/sw/ - Star Wars★

>Star Wars has been hit with a backlash following a report claiming that 96 percent of its universe writers and directors have been white men.

It would be a real shame if they were to do something about that :'^)

<reddit: "lol, who isn't making a starwars movie right now?"

<me: "literally any women."

11 movies, all written and directed by men. smhtbhfam 😔😌😒

It's almost like women don't like science fiction, war, mysticism, and action movies. It's almost like when a female gets in the position to direct she has something else on her mind than filling the screen with lasers, death troopers, laser swords, and explosions… I mean it doesn't make sense because we all know women and men are exactly the same and gender is just a construct, the feminists told me so.

>"Soy Wars hit with a backlash"

<It's just one shitty article from a female tv blogger.

>science fiction

Who is Ursula le Guin? Who is Diane Duane? Who is Lois Bujold? Who was the first fucking writer on Empire, Leigh Brackett?

>mysticism

What are nuns? Who writes a good chunk of the New Age stuff?

Action and war, though, not their field, true. But seriously nigger, be specific next time.

>Who was the first fucking writer on Empire

george lucas. leigh brackett wrote "star wars 2" which was a very different film and the only bits lucas used from it wer hoth, bespin (he swapped the planets' names) and wampas.

>>10116

Okay, one of the writers. You still see the point I'm (sleepily) trying to make.

>>10121

all your point does is prove that very few women get scifi or truly like it. leigh brackett wrote her draft of star wars 2, died, then george trashed it and started over and made empire with lawrence kasdan.

>>10122

>very few women authors get sci-fi

Fixed. Still not buying the general "X don't do X," having grown up in an environment filled with these sorts of people of either sex, who'd been a part of science fiction since long before the 90s. Comparatively few, I'll buy. Vanishingly rare, I won't. Seriously, either I'm lucky, many of you jackasses are unlucky, or both are happening at once.

>>10103

Sorry I triggered you by not putting a "not all" hashtag on my post. You just listed four women, I can list men working on sci-fi for a year or so and not be done.

>>10133

Off the top of my head. And no, /r9k/-tier grumbles seldom come off as more useful than general complaints about the state of the world. Besides, I grew up with Duane's books and still enjoy them in the present, so you couldn't be wholly right in any case. Put it down to 'tism, if you like. I'm not in the right mood for a good spat right now in any case.

>>10127

I'm honestly curious if the apparently tons of women you've met who are in to nerdy shit were all as nerdy as you seem to think. There's a difference between a chick who will watch Star Wars and a chick who will call you up one day asking if you want to be in a Star Wars Tabletop Role-Playing game they're running. I honestly don't think I've met any of the latter group, though I've met plenty of the former.

There are (((nerds™))) and there are nerds.

>I grew up with Duane's books and still enjoy them in the present, so you couldn't be wholly right in any case

<1 woman wrote sci-fi so clearly you're wrong when you say most women don't like sci-fi

Stop being a fagggot. Seriously nigger, stop it. Right now you're arguing on the side of "gender is just a social construct" and you look so fucking retarded.

>>10137

The latter. Quite a few of them were authors as well, though I can't speak the quality of all of them.

>most women

Don't try to weasel out of this, faggot (two 'g's, don't sperg out too hard). You said 'women' period. As in "all." As in "there can be no deviation from this." I didn't say 'most' either, so I'll appreciate it if you don't try to distort what I'm saying. Congratulations, you got me annoyed enough to respond.

>Don't try and weasel out of this

So now when someone makes a general statement they have to stress, for autists like you, that they don't mean everyone or you'll spaz the fuck out on them.

Fun but not what I come to the board for. Push your identity politics somewhere else.

>>10127

sorry bud but the anon is right. girls who play video games and watch the movies aren't nerds, and take it all at face value without any feel to go beyond unless it garners them attention.

>>10142

>autism

That's what I told you before you sperged out.

>identity politics

Oh please. If I was one of them, I'd be rattling off a bunch of names (most of them known SJWs) instead of bickering over semantics with you. Whatever. Nothing gained, nothing harmed, just time wasted. As usual.

>>10145

Shut up Sheev. This pissing contest was between the two of us. Your post is as good as a "Yeah, he's right" in the scheme of things.

>>10148

>before you sperged out

So this >>10103 wasn't you sperging out?
