Amazing video produced by Jessie Gender along with a group of creators whom many of them are from the ** LGBTIAQ+ community** .

I knew from my anthropology class many years ago that George Lucas borrowed concept from the The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

What I did not know is that the author, Joseph Campbell is:

A misogynist
An antisemite
Didn't research properly

This explains why the hero must be a (white) men.

Carl Jung's theory about collective unconsciousness and archetypes are also outdated and discarded by psychology.

The archetypes reduce women to "mother", "Goddess". etc. but never the hero.

Also, since Jung's theory categories people neatly into archetypes, those who does not fit social norm (LGBTQIA+ people) were never represented.

When the creation is based on such shaky foundations, no wonder the Star Wars fandom turns out to be racist and misogynist.

Btw, do you know who else's book borrows heavily from Jung? Jordan Peterson.

Hear hear for more nebula love and awareness.

I nag/question whenever I can about Nebula and fediverse integration. I think I've spoken to some creators on there too (who are also on the fediverse). There's an obvious alignment of values here and a whole audience that Nebula aren't engaging with.

The only issue or cultural friction I can see is a broader issue that the fediverse needs to sort out anyway ... how to manage our relationship to money and those who want to earn some living from their activity here.
