@@chriscummings4206 Was on that one before I found this one! Don't normally watch through Theory's videos by Paul clearly has a serious problem. Maybe if he didn't listen to Molly so much he might not be caught out like this!
Yep, there is no "civil war." Just some wokesters and bitchivists throwing a tantrum. And now freaking out even more because no one cares. Plus they can see their jobs are on the chopping block. Wokolyte was garbage. Disney Wars had some potential but became garbage. So the journos who were trying to suck on Disney's teat have discovered the money well has gone dry. Congratulations, shills, you outplayed yourselves. Good luck finding a real job.
People that have been complaining about Ewoks instead of Wookies since 1983 have a similar toxic mentality to what is happening with 'The Acolyte' fans. I remember the trolls from the 2000's era.
The online fandom was supposed to view the show. They didnt... Thats why it failed. Thats like 3 million less. And the normies didnt care enough to try it
If Disney wanted the old school fans to watch their “star wars” they should lay off on attacking them and make something that would appeal to them instead.
@@WokeFailsWokeFailsWokeFails TFA is what happens when you give someone who has nothing but disdain for the IP and hates writing part of a "trilogy" rather than his own story free rein. That's why he just broke off every plot line and started writing his own shit. And Kennedy just let him get away with it.
The fact that some of the shills for this show are actually using the argument of "It would have gotten better in season 3/4" is just utterly insane. That would be a hard sell for any investor.
It's not a civil war. It's a small number of activists who have been the tail wagging the dog, for years, who are losing traction. You can't just take over the conversation with 300 highly motivated people who coordinate their efforts, like you could. They're just getting drowned out. They're still far louder than their actual numbers would justify, but they're still being drowned out.
Paul is anti fandom and pro corpo. He's an actual shill. If the fans love something, he will write against it. If the fans hate something, he will defend and attack the critics. He is a massive shill and I have no clue why so many take him serious. I think it's because he does some reports where he does just report the truth from insiders, but whenever there is a chance to defend corpos and go against fans, he will take it every time.
Disagree Star wars fans are all in agreement Disney Star Wars isn't Star Wars and its NON Canon.. And the Fake Fans aka Disney Star wars SHILLS are made Star Wars fans can see through them and ignor them.. We agreed long ago like dont like the Prequals they exsist The Disney Sequals dont
The LGBTQ+ crowd didn't even watch the Acolyte. So the people they made it for didn't even watch it either 😂😂. No one likes this show because it is crap. They didn't even LGBTQ+ properly in the show
Paul Tassi is a disingenuous shill that acts in bad faith. He argued that "diversity" wasn't an issue with Concord whilst simultaneously claiming that the character designs were. He purposefully skips around the fact as to why the designs were so bad just saying that they were plain and bland. As if it isn't readily apparent to anyone with a cursory level of knowledge on the matter that it's obvious the designs were bad in large part because they pander to leftist sensitivities which revolve around what is commonly termed DEI. The guy does everything to carry water for woke ideology.
- Viewership for SW shows has dramatically decreased over the years. - Ever-decreasing quality in the shows. Diminishing returns in the SW shows. - Shows are being canceled, and even Episode 10 might get canceled (Disney knows it might be Indy 5 and be DOA). - SW Toys rot in Ollies, marked down to oblivion, with Hasbro stating they do not wish to renew the contract to make more SW toys since they won't sell. - Money is running out, and some are asking Disney to sell off SW for good. It's not really a SW Civil War. It's pure apathy at this point. There's a petition to renew for another Acolyte season while there's a petition to have the Acolyte removed from Disney SW Canon. Most of the fanbase has walked away, with some not caring if Disney is setting their money on fire. I used to defend Disney SW years ago (similar to SW Theory). Today, Disney doesn't care, and when Theory stated the issues with current SW shows, he got D-Threats for it. I've watched his shows, and he's incredibly professional, knowledgeable of the SW universe, and calm. It's media bullying, pure bullying at this point, and nothing more. In the end, it won't sell a product.
Wasn't Tassi also the person who made a news article about Kill the Justice League, and said that everyone was wrong about SBI being involved and that all the employee's said so? With article's like this from him, it is really making that SBI defense article seem illegitimate. He's probably been lying about gaming for years, it is really starting to feel like.
It would be a war, if it werent that 95% of folk have become apathetic to Star Wars. This is just a competition on who is the "toxic fandom", and the Acolyte fans are winning.
@@pqsnet George Lucas Star Wars also got damaged in thanks. Largely thanks 2 Mark Hamill. Its time for something new in Star Wars not connected 2 any of this
I don’t care anymore, Tassi deserves anything he gets. He uses his platform to slander whoever he wants and crap all over fandoms who just want good stuff.
Disney sacrificed Starwars lore, continuity, and story telling to activism. They were very clear they did not want the hand that fed them, they wanted to cater to a small segment of the population. They were very successful, The Acolyte hit the mark, they nailed it. Now they're angry they got what they wanted. Total insanity.
