Why do people have such a hard on for being space fascists? Star Wars has the most basic good vs evil plot out there but people keep pretending there's some kind of nuance on the team that semi-regularly blows up planets.

lol I got banned from the starwars sub for pointing that out at every opportunity. Apparently explaining why america is an evil empire in reference to a lucas quote that says the same thing (shortly before praising soviet artistic freedoms in the same interview) breaks the politics rules.
I fucking hate "no politics" rules so much. EVERYTHING IS POLITICS YOU FUCKING NERDS.
I think we're the nerds for knowing that, but quibbling aside: totally agreed. I am yet to see a forum with a "no politics" rule that doesn't devolve into reactionary nonsense. well, except for like 12 people niche hobby forums. Those generally stay very on topic in regards to the niche hobby....generally.
