\u201cif you\u2019re upset because I put gay characters and a gay protagonist in the book, I got nothing for you. Sorry, you squawking saurian \u2014 meteor\u2019s coming. And it\u2019s a fabulously gay Nyan Cat meteor with a rainbow trailing behind it and your mode of thought will be extinct. You\u2019re not the Rebel Alliance. You\u2019re not the good guys. You\u2019re the fucking Empire, man. You\u2019re the shitty, oppressive, totalitarian Empire.<\/b> If you can imagine a world where Luke Skywalker would be irritated that there were gay people around him, you completely missed the point of Star Wars. It\u2019s like trying to picture Jesus kicking lepers in the throat instead of curing them. Stop being the Empire. Join the Rebel Alliance. We have love and inclusion and great music and cute droids.<\/p>\n

(By the way, the book also has an older woman, a mother, rescuing a man. So if that bothers you, you might wanna find a bunker for hunkering down. And I dunno if you noticed, but the three new protagonists of the movie consist of a woman, a black man, a Latino man. The bad guys all look like white guys, too. So many meteors. So little time to squawk at them.)<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Aftermath\u2019s out if you wanna check it out.\u201d –\u00a0Chuck Wendig<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
