It feels odd to be in the position that I am in my life right now. I great up a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, and many many others. I was told that I was a nerd, and a loser for it. But I didn't care at all. I loved it...
1/16 But now, those properties seem to have been taken over, not by the people that called me a nerd mind you, but by another group of disaffected people. People who someone still think I'm a bad person for liking those things, and who want to 'fix it'.

So... Rant time! Because I'm tired as hell and loaded with caffeine!
I keep seeing people claiming that older fans, males in particularly think #StarWars is just for men.
Or the idea that we are somehow 'afraid' of strong women, and strong female characters...
1/25 These are usually the same people that seem to think that strong female characters are a new thing, that somehow before the current crop of movies that no movie, especially not a sci-fi movie had ever had a strong female character.
Clearly this is bullshit...
