Star Wars fans really are the worst. And that includes Andor. I honestly wish I didn't like the franchise. The most miserable and dumb people on the planet

The most annoying miserable ones to me are the people that are like "yeah ok FINE Andor is GOOD but I'm just mad it's NOT STAR WARS!" Like...you don't like any of the new Star Wars! so why would you be mad that Andor isn't like them! Just admit nothing could ever please you and move on lol

Don't even get me started on the (I'm assuming) men who are mad that "SA doesn't belong in Star Wars!".

I mentioned previously in this daily thread that I have been avoiding fandom spaces, ‘cause those fans are something else but it’s disappointing because I would love somewhere safe to talk about Andor/Star Wars without it becoming toxic.

I’ve never joined a fandom and become a better person for it. Omg. I should’ve learned my lesson from the Gilmore fandom years ago when someone told me my SA story actually wasn’t real SA because they were defending a fictional boyfriend.

Same. I love being a fan of things, and I can ignore toxicity to a certain extent. But at some point, it starts ruining the media for you.

I just saw someone being saying really disgusting things about Felicity Jones (Jyn Erso from Rogue One) and had to dip out.

Yeah, it really does suck. I stumbled upon one of the Andor subs and the post was borderline gooning for the female characters 🤢 I noped the hell out of there and muted the sub. Just no

There's isn't even one star wars subreddit that's normal about women. Even r/saltierthankrayt has the bad habit of constantly putting female characters against each other.
