Hmm sort of like how Amandla Stenberg was attacked constantly and then calmly responded on her personal page which led to Theory mocking her and saying she was having a meltdown? Theory was a loser growing up and now that he has a large youtube following, he has taken on this weird bully role and cries when people call him out on his shit. Karma karma karma, Theory needs THERAPY.
@@santiagoskywalker prime example, you said theory was mocking Amandla, and then you mock him calling him a loser. You literally sum up exactly what my point is. Id also like for you to pin point the moment theory mocked her. Because ive seen basically all of his videos and havent once seen him mock anyone lol
@@Thed538dhsk They aren't fans though, they are people who want to take the reins of a popular franchise to try and push their psychotic agendas whilst destroying said franchise in the process because they don't actually care about it at all.
You need to show actual financial losses to successfully sue. You can't sue for hurt feelings or for true information that's damaging. If the information is false and you lost no money there's no point.
@@Zan_Jayna What you're saying is kinda true. Although rich people sue all the time, literally for anything because better lawyers. And that's why he can sue. All he has to do is show data that exhibits the correlation between that dudes post and a drop in views and other issues on his channels and sales of products.
"Is this your sith era?" - Stands up against hate and slander - Doesn't let emotion get in his way - Strictly defending himself - Standing up for others being targeted. - Selfless goals in mind (Not for money, not for drama, simply for the love of his favorite franchise) Yeah, this is his Jedi era.
It amazes me that they don't just, you know, try and make decent Star Wars... As long as it's actually Star Wars, let's be honest, GL wasn't exactly Shakespeare, most fans will be happy.
@rector0455 yeah, while most fans will dunk on the prequels or even episode VI because the ewoks instead of wookies thing, we just want a decent story with interesting characters. It wouldn't be that hard to make the majority of fans happy but they (disney) seems he'll bent on abandoning the fans, the stories, and characters, for their own "modern" brand which at the end of the day isn't star wars. It's something akin to star wars but like the uncanny valley it's clear it's a mockery of the genuine article and therefor is mostly hated. Some people can simply just consume, and good for their smooth brains, the rest of the Fandom would like something worthy of it's namesake.
This is what I find so baffling. They have a selection of REALLY good movies that do a fantastic job being very inclusive and having the celebration of other cultures around the world without any of the writing or characters feeling ham-fisted and forced. It's all through fantastic story writing that gets you to connect to the character and really feel it. Yet they can't manage to do the same thing while still being true to the Star Wars universe. Bro.
Funny how those of us they tar with those labels enjoyed House of the Dragon and Arcane. I guess we just don't like strong women only in Star Wars, whatever logic there is there. Also funny that we're the r@cists when we're the only ones who brought up Finn being shrunk on the movie posters in China.
Lack of everything, the past years he's been getting worst at shit takes, hypocrisy, double standards and... yeah, bullshit everywhere. I was a follower for his Destiny content years ago, but even his Destiny takes became so shit, just like almost every "gaming" woke journo.
@@bryanfaubert3412 For a defamation lawsuit, Theory would have to prove that the article caused harm to his reputation and/or finances. His channel is doing fine, and people are standing beside him that he previously wasnt engaged with. Is Tassi's writing annoying, and in bad faith? Absolutely. Is the article ACTUALLY harming Theory? Probably not.
As a Hispanic man (non-white), I absolutely hated the Acolyte!! Does that make me a racist? I honestly don’t like much of the Disney stuff either. Mandalorian and Andor are the only good shows. Ahsoka was alright not anything great. Movie wise I really liked Rogue One. The rest has been a let down. That’s my opinion.
