. Honestly, I got triggered this morning by watching Star Wars Theory's reaction to it. I was looking at his chat which was saying things like, "not a single man in sight...", some homophobic stuff, and just incredibly toxic shit about how "woke" the entire thing was.

I really liked the ascension scene and wanted to share a YouTube link of it with my mum (wanted to show here how they utilized Indian classical music beautifully there). All videos that I came across were just about how "wokeness killed star wars", "how we must rescue star wars from wokeness" and stuff like that.

If something is supposed to be cringe, it's up to the creators to find a way to indicate that to the audience, otherwise it's taken at face value.

Perhaps. I think we're just in the "are the curtains blue because the artist wanted to show a depressed environment or is it just because the artist liked the color blue" system. Andor's expression was very explicit (which is not bad of course. It's just a style of expression). I think Acolyte's expression is a bit more implicit.

Again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Not liking Acolyte because of plot and stuff like that is alright. But not liking simply because it's "woke" is just fkin infuriating.
