I hate how the Star Wars fandom responded to Ep 1. Ahmed Best & Jake Lloyd deserved so much better. Lucas did nothing to protect them, either.
I hate how the Star Wars fans respond to PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. I was the biggest Star Wars geek as a kid; it was THE thing I collected and played with extensively. As many characters as I could get, ships. Made my own stuff. Generally freaking appalled at everyone's behavior since then.
Star Wars has the most toxic fan base, but that first place position is possibly shared with video game players.
What about Star Wars gamers?
Star Wars gamers are the singularities found at the center of most galaxies: giant black holes formed of hatred, misogyny, chip crums and neck pubes.
Geez, that's an awful image. And here I used to like Star Wars Racer. And the Rogue Squadron trilogy.
I just read about Jake Lloyd's life and damn, he doesn't have it easy. He has paranoid schizophrenia and was in prison.