You made a really good point that the fans of the Acolyte mostly just care about “representation” and they see the story, characters, lore, etc. as secondary. To “steel-man” their argument, they probably think representation is more important than Star Wars or any other sci-fi/fantasy IP. They think they can co-opt these existing franchises as vehicles for their agenda. While some aspects of their agenda may have merit, they’re making 2 major mistakes with this strategy, especially as it pertains to current Lucasfilm under KK: 1. When you take something that millions of people love and disregard what they love about it, twisting it into something else, they’re going to be pissed off and whatever message you’re trying to get across will not be well-received. This isn’t a good way to convince anyone of anything. 2. Kathy’s Lucasfilm is not just trying to advance representation. KK has a massive ego and wants to make a point of shitting on the original Lucas Star Wars, especially the male heroes of Luke and Anakin. You may have seen the crossed out pictures of Luke in the Lucasfilm office. I think the lore-breaking moment that pissed people off the most in the acolyte was the “double immaculate conception” that seemed like it was there to one-up the chosen one. If you care about representation that’s fine, but this is about Kathy’s ego. She doesn’t really give a shit about anything else, (probably, allegedly)
Yup, Paul is just getting into the pathetic woke side more and more, just watch all his tweets crying about Acolite, or even Concord getting dusted into the trash, both clearly garbage and he was being a sucker lol
I recently attended a very brief online course on how to boost confidence for presentations, and the lecturer has a PhD, is a teacher, I can't remember what certifications he has in psychology.. anyway, what he said was "You can't change the world. That would be a bit much. But you can change the way you think." These people clearly want to change the world, instead of changing how they think. They want everyone to like their show, instead of acknowledging the fact that majority of the people did not like this show. It does not make us racist. It was poorly written, poorly acted, poorly designed show. Nobody wants to watch television to be LECTURED. We want to be entertained!
The lies are getting too much. You should take them to court, and to quote Thrawn, “they will be the architects of their own destruction”. Honest to god theory, you should get a lawyer to start documenting stuff.
@@Zan_Jayna That's if he chooses to sue for any financial losses. At present what he is pointing out is bullying, harassment and defamation, which is different from just not liking someone and can be successfully addressed in court.
I tend to see when people say "I've been here for ---- years!!" Is just them admitting pure incompetence because they can't survive anywhere else, and have been a leech on the side of that company for that long, they forget that they are actually there
Also at the end of the Article he wrote " So, yeah...." No serious Journalist would ever write as they speak. this is literally one of the first things you learn. Hes not serious at all.
They're just mad that Star Wars Theory has the high ground because he was able to look at the acolyte from a certain point of view, Star Wars Theory may the force be with you 👍
@@SpiderSora They are just mad in general. Instead of trying to build a community and boost eachother, they would rather try to tear down other people that go a out things a better way. Sad.
I can't get over how bad the writing is in Tassi's articles. Also I'm not surprised he's getting things wrong because I've seen him do it before. I don't care if he has different opinions and Forbes gives him a platform - but I would think they should care about basic fact checking and being able to write coherent sentences.
My dad said, don't pick on people, you never know who you're fighting. Brother, you got a lot of friends on your side, a lot of different people with different jobs and resources. For what it's worth, I support you.
What really happened is that The Acolyte was so bad that it exposed the Disney shills for being shills. The other shows had some defendable aspects, but not The Acolyte. Since there was nothing to defend, the shills had to rely on ad hominem in a vain attempt to defend the show.
I think The Acolyte just represents what their morality is like. Headland said Sol was evil for saying it was okay that Osha killed him, because he was impugning on her agency while getting choked to death. I don't expect better from someone who looked the other way while working for a monster.
The real issue with modern journalism? It often feels one-sided. Too many outlets push the narrative/side they prefer, instead of presenting both sides fairly without any bias.
I got this feeling that a big lawsuit is about to brew. Forbes keeps bringing up the Acolyte hate, but not the reasons why or the specifics. Edit: WE ARE THE SENATE!
@@Thed538dhsk Forbes is basically not seeing the full picture and keep saying the same thing behind the Acolyte failing, which they're blaming to be the RU-vidrs' fault. Honestly, it's like when Star Wars Explained tried to cancel Theory along with the rest of the others, they thought that RU-vid would agree with them, but it was a massive fail and could potentially lead to a lawsuit if they keep going.
