The Fandom Menace Strikes Again!


This deranged cult is triggered that anyone likes any Star Wars other than the originals and Mandalorian. I'm sure they're busy on Youtube but I'm not going to look. They're even on MC!

The Fandom Menace refers to SW prequel haters who usually troll from Toutube. They've expanded to attack everything Disney/Marvel and Star Trek.

These trolls take to Imdb to manipulate reviews and rating. There were a few canned fake 1* reviews on Thursday, today there are shitloads: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8466564/reviews?sort=submissionDate&dir=desc&ratingFilter=0

Yesterday the Imdb rating was an outrageous 9+, but now it's down to 8.6. It will end up between Boba Fett and Mandalorian.

Oh no do they not like your show about space wizards for children?

Tell Disney to stop squatting out turds, calling it "Star Wars," and expecting anyone to like it.

Their hobby isn't fandom, it's being Haters.

They've all see the original films a bazillion times, and learned nothing from them.

wow....how dare they not like something you like. We must all out them and complain about their personal opinions...

You mean like the fake 10 star reviews.

Eh, I don’t mind the original Fandom Menace of the 1990s and 2000s.

Their criticism was usually about Jar Jar being annoying, Hayden Christensen’s wooden acting…etc.

You may agree or disagree with them, but at least they were criticism on the merits.

Now it’s because they don’t like women or black people in the films. Really annoying.

I would add the prequels and Clone Wars to that too. I call them Lucas Loyalists or Cultists. They say crap like "there are only 6 movies" and love Clone Wars and Mando. Clone Wars and Mando are accepted because Filoni is the heir apparent to them.
