Manufactured “racism”


I wonder if Disney/Lucasfilm intentionally had Moses Ingram give a bad (okay at best) performance in her role as Reva to intentionally incite criticism from fans, so it would look like “Star Wars fans are racist” just to stir controversy and boost publicity for the show and get “woke” normies interested in watching the show in order to “fight racism” when they otherwise would never watch Star Wars or even subscribe to Disney+.

I doubt it. I don't see how this would help Disney - their stock is tanking as it is.

Disney calls fans racist and crazy, but it's the opposite way around it's Disney's twisted team that keeps shoving weird casting and plot elements that nobody asked for or aren't really that important.

When it comes to money Disney doesn't mind racism they already made Chinese friendly posters hiding the "Black" person and making him a sideline character.

I too have suspicions that Disney purposely kept Moses Ingram bad acted scenes just to anger up the fans and create another crazy publicity stunt around racism.

Moses Ingram acting as "Reva" is terrible, it's not about her being a black female with a big booty.
People dislike her character because her acting is awful !

I think they literally don't understand that her acting is bad.
Or that the writing sucks.

Can you give an example of her "bad" acting for me to check out?

To be honest I haven't really noticed that per se. I mean, I'm not particularly enjoying her scenes but that's because I find the whole Inquisitors thing an embarrassing cartoon injection into a live action show. I think they all look terrible and their inclusion cheapens the show.

But I don't particularly recall a line she gave where I thought that was absolutely shocking, you know like Hayden Christensen "No, it's because I'm so in love with you" levels of acting.

Can you give some examples that I can go back and look at?
