I’m sorry to inform you that there are right-wing Star Wars fans. Just as there are right wing whovians and trekkies and bronies. No it doesn’t make sense but there it is.
Star Wars is not right wing by America’s fascist standards but it is right wing by most other standards.
Lucas is clearly a firm pro-capitalism liberal. The story criticizes fascism and the concentration of power but hardly criticizes authority and firmly supports strict social hierarchies. There’s an entire sub-caste of sapient slaves called droids that never gets acknowledged as problematic!
And that’s what made Andor very special. It’s an allegory for class struggle and unionization. It’s a story Lucas would have never told, and it is brilliant.
It makes perfect sense once you realize that their media literacy is through the basement. Regular literacy too, I’d wager. 54% of adults (in America) read below the sixth-grade level. Source.
Right-wing SW fans make more sense than right-wing Star Trek fans, at least. In SW they can root for the Empire, but ST is a post-scarcity utopia from the ground up.
Right wing Star Trek fans love the Mirror Universe. They’re probably why someone thought it was a brilliant idea in Discovery to give Space Hitler a redemption arc.
i assume you mean “the good borg queen” i dint like picard that much, ironically that story was lifted from the fan novels, where it had a “borg” cooperative alliance, after the QUEEN in endgame died. kurtzman lifted from those NOVELS so much, it was so cringe and obvious. i was curious of the Lore one time so i visited thier non-canon wiki pages of star trek.
Exactly! Any other faction that wins and takes over the galaxy is still running a dystopia. The Orks, however, would be ruling over a utopia where everyone is happy (on account of being Orks and thrilled to fight one another). The Orks deserve to win from a utilitarian standpoint of maximizing happiness!

Right wing sci-fi/fantasy fans are cheering for the antagonists, or the societies depicted.
The extent I’ll grant fantasy shows are sympathetic to right-wing politics is monarchies, but that’s about it (without giving it very deep analysis 😅)

They root for Vader and the Storm Troopees now and don’t watch Andor, the one I know anyway.
There are left-wing Bronies?
I don’t know what to do with this question.
There’s still bronies?
What’s a bron
iey? (will kagi that)E: Oh. And spelling.

This is a pretty interesting link. I knew the low literacy rate fact before, but from a different source.
Filing this under “conservatives are so stupid. so fucking stupid.”. they want to save money by gutting education and that’s just ass-backwards.

nah, they got mad NU-TREK with thier virtue signalling of WOMEN AND gay leads, which was forced by kurtzman. nutrek literally broke thier minds.

right wingers had a problem with 90+% female and LGBTQ+ leads, thats all they were complaining about in STD.
I had zero problem with the cast. But after they decided to give Space Hitler her redemption arc, I just couldn’t take the show seriously anymore.

Considering that Section 31 turned into a perverted circus…
Maybe they should try 40k.
Unfortunately, they very much do.
And they don’t understand who the good guys are in 40k either (it’s no one. Except maybe tyranids acting at an instinctual level)
Bullshit, the Orks are working towards increasing average happiness in the galaxy!
I mean, by process of elimination, I guess.
I thought about including orks in there, but they do too many uncool things like trying to fight people who don’t want to fight.
They’re perfectly happy fighting anyone and everyone, including themselves, and just want a good propper fight.
Kind of hard justifying a fight with puppies though…

Tau in shambles.
At least 20% of ANY group is comprised of assholes.