Star Wars feels like when in history nomadic barbarians invaded fertile lands and drove off or killed the people living there, but since they had no skills or inclination to cultivate themselves everything turned into a barren wasteland.
It’s worse that he writes for Forbes. A magazine that deals in numbers, where he likely read the viewership numbers for this awful show, has seen the financial losses, but chooses to ignore them. Why are people choosing to ignore common sense, and risk their reputation, when it comes to GD Disney?
Screw this "dont release private messages" nonsense. If someone is trying to censor and ruin my ability to support myself I would absolutely release anything I had to ruin them back. Forget this be better stuff, they hit you you hit them twelve times as hard back.
It didn’t sound like they were saying ‘be the better person’ but rather ‘the consequences for you can be so bad it isn’t worth it’ It may depend on the specific contexts involved on if it could go badly for you or not, maybe for public figures it has a chance to fall apart more easily?
Remember the Star Wars prequel movies? How it was a small group of greedy people using robots to fight for them? And that those fighting them were a large group of flesh and blood willing to protect the things they believed important? Or how some of the good soldiers had been tricked by someone else to betray each other? Keep all of that in mind so you can see who is going to use your back as a knife holster. Don't be a clone nor a droid.
War implies it's two forces of equal size, this is more like a revolution where the ones in power look down on the peasants and are upset with them because they refuse to be fed their garbage.
Before Disney's identity politics (muh force is feeemale) took over the series, there wasn't anything even CLOSE to the kind of discourse we've had for the last 10 years.
SWT LITERALLY says do not play these peoples games, do not message them. I mean what else is he suppose to do? His critiques are pretty balanced and have a point. It is not like one of the more "hate content" Acolyte channels. He was also around years before the Acolyte was even a pitiful idea in KK and Headlands creativity bankrupt minds.
Exactly, he never thrown any insults besides calling them stupid thats not being hateful at all.... These people are acting as if he actively hates the LGBTQ crowd, which is NOT true.
The left do this all the time though. They say "let us criticise you, don't reply and take your punishment even if you haven't done anything wrong". Look at the Israel Palestine conflict... they want Israel to lay down their arms, knowing that would lead to the eradication of the Jewish population of the middle east within about 14 days, and would lead to a massive worldwide conflict. They don't care, they just will never admit they are wrong about something.
To my understanding, Star Wars Theory used to be in hopeful defense of Disney Star Wars until he reached across the aisle and had a conversation with Darth Mauler the Long, who encouraged him that--and get ready for this--it is okay to call out bad product as being bad.
News flash: The Acolyte hasn't caused a CIvil War in Star Wars. Almost everybody has nope'd out of Star Warts completely since Last Jedi, starting with the drivelous Force Awakens and now hardly anyone cares anything about Disney's abominations. You need two sides to have a civil war. At best you've got a bunch of Hedlund fans and don't-quite-hate-Kennedy-yet shoulder-shruggers whining at each other.
Internalized misogyny! My favorite gaslighting technique next to internalized white supremacy. I'm gonna miss these phrases when intersectionality is removed from public discourse like a nail from a foot.
The thing to remember is that none of this is reflective of the fandom in real life. Go to any convention, theme park, or comic book store, and people are perfectly willing to chat about Star Wars and consider everybody to equally be a fan whether you are into the latest stuff or not.
2 biggest star wars channels on RU-vid now have a podcast together and have essentially joined forces. Very important as it shows unity, and will scare a lot of people like Tassi away in the future.
Wonder if Acolyte supporters are just struggling with their first prematurely canceled sci-fi show. Old grumps like me EXPECT sci fi shows to be canceled early. We went through Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, & Sarah Connor Chronicles. That's not even counting Futurama on its THIRD revival right now. Good sci fi canceled all the time, especially true for mediocre shows. They want supporting power of many, instead they got mild support of meh-ny.
Don't these companies know that only a small percentage of people are effectively legally allowed to watch these shows.. If your a star wars / marvel fan, and your not paying Disney a monthly fee, it is effectively illegal to watch.. same goes to all the other shows.. The companies are going around the world, prosecuting people for watching... Strange business model . You want to watch a show, say, in the UK that is not legally available, so if you watch it, you go prison.. and it's even worse than that . Odd..
There used to be one or two movie critics per city (depending on how many newspapers they had.) That job has been going extinct since Siskel and Ebert went on TV.
On another level there is also the issue with the sexualisation (including gender confusion and LGBxyz baggage) of Star Wars in The Acolyte that failed to get traction with the fans.
People getting so so angry to the point of violence over a television show is laughable, I have to add clarification. I don’t mean the claim is laughable, I mean, the people would go to the point of violence is ridiculous.
