I'd prefer it if the self-hatred and vicious fandom in-fighting were left to Star Wars, where it belongs.

Think of it as Tuvix and Janeway debating

The stereotype of the angry nerd is a Star Trek fan at a convention...

And Star Wars fans didn't start arguing until the Movie Which Shall Not Be Named

Thanks for picking that one up. Too often online it seems like most people have forgotten how long the newest Star Wars has been the bad one.

Probably partially because we're getting old

There's a pretty big difference between "this movie is the worst one, but 'Hutt Slayer Leia' tho" and "This guy doesn't understand the Force, the Jedi, the previous movie, that space is frictionless, that a squadron for a capital ship is a good trade, or the technology of the series and the reasons for the limitations on it. Oh, and also he pussed out of ReyxFinn, a plan confirmed by previous screenwriters and novelists, so he could shove in Finn being molested by a stalker?!?"

I can keep going

But I won't, because I am a big boy who can emotionally handle that some people apparently didn't understand the themes of a series derided for destroying complexity in cinema.
