It's not frustrating that you're not backing up your claim, it's rude. It's also rather hypocritical since making claims and not backing them up is a pretty integral part of racism (I'm not claiming you are racist, but on that aspect you've got something in common).

The real racists are the people who don't talk about why they dislike a star wars film.

How about you just accept that I don't wanna go into this because this is just my opinion and I think Last Jedi has been talked to death in nearly ever regard. That perhaps I don't NEED to talk about my reasoning for disliking a film to any person who asks. Some things can be left PRIVATE for a reason. I don't like Last Jedi, but I don't need to go into a song and dance why. Cause frankly, while the Bomber argument Winter made is one I hadn't heard, I also don't wanna go into MY opinions of this film cause they're long and rambly. So get off my back and deal with the fact you won't find out why. Especially after you said THAT, which... like, no. I refuse to engage with someone who's argument is that dumb. At least McCoy was genuinly confused and wondering, so he I respect in wondering why I have this belief.

Not at all speaking for Nobody, but from others I've heard complaints about how the two minority characters get shuffled off to their own meaningless side plot that is about freeing animals and not about freeing the slaves who are also there. Not exactly the best optics when it's framed like that.

If we're using that lens the Latino guy being a hothead who amost ruined everything by getting all uppity instead of quietly doing what the white women told him isn't a great look either.

You were perfectly setup to say: "Damnit Nobody, I'm McAvoy not McCoy!" and you blew it!

I was called McCoy and that was the only important thing you need to know.

Uninteresting short story: you have no clue how many times I have been called McCoy my life.
I got nothing to say here.
