we, as Star Wars fans, need to be much louder about telling other Star Wars fans to grow the fuck up and let people have fun

#star wars #literally any SW fandom space I go into is just bitching and complaining #I'm just blocking anyone who takes the silly space drama too seriously #not just on tumblr just anywhere you go it's the same #it's fucking embarrassing guys #please adapt to the idea that as you get older #your childhood franchises have less and less to do with you #and that's okay #because you should have the security of being a grown ass person now and not need to project onto silly movies for validation please #no one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans do jfc

I'm sorry but I'm a huge Star Wars fan. have been since I was 11. it's crazy the amount of people on tumblr who have these big, severe opinions on Star Wars, but it's based entirely on what other people on tumblr have told them, and not anything they actually watched.

I've legit had conversations with people where they try to explain the plot of the sequels to me and when I correct them they'll admit "oh lol I haven't actually seen them, I don't like Star Wars, I've never even seen Star Wars, this is just what I heard from people."

if you jump on the hate bandwagon for the sequels, or for characters or actors from the sequels, just because hurdur tumblr told you too, please get out of my space. people like you literally ruined a fandom I had been a part of for 20 years because of your toxicity.

you also ruined the sequels/franchise for a whole generation of kids for whom they were the intro to Star Wars. a silly series of space fantasy movies about love and redemption, and you people made the fandom a hellscape of bullying.

#putting here too just so people know where I stand #I also have good tags on this but I cba to repeat

the idea of a linguist being sent to communicate with aliens is so funny to me because they might not even communicate with words they could communicate through frequencies or movement or scent and poor linguist is sitting there like "yeah I don't know what that means but I can describe the stench to you in over 100 dialects :)"

Nope (2022) is actually a film about how show business eats people alive and spits them back out and I'm surprised no one seems to have noticed this? I'm not even being funny that's the actual plot

#nope 2022 #loved the film btw #might actually watch it again sometime #which from me is high praise #movies #but I haven't seen anyone in their mentioning of the film #talk about how it's a metaphor for the fame&fortune grind #like our shown victims are #the audience of a show and the ringmaster who set it up #and who also has a messed up past in show business #a reporter from TMZ who was screaming for his camera as he died #and an old crazy film-maker who was so obsessed with the perfect shot #that he died trying to get it AND his camera was destroyed #so the shot wasn't even saved #also THE MONSTER ONLY EATS YOU IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO IT #and it literally CHEWS YOU UP AND SPITS YOU OUT #THAT'S HOLLYWOOD BABY! #and the film guy #couldn't help but stare directly at it and get his shot #he looked into the abyss and the abyss fucking ate him

I'm On Bethesda's Side For Once

interacting with more gamers due to Starfield made me realise there are people who think Skyrim is genuinely a masterpiece and that nothing Bethesda releases now could ever compare

this is hilarious because I always thought the consensus in the TES/Bethesda community was "Skyrim is a mid game that was saved by mods and fandom enthusiasm". but people ACTUALLY think base Skyrim is a masterpiece and they're mad at Starfield because they want it to be more broken and shallow like Skyrim

"I can do SO MUCH in Skyrim I barely can do anything in Starfield" and by so much they mean there's 8 different combat systems that barely function, and they would prefer 8 barely functioning combat systems, instead of a game that's more contained but is way more balanced and polished

Starfield is the first game in years where it feels like Bethesda actually put effort in and actually listened to fans, whereas Skyrim and FO4 were disappointing to anyone who had played FO3 and previous TES games. so many cut corners, such a bad job of balancing and implementing skills, so rushed, protag with no personality and barely any dialogue (Skyrim) or a voiced protag forced on you whose dialogue options were confusing, not intuitive, and still greatly limited (FO4)

Bethesda actually listened to these complaints. they brought back the unvoiced protag, they brought back depth and alternate choices even in mini quests, they made sure the combat and leveling system was contained, polished, and actually requires you to engage with it to keep leveling. all things we've been saying we wanted ever since Skyrim, but they're getting no credit for it and people are acting like Skyrim and FO4 were perfect and untouchable. lmao what

Starfield is also far from perfect. but it's a massive step in the right direction for Bethesda. their best game since Fallout 3. hands down. I feel like the only thing stopping people from admitting this is a combination of nostalgia and salt. because as much as gamers say we want new experiences, when devs actually attempt to give us that, we complain that it isn't like something else and harp on them about releasing a familiar title soon

I've rarely if ever been on Bethesda's side over the last decade but c'mon man. props where props are due

#I have 100s of hrs in S/kyrm btw #but it's modded to fuck #I played vanilla once just to experience it and the civil war/drago/nborn plotline is so bad and the quests are so broken #but now people are like #NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THE SK/YRIM MAIN STORY #when that was the weakest part of the game and to this day is bugged to all hell #bethesda #starfield #trying to censor sk/yrim so it doesn't end up in that tag because I'm not trying to fight lol #I just don't understand this narrative from a section of Bethesda fandom at all #as if we hadn't spent the last 10 yrs complaining about the quality of Sk/yrim and FO/4 #but now they've actually listened to us and people want them to backtrack what

so like you haven't actually played a game that allows you to do all the things Starfield allows you to do you're just mad that nobody wants to play fucking Starscam Citizenscam
