Ignorant Responses To 'Rogue One' In The Comments Section

The YouTube comments section is always the best place to spot the sexists, racists, and homophobes.

Rouge One: A Star Wars Story released just a week ago to critical acclaim and commercial success. A riveting story that flows right in Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope featuring a racially diverse cast portraying multi-layered characters makes the film one of the better entries in the series.


Flashback to a couple months ago when Rogue One trailers were still being released to promote the film: not everyone was excited. Thanks to TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) on Twitter, some of the rather ignorant comments have been turned into sarcastic and ironic taglines for the film. Get ready to cringe…


1. Men In Space Only

My friend, you seem to be forgetting about Princess of Alderaan, later General, Leia Organa, a Rebel Alliance leader that led the battle of Endor and is now the head of the Resistance against the First Order. And Padme Amidala, former queen of Naboo, now a politician on the Galactic Senate that fought in the battles of Naboo and Geonosis, two of the biggest battles of the Clone Wars. And Rey, who’s literally the protagonist of the sequel trilogy, piloted the Millennium Falcon and evaded the FIrst Order, and defeated Kylo Ren with absolutely no Jedi training. Seriously, are you blind?


2. Women Can’t Survive In Space

“That’s just science.” Um. I want to see every experiment complete with every step of the scientific method checked off proving that women can’t survive in space. Especially considering the fact that we’ve already sent women to space in our world. Multiple times.


3. Liberal PC Nonsense In Space

If I’m interpreting “PC” to stand for “Person of Color,” then I must say that including multiple people of color in one of the biggest franchises ever does not make it “liberal person of color nonsense in space.” It makes it “equality in space.” Good try though!


4. It Will Be Full Of Gays

Well, considering that the writers are heavily deliberating on who to make their first LBGT+ character in the Star Wars universe (everyone’s pulling for Finn or Poe - or both!), yeah, it will be filled with gays next! And we can’t wait!


5. Women In The Kitchen

I’m actually disappointed in the lack of creativity in this one… “Women belong in the kitchen?” That’s seriously the BEST you can come up with? Give me a break and go make your own damn sandwich.


6. Grief Over The Force Awakens

Again… WE HAVE ALREADY PUT WOMEN IN SPACE. MULTIPLE TIMES. Not to mention the fact that Star Wars doesn’t take place exclusively in space. There are MANY MOMENTS when the characters are fighting on the ground of a planet!!! OMG!!!


7. Feminist Propaganda

Again, having people of color in the film doesn’t make it “liberal pc nonsense,” just as having a woman be a lead in a film doesn’t make it feminist propaganda. Plus, put Rey and Jyn, two determined, rebellious, yet kind souls juxtaposed next to the whiny, bratty, petulant and stubborn Luke… is a female hero seriously that painful for you?


Another day spent battling for social justice online, though I doubt any of the people that actually wrote these comments on YouTube will ever actually see these. Now it’s your turn: go see Rogue One to piss off a homophobe, a misogynist, and a racist today!!!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
