Hello! I’m an anthropology student doing a practical fieldwork course, and I’m doing mine on queer and LGBTQIA+ fans in horror fandoms (essentially I’m asking why do so many queer people like horror and their engagement with the fandom). I’ve put together a small survey with 13 questions.

If you can quickly fill this survey or share it I would greatly appreciate it. If you have any concerns or questions, just send me a quick message.

john boyega being honest about the racism of disney star wars in his GQ cover story is so important and unbelievably brave for him to do. disney could easily blacklist him for his comments and have done so to others over less- we gotta make sure we support him, his career, and message as much as possible. he could potentially get so much industry retaliation from speaking truth to power like this

FUCK the mouse and fuck how they treated john boyega- it is racism. believe him and don’t be quiet about it.

John Boyega deserved Better

So, let’s give some context to those who are not aware of what John Boyega has gone through since being cast in Star Wars so many years ago.

And feel free to add anything I miss.

After being cast in The Force Awakens, there had been a large backlash and a call to Boycott Episode VII

Then after The Force Awakens, John had to deal with toxic fans constantly claiming he was not the Male Lead of the Sequel Trilogy over and over again even though that went against what he was told by The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams when he was cast and what TFA clearly setup.

Finn’s character would then be erased and sidelined in the sequel to TFA, The Last Jedi, much to the celebration of certain fans who claimed it was better that Finn not be in the main conflict of the trilogy.

During this time, John would still be routinely harassed by the bigots who were against his casting as well as people going to his social media accounts to verbally attack him.

Then we having the shipping community…which I will not go too deeply into this beyond the fact that one group of shippers have made John Boyega’s life a living hell, even demanding that Disney blacklists him from ever getting work and influencers in that community sending their followers after Boyega. Then we have another group of shippers who legitimately accused John of queerbaiting on multiple occasions through the years.

Then there was the backlash John Boyega received when he had said that his character Finn and Kelly Marie Tran’s character deserved better in The Last Jedi and that the movie was not for him. Citing that as a Black man playing a Black character, being removed from the central conflict of the trilogy was something he creatively disagreed with. This had earned him the hate of fans of The Last Jedi to large degrees that spread from SW influencers to actors and critics that were close with the director of TLJ.

Then John had been falsely accused of bullying Kelly Marie Tran and once again a group in the Star Wars community went again him.

Then, after months of re-shoots. re-writes and multiple story changes on the final film of the Skywalker saga, The Rise of Skywalker, John Boyega gave his honest thoughts on a creative choice in the film he disagreed with. That earned him the most harassment from the same community who went after him with false claims of bullying Kelly Marie Tran and that he wasn’t the male lead of the trilogy.

I covered a good deal of that one in this video https://youtu.be/WLFVKUX4qDs

And finally, after giving his support to the Black Lives Matter cause, John had been attacked once again by toxic Star Wars fans who either claimed HE was being racist against white people or that fighting for BLM didn’t earn him “Redemption” for the false things they accused him of.

John Boyega has endured nothing but constant attacks for years and has gotten almost next to no support from the online community in the way that he should.

The man has fought against racism, fought for his own place in the film industry, and even started his own production company to give people who never had a shot a chance.

If there is one thing John Boyega is, he is a hero. And if he is anything else, then he’s a role model.

“I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

JOHN BOYEGA for British GQ (October 2020)

Now what? After 3 weeks of protests and educating ourselves and educating others, how do we keep the momentum going for this civil rights movement? How do we make permanent change?