@@haewymetalmy question exactly 😅 it would have to be collective, and then after that the legal team representing them would have to believe they have enough evidence to make a point. I think there are a lot of red flags but I do wonder how this could be legally presented in order to enforce a lawsuit.
Paul's entire career is built on crying. That and cruising reddit discussion threads and putting forth people's discussions in his own "articles" as if they were his ideas.
@@Thed538dhsk That's a total false equivalency. The folks who disliked the acolyte have stated their case and moved on, those that like the acolyte seem utterly unable to reconcile subjectivity, and THEY are the ones calling for deplatforming, demonetisation and utter cancellation rather than applying just a little bit of critical thinking.
Tassi isn't a journalist...he's an opinion columnist. So, let's call him what he actually is rather than elevate him to a level that has some sort of journalistic shield.
Take them to court. Don’t let them get away with this. So many “journalists” today more like activists, will bring up those they agree with and slander those they don’t. Long gone are those days of true journalism. Never has our freedom of speech been so under attack in broad daylight and people aren’t getting the justice they deserve.
This Forbes journalist needs to let go. They've been at this for like weeks now. The Acolyte was just a bad show, nothing more. It has nothing to do with racism or sexism, the direction and writing was just bad. The fact that the journalist, and many other die hard Acolyte fans choose to keep the fire ignited is just sad. We're with you, Theory. Keep being strong brother 💪
This is representative of one of social media’s biggest issues. One that Mike Tyson said perfectly. “Social media made y’all comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched for it.”
Yeah, but you know what? I'm starting to think that if we didn't have social media, we also wouldn't know a lot of the things that we do know, but I agree that that we should go back to 19th century dueling, where somebody says something that you don't like you challenge him to a duel. And it doesn't have to be a duel to the death. Just a quick 5 minute boxing mess. Match, you don't get to just talk disrespectfully to another man and get away with it. But if we can sit and have an intellectual conversation and be respectful of each other, nobody would be in a risk of being challenged to a duel...what do you think? Lol
The fact that you aren’t allowed to question the media without being labeled far right and every -ist and -phobe label is one of the biggest problems in America nowadays.
If you’re a SWT fan, you honestly should check out his subreddit. It’s been over ran by people who hate him and it would be nice to reclaim it. Downvote em into oblivion until they leave.
Na, why should I waste my valuable time on those losers? Forget them and let them wallow. Theory has been banned on entire subreddits for just speaking his mind. That whole platform is nothing but deluded garbage and always has been. Like what Theory said: Time is the most valuable thing we all have. Also what Palpatine once said: Let them play with the rabble. It is of no importance to us.
"Imagine somebody trying to take away everything you worked for because of wrongthink." I don't have to, most of us here can easily point to simply having that happen to us because we had the audacity to even question their agenda. Welcome to the pit. We have cookies in the foyer.
As far as most SW fans will attest, the so called SW civil war started as soon as Luke Skywalker chucked his lightsaber over his shoulder in TLJ. MTFBWY!
I think that Tassi guy needs an intervention and serious therapy. After you contact a lawyer, maybe call 911 and send him some medical help. This is not right.
That's the only power these weirdos have. They were allowed to infest social media and entertainment unprovoked for a few years and entrench themselves. They still have blind numbers but since they never support anything beyond social media clicks, they're starting to phase out
I find it bizarre they keep jabbing at theory about the personal emails. I mean, the gloves are off with theory responding after SWexplained and his wife tried to deplatform him. Theory responded in kind. This whole situation is a huge Bullying 101 case. It's awful what is happening to SWTheory.
This just goes to show that Forbes needs to fire this psuedo journalist, tarnishes their reputation as a site but also makes me wonder fully when is Mollie losing all of her assets through legal ramifications? Very confused how she and her doormat are able to do such heinous acts unhindered. Very sad and makes me worried for even saying opinions anymore out of fear of death threats.
When I see these people always screaming about everyone else being “racists”, “bigots”, and “phobes”, I remember a Raylan Givens quote from “Justified”. “If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you keep meeting assholes all day, you’re probably the asshole.” Unfortunately, self examination isn’t their strong suit.
