Star Wars fans: We need to represent our fandom better (Don't read if you're a hater)

As most of you know, Kelly Marie Tran, who plays Rose in The Last Jedi deleted her social media after hateful, racist, sexist, you name it, comments. We need to show miss Tran that this is NOT who we are. The small minority of crybabies and haters is not who we are or represent. We start a campaign called #forceforkelly, where we leave a message of love and appreciation for her and we apologize on the haters' behalf. Sound good?

Regardless of your opinion on the new films, wishing death on someone is never okay. Hateful comments towards an actor/actress because you don't like a character they played is never okay. Wishing someone out of a job because you don't like how they run things (Kathleen Kennedy) is never okay.

Unfortunately for her most of the people bothering her were probably not Star Wars fans, but simply trolls that do this crap for fun. That is a huge part of social media is trolling and starting trouble. What they say has little to do with what they may believe its about the reaction they can get from someone else. The attack is adjusted for the target. She is female, slightly heavy and Asian thus that is what will be emphasized in the attack. You simply ignore them and move on or you can delete accounts and leave it be. You do not argue with them or give them the satisfaction of being talked about in interviews.
