May the Fourth be with you. Or maybe not, if Disney had screwed up everything about SW you once held dear so badly that you no longer cared.

I plan on four SW games for the weekend. We'll see how many I get away with. But for me, Star Wars stopped at three movies.

Star Wars has dropped off my radar due to market oversaturation, but I did wear my plain ol' "Star Wars" teeshirt today.

I visited Hollywood Studios today (AKA Star Wars Land in waiting) not even knowing it was May the 4th. So I got to watch Storm Troopers marching down the street there.

I continue to wear my "Hon Shot First" t-shirt.

I don't think heterosexual white men are permitted to celebrate Star Wars day any more.

Dynaman878905 May 2018 6:40 p.m. PST

Mommy! All the heroes in movies aren't white men anymore!

Oh no, the audience isn't swallowing the propaganda anymore!

…and despite one's stance on the clumsy and obvious social/political tripe of the current manifestation of the beaten dead horse IP, the Disney movies are even worse than the 'prequels'… May the fourth indeed, StarWars is nothing but an awkward nostalgia/CGI-narcosis cash grab now.

Modern mainstream culture just doesn't have much to offer straight white men beyond constant scolding, the systematic destruction of their culture and life as a second class citizen.

I am not entirely sure what the outcome of this will be, but I can't imagine it will be good.

Normally I would expect more men to retreat in to porn and video games, but progressives have made it very clear they intend to ban those for being problematic (ie enjoyed by White Devils)

So I guess it is opiates, alcohol and bitterness as a career path.
