Today I briefly, accidentally blocked a long time IRL friend's Twitter account and I found myself wondering if I should have just left it that way. With the final Star Wars movies looking on the horizon he has begun to (unknowingly, I hope) parrot all the racist/sexist hate toward the new movies by fans who have been upset ever since the movies diversified their cast. I cannot say a word about Star Wars without launching him into a tirade, which basically means I can't talk about it on any social media because he follows me on all of them. I don't even particularly LIKE Star Wars, but I appreciate the new movies for their efforts to appeal to a larger audience that isn't just young white men and be about more than just war fantasies set in space.