There. is.. no... conflict. The Acolyte is going to rot without me ever having watched it, and that's an end to it. Oh wait, I forgot. I'm not part of the Star Wars fandom.
You're lucky. I watched the whole dumpster fire trying to find anything good and I was amazed at how something with a $180 million dollar budget could get worse and then I watched Rings of Power and realized everything i once loved will be destroyed by DEI
They never seem to ask themselves how these "toxic" reviewers have so much power that they're able to physically prevent 300 million people from watching The Acolyte. First and foremost, Disney way overstimated the popularity of ancillary Star Wars content. The books, comics, and animated series never did the numbers that would make them think a TV show was worth that kind of investment
Till this day I haven’t seen the Disney sequels all the trailers just made me not want to watch them. Then after learning what they do with the Skywalker family ye I’m good they can keep that train wreck to themselves.
I didn't like Theory in the past because after all the shit Disney Star Wars came out, he was still cheering them on and hungry for more. I thought the guy was a shill, but turned out he was just really into Star Wars and didn't seem to be aware of all the things going on behind the scenes to make Disney Star Wars as horrid as it is. Flash forward to him finally losing some of his optimism and beginning to actually notice and criticize Disney for what they are doing. I think at that time a lot of shills thought he sold out to the "alt-right" meanwhile myself and many others realized he wasn't shilling, he was just a superfan and blinded by his love for the franchise. The Acolyte he was extra negative about (rightfully so) so that turned many people against him and seeing as he's the largest SW RU-vidr, he's an easy target for media journalists.
Star Wars Theory constantly tells his viewers not to hate or bully other channels that they may disagree with. He almost always finishes with a statement that says we can disagree but leave it at that. He has never been part of any group or asked for any action from his viewers that would harm anyone else.
They lumped him in with Nerdrotic, Geeks + Gamers, and Ryan Kinel. Thing is, those guys know each other personally and collaborate on videos all the time. I don't know if SWT has ever been on any of their streams or worked on any videos with any of them. Lumping him in was just 100% them trying to take him down. For clarification, I don't have a problem with any of those guys. I watch Nerdrotic occasionally. But there's got to be a reason they threw SWT in there when he's never worked with those guys to the best of my knowledge.
Alcolye crew did provoke Star Wars fans specifically with name calling and rage bait videos. They paraded their vitriol and wanted praise for sidelining traditional fans. Most people saw what was happening and tuned out. I think you're right about youtubers keeping all the shills and hack writers relevant. Honestly the Alcolye would have just died quietly if it wasn't for RU-vidrs keeping it relevant, probably a lot longer than it should have been
The centuries old system of running things changed witt the information age. It was dialled to 11, then 110, then 1100, "UNLIiiiiIIMTED POWWWEEEEE... Wait, where did everyone go...!?" People are dialling things back their own way.... This is the failing of a dying system, the current push back (increasing censorship and control) is just more of the same old, same old. It's all been done before, it's never worked and kept a stable/thriving system. but it's time for things to genuinely change. 🤷♂
The acolyte is not the hill the shills should die on. The show was trash. Theory has always been an optimistic person, this guy was his breaking point, that says something to how bad it was. For me it was obiwan kenobi.
Butthurt shills went from funny to irritating to literally dangerous. They never needed to escalate to the point of deplatforming, the stans are legit psychos.
So they claim one one sentence that starwars theory is the biggest starwars youtuber but is the center of the toxic fandom, so they are saying the majority of fans are toxic? Also is it toxic to dislike a show?
Depends on the shows politics from what I've seen. Bad politics you must dislike, good politics you must love everything and praise it as the best thing since the last thing and until the next thing.
@@Senkoau wish they would just focus on making a good game, as for the politics as long as it fits with the ingame universe. Same issue really with certain tv shows like the witcher where every village was a melting pot made no sense. Game of thrones did a far better job in this aspect.
Who is even talking about the Acolyte anymore besides the people insisting on blaming fans for it not getting renewed? Anyway, these people just seem jealous of Theory's success and are hanging onto his recent outspoken disdain of Disney Star Wars to label him as the source of all evil in the fandom.
The Acolyte did nothing... It was too funny, and too insignificant to do anything... The Civil War started in 2012, with REAL Star Wars Fans and Disney Star Wars Fans... That's it...
Tassi's claim is that you control your audience. And that if some random person sees a video (Like this one) and decides to message Paul in a mean, then YOU are responsible for it. Paul Tassi doesn't care if you tell people not to, if it still happens, YOU are GUILTY! You are evil for not getting the 'right' audience, like his. It's all very silly and hypocritical, but it is how the 'Media' works nowadays.
Paul Tassi is every word that'd get auto-censored. One person is not responsible for 3 million people's actions. If they are, he's also responsible for all his fans that threatened Tar Wars Theory right in the comments and QT's of the post he made about being threatened! But it's always, "Rules for thee, but not for me," foe these activists.
