No. But I should. Probably time to start.

Read some of the other tweets. Not surprised at the attitude. Also clearly demonstrated priority by swinging around a massive sales cock before getting to the people. Money > people.

GenX continues to not exist.

I hate being thanked. It's not why I put on a uniform. I did it because I believed in the need, even if not always how the military is used.

I never got cigarette. More notes of a dog's rancid ball sweat.

You are completely discounting accidental racism. Every person at every level involved could have had no bad intentions and still have the sum total be so.

All that said, you didn't mention the actual problem with the movie that led to the commentary... total shitty dumpster fire levels of writing.

George Lucas has always been clear that a major influence on Star Wars was old serials like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. You know what was extremely common in those old serials? Racist stereotypes for villains and racist stereotypes for side kicks, also often cartoonish buffoons.

Again, not saying he was intentionally racist, but with the lack of quality writing skills, it's clear he fell back to tropes from his favourite stories from his childhood. Those tropes usually horribly racist. A better writer could have done better with those tropes.

30 instead of 21 if I remember right.

That's why I stopped using those sites. The only reseller I buy from now is Humble Bundle, but most things I just buy direct from the Steam Store.