Quite honestly, this is really simple; This is all Mollie. She is a covert narcissist. She has surrounded herself with sycophants. She uses them like tools, like golf clubs, drawing out the one she thinks is right for the situation. Sometimes it is with what she thinks is clever nuance, sometimes it is just bludgeoning. But she is bad at golf. Not nearly as clever as she believes herself. Having been raised by and around narcissists, it is very clear to me every single part of her personality is like an textbook narcissist; it is all carefully curated to appeal. That appeal is power. And I can almost 100% guarantee in private she uses it to verbally and emotionally bludgeon her spineless husband into doing what she wants.
@@Thed538dhsk Cuz it was sh*t that bombed and went down as the laughingstock of Star Wars (which is saying something because the Holiday Special, TLJ, ROS, Mando season 3, Obi-wan Kenobi, Book of Boba and Ahsoka all exist lol)
@@Thed538dhsk Do your own research (actually watch listen to and endeavour to understand his videos and you will see it just as plainly as everyone else who isn't a total retard)
the hate doesn't matter--the indifference killed it. the 'old' fans didn't watch and the 'modern audience' that did watch it will all fit into a McDonald's at the same time.
I have been a dedicated Star Wars fan for many, many years and I've always hated the media for the way they constantly slandered Lucas and talked shit about the prequels from 1999 onwards. They constantly published articles rubbishing Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen. They would mock Jar Jar and plot points like "Trade Disputes" all the time. They were scumbags then, and they are scumbags now. The only difference is that they're (now) in the pocket of Disney.
@@Thed538dhsk There was no mass social media in the early 2000s. There were blogs and forums. Your average person was still only getting mass market messages from publishers. RLM didn't / couldn't do their epic TPM videos until You Tube along and it was YEARS after TPM.
@@VinceP1974 True. But those in the media were still OT fans who felt disappointed. Yes mass social media wasn't a thing but like you said chatrooms and the infancy of online fan communities had already started
Steve Forbes was a business man and ran for President. He wouldn’t have cared two Sh*ts about this. The fact that Forbes has fallen this far this embarrassing and so telling.
@@Christo_TrismegistusBoth these figures are deceptive as many fans have already turned their back on what SW has become, and many of these nufans are tourists only supporting it because of the political agenda it pushes. In reality, it's probably more like 96% v 4%.
@@Christo_Trismegistus It's less. You aren't counting the vast majority of ppl that don't care enough to bother going on Rotten Tomatoes to rate it lol. The harsh reality is the overwhelming vast majority of ppl hated it.
You'd be surprised at the damage that a small number of people can do when a wealthy, well-established entity (like a country, or a company as big as Disney) uses them as a proxy.
People like Paul Tassi are gonna stop very soon. Because in the end they are saying and creating the image that RU-vid is promoting hateful content and YT isn't gonna let that go for long.
"The storyline" ... There was next to no story. It was all over the place. Stuff just happened for no reason. Motivations shifted from scene to scene. It was laughable.
Come on Theory, poor Alex has enough trouble sleeping at night as it is, now you're going to give Paul anxiety since he can't handle negative feedback on his trash talking articles. Continue doing what you are doing, call out the bullies and continue to be respectful and don't sink to their hateful levels.
Has anyone simply stopped and asked why when it comes to bad writing in StarWars it’s all of a sudden a“fan” issue? How could it be just the StarWars fandom when for a while now large corporations have been destroying lore-filled franchises left and right; for Phase5 Marvel such as She-Hulk etc (Disney), shitting on lore in LOTR: Rings of Power (Amazon), The Witcher (Netflix), after season-6 of Game of Thrones (HBO). It’s not surprising that these mega-corporations continue to dismantle good lore and substitute it for forced “woke” moments and undermining delicate lore. It’s literally not exclusive to the StarWars fandom, and yet, these twitter trolls and journalists love to pretend like it’s a StarWars fandom exclusive problem-which it’s not. **[Edit]** P.S. How could we all be “racists” if we enjoy shows such as Shogun which is also on Disney. But for some reason The Acolyte is failing. It’s almost as if race isn’t the problem. It comes down to the quality of writing.
