We've been following with hilarity the progress of the Acolyte, what was billed as a show "packed with LGBT+ talent":
The show introduced pronouns into the Star Wars universe:
It also introduced lesbian space witches!
(That's not even getting into the pure Marxist ideology in the show.)
The end result was, well, somewhat predictable:
And of course, right on cue, the show's star is apparently blaming its demise on those nasty alt-righters or whatever:
[The cancellation was] not a huge shock for me …
For those who aren't aware, there has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced, when it was still just a concept …
That's when we started experiencing a rampage of hyper-conservative bigotry and vitriol, prejudiced hatred and hateful language towards us ...
It brought up a lot for me, a lot about social-political dynamics, a lot about my own value system and how I respond to that hatred, about how I move through the world at large...
In order to be myself, I would have to honor my value system by being vocal...
In spite of the vitriol we received, and the targeted attacks I would say, from the alt-right ...
How predictable.
Blame your garbage failure on "hyper-conservative bigotry" rather than the fact that it was just a bad show.
I kinda get the feeling that Disney isn't going to learn anything from this and is just going to do it again, don't you?
