Well it might not be the OP's intention, but the way they put Hamill's quote in feels like trying to pit them against each other.
I'm not sure what this thread's goal is.

Lunar wolf right now
That's my secret, giancarlo123x, I always have the high ground.
Also congrats, you inspired my choice for my next avatar. Thank you, lol.
That too and I wanted to see people's ideas on it.
I did get context but through other people's tweets.
It's an off collar joke he made as a comment on someone else instagram. It's extremely mild at that. The way people have been blowing this out of proportion is insane.
This is ridiculous.
The fans are the biggest problem with Star Wars. Not the actors and not Disney.

Just waiting for a nice "he's acting like a thug" quote to end out the year.
You made sure to highlight Boyega's comment in the title but are surprised that's what people are talking about?
I like how every black poster in the thread fully sees what's going on here but we still have folks in here thinking they're being slick with their bullshit.
Almost like popular blockbuster media ignores LGBT relationships all the fucking time and people would like to see it acknowledged.
That Boyega quote sounds like sarcastic humor- not sure why it's "gross". He's not allowed to make a crass joke? Why not?
no he doesn't. it's basically a 'don't care had sex' joke. people are super into sex, it's okay to joke about it.
I wanna hold a lightsaber too. Don't mean I wanna stat in the movie
This Marvel hero seems to be down for it
You guys are really going to regret this when episode X follows the story of Ben Jr., the bastard son of Ben Solo.
In order for that to happen he needs to have said something dumb in the first place. This at worst was a bit crude. Thats it. There is nothing to regret.
Wait are you referring to his Pipe comment as sexist?
Is this gender swapped copypasta or something? When any two characters have a friendship in movies like these there's often an insistence by a subset of fans that they want to - or should - fuck.
All shipping is shit. FinnPoe isn't inherently toxic like Reylo. Lets see some gay people.

I can't even begin to imagine the RLM review of a Brie Larson led SW film.
I disagree with the idea it's just an off color joke, but I get it, if somebody is uncomfortable, like many women obviously are, with men making jokes about 'laying the pipe' to them, they're just prudes who can't take a joke, right?
Again - if Boyega wants to trash TLJ, make fun of ReyLo shippers, or whatever, perfectly fine. Have a ball. Light the bridge on fire.
I wonder what the overlap of Youtubers who will be defending Boyega for finally speaking for the TRUE fans and those who complained about Larson being mean to white critics are. A perfect circle?
This is not getting context. This is getting a distorted view.
Thank you for answering, though, on why you made the thread, even if it left me more confused.
I can't fucking breath I'm dying
god damn dude i love the internet
Pretty sure that's not what that poster was talking about. I think they are talking about the issues with using gay male romance to pander to the straight female gaze.
Laying the pipe implies that she is nothing more than an object for sexual gratification

I've responded enough, you just don't give a shit. You wanna claim that I'm racist because I said a guy was being arrogant, you don't know shit about me and won't stop throwing that label around and what, you're expecting me to shit this thread up with even more defenses that you're going to ignore because you've made up your mind already? Nah man.
I'm not racist, I'm not taking that label from anyone and I'm not about to go in circles saying the same thing over and over again for you to ignore it in bad faith. I'm giving you a block for my own damn sanity, don't flatter yourself about it.
She gets the purple one too? I guess it makes sense Fury would lend her his lightsaber

User Banned (2 Weeks): Modwhining and Misrepresenting Prior Ban https://www.resetera.com/posts/26598923; Numerous Prior Bans for Inflammatory Behavior
The situation here is that people are interpreting something the way they want and getting angry at others for denying it. It's the same fan ownership we get with shippers.
But regardless, I'm done with this thread and will add it to the ignore list. The mods banned me for a month in the acephobic thread right before I was going to expand upon my experiences of never dating and being humiliated over it. I'm still extremely bitter over that and the tendency of forum users and mods for incorrectly interpreting and shutting things down without question. God knows how much this makes them salivate.
He said that people who say that are usually sexist white guys...... er .... therefore... uhhh.... Boyega said a sexist thing! Literally his logic that he refuses to expound upon.
Edit: Well I'll be, finally a response.
I'm just glad that Era has a robust enough black community that it usually gets called the fuck out, whenever white "progressives" get on this shit.
In cases where its warranted? Sure. This is not that. I can't imagine actually being that sensitive.
Yes, I think talking about 'laying the pipe' to a woman you're not in a sexual relationship of any form with is a little sexist, because you're not thinking of them as a woman, but rather a whole to fill, like a pipe does.
Now, I realize to many on this forum, that makes me a prude SJW that is ruining things, because dudes can't even make jokes in public about fucking random women anymore.
i think 90% of people would.
that's not really a knock against era either. it serves a niche and it's one of the easier places on the internet to carry on a conversation with randoms even if most of ya'll are weird.
Here's the issue me and so many black poster have with this. Even ignoring our personal thoughts on the comment, the fact of the matter is he's been getting a lot of racist hate since he joined this franchise and it's been getting worse as of recent. Plus he's been getting a lot of really bad faith criticism as well recently. So people are obviously going to get defensive when we have yet another seemingly mild thing being used to attack his character. In a vacuum I can see why people would find those comments problematic, but taking everything into consideration everything. I don't believe the people making these criticisms are doing it good faith.
Well then it sure is a good thing he didn't say that to a woman then isn't it? He made the comment about a fictional character that does not exist. Not to Daisy Ridley.
Also fucking LOL at that second part. You have to be trolling.

People just have different ideas where the line is and I have a different standard for public figures than people like us .
I feel most of us should but maybe that's not the majority opinion on the topic. That's a good discussion to have though.
Like I said, it's literally 1 or 2 out of 10 on my scale.
I would say more like seasoned professional racists because they know just how to maintain the thinnest layer of deniability.
I have no idea where you were taking this in your mind when you posted this.
