The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Funny thing to me is, I can appreciate Rose, but my Asian girlfriend thinks that she is the worst Star Wars character. And she likes TLJ a lot more than I do. It should be allowed to dislike someone or something from SW in the SW forum.
Tbh I’m disappointed in rm / whoever split this into a separate thread. It’s exactly the toxic misogynistic racist bullshit narrative fandom has been fighting against the past few months and now it’s seeped in here.

So what is the problem exactly? Is it because of the actress attacks that this thread is in "poor taste"? Because I'll start a "is jar jar the worst SW character" thread, to make it fair?

Not fuckin cool
Are quoting this because you agree with the post, or do you imagine this is evidence that someone is saying you aren't allowed to like something from SW in the SW forum?
If the latter, I would respond by saying that's not at all what dime is getting at.

I don’t see any problem with the thread, even if I like Rose.

Having this thread isn't what he's taking issue with, though.

Then we are understanding his post very differently.
Obviously no one supports harassing actors so that they erase their social media, especially with racism. I think what happened with Kelly Marie Tran was disgusting. But toxic fan culture has nothing to do with a debate on RM.
I'll let dime defend himself. I don't want to put words in his mouth. But there's a much larger context to it. To be clear, I don't 100% agree with what dime is saying but I do totally understand why he might feel that way.

It's not so obvious at all. If it were, it wouldn't be happening. Clearly, plenty of people support harassing actors because it keeps fucking happening.
Also, there have been plenty of toxic things RMers have contributed to the conversation. Most of the discourse has been civil but not everyone is off the hook.
