R5-D4 , know to his friend's as Skippy, was a force sensitive astromech droid on Tatooine in the year 0 BBY.

Upon receiving a premonition of what would happen if Luke Skywalker and his uncle purchased him instead of R2-D2 he nobly chose to destroy his own motivator.

Let his sacrifice never be forgotten.

    Posting only to comment on how fucking exhausting the "be 100% cisheteronormative assimilationist or back in the closet with you" bullshit is every fucking year. Good job pushing back on this bs.

      yeah same guy literally tried to make a distinction between the "normal gays" and the "Gay gays"

      he said something about how "99% of lgbt people just want to appear normal, while the 1% ruin the "reputation" for the rest"

      :meow-knife-trans: (imagine a bigger and scarier knife)

      edit: i almost quoted from skam to him

        Privilege and reputation are inextricably intertwined. Fuck reputation. It’s the root of all fragility and negative peace

        yeah same guy literally tried to make a distinction between the “normal gays” and the “Gay gays”

        literally the same exact thing as "I don't hate black people, I just hate n*s" except unironic. Jesus Christ

        Insert quote from Wall Street guy who said that despite being gay, Trump would allow him to continue as he wanted, whereas Bernie would tax him higher, which was why he didn't think the choice was hard.