I've commented before, but I am an outsider who enjoys keeping tabs on media. When I noticed the differences in the Rotten Tomato meter after the second episode I went to see what people were actually saying about the show, knowing that Disney lies. Your character has shown throughout this entire saga and this aftermath. Likewise, the reputations of many supporters of the show has been made perfectly clear. Their behavior is disgusting, and I cannot understand for the life of me why someone would waste so much of their time and others' time over disagreements over a TV show. It's petty beyond belief. Anyway, keep up the good work. Know that there are plenty of people outside this community who see through this crap and know who the real siths are.
They say RU-vidrs and their subs coordinated an attack against The Acolyte and it's Actors.. when THEY are the ones who coordinated an attack to demonetize RU-vidrs. Such hypocrisy. Who do they think they're kidding?
@@Thed538dhsk Since FORBES has a good reputation as a trustworthy mag they should not have a reporter go after someone like Theory more than once without any background information on a story. It's bad for the magazine. The reporter could do a new report on Theory with a good not rude story. who knows how many viewers reported him in for false news.
I went to high school with Jon Root. I took his sister to senior ball. Wild to see him in this video I think he just means cancellation of the show and not harassment.
Thank you, so much, for getting lawyers involved. It's ridiculous when you consider that they believe that their words are important, and need to be taken seriously - While, at the same time, defending their blatant defamation behind notions of comedy or an out of hand remark. (Unless they're seriously going to act like they were serious... because... wow) The kids that grew up reading under trees, or in a "basement" watching Star Wars, _because_ they _were_ bullied - are *_now being_* bullied, for having liked what they were enjoying as kids, as an escape from being bullied. It's disgusting, it needs to stop - and normal people have no real way to defend themselves against this sort of thing.
Regardless of what you think about the Andor show. But quotes were stated: “ there is a system and it’s angry” and “ power doesn’t panic” The reason these journalists and companies have these ongoing problems is because “THE MESSAGE” - (critical drinker) was placed in *bold* within the Acolyte. But the show failed, and since “THE MESSAGE” was the main focus of the show, these people don’t seem to understand that this is not where the flaws lie. The purpose of the show was NOT to create a Star Wars story. It was to boost THE MESSAGE.
What movie had a Black man a feminist woman and an alien star in the 70's? Star Wars by George Lucas...... George beat them by 40 years and made it GOOD lol.
‘Toxic side’ 🤣 these guys need a great big mirror. This side is the sane side that don’t just accept any old slop in our beloved fandoms just to spread ‘the message’ Keep up the good work, Theory
After ruining beloved characters like; luke skywalker, boba fett, han solo, obi-wan, and even palpetine. Im pretty sure we are silently boycotting disney star wars.
Sue them for what? You can only get money when they caused you to lose money. If they caused SWT to get fired from jobs, then he'd actually have a case. In most circumstances the SJWs trying to cancel someone INCREASES their revenue
@@Thed538dhsk of course it’s legal. Just do it legal ways. They are actively trying to take peoples livelihoods and trying to steal peoples spaces. I’m not responsible for their terrible maturity and mental health making them unable to take being called out
If Paul wasn't a grifter, he would know it was The Last Jedi which caused more of a "civil war", as there were a good number of people who liked/disliked the movie. The Acolyte found common ground for those two groups to support in unison, and it's a handful of people that will try and celebrate the show which was so bad, Disney cancelled it within a few weeks.
Bro I've watched you for a few years. Anyone who gives you flak for any reason at all has ulterior motives and envy how far you've reached in the clouds of success. The difference between them and yourself is when you reach that height, you're not looking down at everyone from the clouds. You continue looking upward and side to side with anyone keeping up with you while in certain cases helping people next to you flying reach higher heights than yourself even. There's out of touch, then there's these people. Every positive thing in your life so far has been deserved and for these people to claim it isn't want it for themselves. Nothing more, nothing less. Keep going upward my dude.
