CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however,

Twitter is a sewer, especially for anyone famous or controversial. Good on her for leaving.

Frankly I enjoyed star wars as a kid, as much as I enjoyed any sci-fi stuff as a kid, and moved onto other things.
This sort of behavior does nothing to change my mind that a series that is basically sci-fi for children.

Agreed...nothing wrong with her or her acting, but the character felt completely tacked on.

The fans don't like the new direction of star wars and get insulted for it, and they wonder why Soylow was a bomb.

The "fans" said the same thing about the prequels and many of the people that were kids when those movies were made have fond memories of the film. The manchildren are a different story, they believe the world rotates around their infantile desires and lash out at anything different. Solo is doing poorly likely because it's a film no one wants, feels like a naked cash grab, and is probably so generic that it's simply not entertaining.
Nonetheless, fans targeting specific actors whether it is Kelly Marie Tran (or the bullying Jake Lloyd endured pre-social media) are becoming an increasing problem. Fandom used to be something encouraged, but more and more it is becoming a toxic world for the most extreme.

When you spit in the faces of the fans, expect backlash. It is good and OK, no. But it is a given.

No one spit in anyone's face, that's just how manchildren see the world, they think everything should be for them and if it's not the perfect thing they had in their head, they throw a temper tantrum. The other problem is they lack the proper skills to express themselves, so they go online where they are encouraged to be racist and misogynistic pigs. If they were going to have a backlash, they could have gone after the director, but these are manchildren, they don't operate based on any kind of logic.

When the new trilogy was announced, we had the opportunity to get the original Han, Luke and Leia back on screen, in their iconic roles, to put an end cap on the series.
An incredible opportunity to salute a major piece of Americana culture.
And they completely blew it. And now that Carrie's dead, it's forever gone.
That's the major issue people are having with Disney star wars.

If they don't like it, they don't have to watch. I like the James Cameron Terminator films, everything else afterward has been horrible. I haven't watched all of them, but I am fine simply liking the first two films. If they make a bad movie, I'm not going to seek out Emilia Clarke and start harassing her because I thought she ruined Linda Hamilton's character.
We get it, you think the movies are a disappointment and have squandered an opportunity, but to turn that into some kind of backlash is the height of entitlement. You didn't like it, move on. And that's the problem with manchildren, they can't move on (which makes sense since child/baby is part of their name).

How do you know she's rich? Just because she was in a movie that made a lot of money doesn't mean she's rich.

Except they expressly bought the franchise with the stated purpose of making movies for the fans. Fans were lied to, and are angry.
Myself, I get more entertainment from the backlash than I ever did the movies.
