It’s just barely possible that I may have, in passing, dropped subtle hints that I ain’t no spring chicken anymore *AND* that I’m a sci-fi fan from way back. Additionally, I might have let slip a hint or two that I’m not fond of recent efforts by the owners of various franchises and intellectual properties to twist culturally important works to fit new political views and cater to people who actively dislike not only the original properties… but they also basically despise *me.* Over the last decade and a half or so as Hollywood has repeatedly mangled the legacy of Star Trek, Star Wars, Ghostbusters and a bunch of others, the paid shills have cranked out the predictable – and predictably lazy and wrong – message that anyone who doesn’t like turning Han Solo into a joke or Luke Skywalker into a cowardly traitor or crapping on established canon is a “toxic fan.” But it’s hardly news that the fragile egos of the shallow “fans” of the new, revised, ruined versions are the real source of toxicity, as JJ Abrams is finding out after disappointing a bunch of “Reylo” snowflakes with the latest DisneyWars fan-film.

Leave it to SJWs to invade what you love, turn it into what *they* want… then set it on fire all while blaming *you.*
