LMAO, this is so perfect
the original trilogy didn't have black people?
As main characters? Technically no, as people is plural? That wasn't my point anyway. The character wasn't really what we got in the prequel trilogy. The ideas for Mace Windu was "narrator" and "Leia's brother", with the latter giving me doubt that he would have been black.

Lol I was right. They got to the 4.2 million nonsense with a twitter poll on their account and they multiplied that with their average readership and ticket prices. Lol. I have a screenshot of the article but I'm not sure I want to post it or link it to give them clicks.

I went with my friend and her brother to see it the first time. He was like "I didn't like all the diversification, it felt like they were forcing diversity down everyone's throat" My friend and I were just quiet.

"forcing down our throat" seems to be a favorite phrase of people who don't like small changes, like having a black lead.
Total victim posture.

Also remember farmboy Luke blew up the Empire's super weapon with his eyes closed.
Some people just don't like having big black cuck staffs 'forced down their throats' all the time. Some people love it though.

Snippet:
After adding $28.1 million on Wednesday, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now the House of Mouse's highest-grossing movie domestically of all time with $629 million. It needed just 13 days to pass the $623.4 million that The Avengers made in all of 2012.
In addition, The Force Awakens has now passed Disney's Frozen on the all-time top-grossing worldwide box office chart, climbing to the No. 8 position and pushing Elsa and Anna down to No. 9. Domestically, The Force Awakens is now the No. 4 movie of all time, dropping The Avengers down the list.
Deadline, which supplied all of these numbers and comparisons based on Disney estimates, reports that The Force Awakens is likely to pass $700 million domestically on Friday or Saturday, which would put it above Jurassic World and Titanic and take over the No. 2 spot on the chart. From there, it will have just one more film, Avatar ($760.5 million), to topple to claim the No. 1 domestic box office top spot.
Good job, boy-cotters.

"Guys, I'm trying to figure out why nobody will have sex with me. I think I've narrowed it down to minorities and the media. It certainly doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I'm the type of person who would spend hours creating elaborate info-graphics in order to blame minorities and the media for my lack of game and graphic design ability."
Its really funny how diversity in media upsets some people. I bet the brother was one of those people who got really mad when he saw that Cheerio's commercial with the biracial family.
Jesus. Some people are just bad at being humans.

I've just seen this now (been avoiding SW threads until I saw it today) and that is killing me!

I think,domestically, it may reach that mark no later than mid January. Not bad for a month's work. I doubt it beats Avatar's WW gross though. At worst, it will end up number 2 alltime.

I love the anger people have over none of the leads being white men. It fuels me.

Great we can guess the plot of the next movies from this revelation then.
1- Luke has no more force powers, too old, lost them all over feeling bad.
2- Lando is back, replaces Han and becomes Rey's new father figure.
3- Rey's staff becomes her new lightsaber.
4- Finn and Rey eventually team up and fight Ben together.
5- Ben eventually kills himself.
6- Snoke jerks off or something, I don't know.

You didn't mention all of the interracial porn screenshots that had to be edited out of this.

Wait people are boycotting because of the main characters in this movie? How edgy.
It is hilarious, especially when there are two prominent badass white dudes in Han Solo and Poe Dameron.
Ok, Oscar Isaac is Hispanic, but I didn't learn that until after I saw the movie.

Yep, that's for sure... I hope it reaches the number one spot in WW gross!

Barring an extreme miracle, it isn't happening. It will have to be happy with just crushing the domestic record.
LOLOLOL. This just... cannot be serious or real. Please tell me this isn't real. Pls.

Anyone have the non-edited version?
Why wouldn't? There are fucked up individuals everywhere.
Google "cuckball" for the non edited verssion.
Yeah I know; it's just incredibly disappointing.
........I don't know what I expected.
Basically, there are porn images with white girls and black guys.
For some reason, I didn't expect that even though the rest of the image shoulda made that obvious. It all ties together so well, I guess, and seems to be a blatantly oblivious display from a sexually frustrated racist and sexist
This reeks of feeling of sexual inadequacy. These guys should see a doctor. Or a hooker.
lmfao, sorry what?

Well this thread brightened up my day.
"Hey guys we didn't stop The Force Awakens from becoming the biggest movie ever. I know... tragic right. Heck, we didn't even come close... but good news... we may have cost them millions! Sure, we're talking something like .25% of their current gross and that may not sound like a win... and sure there's absolutely no evidence that it effected anyone who didn't already know this was a horrendous piece of SJW/Cuckold propaganda, so we likely didn't change a single person's opinion... but at least we've sent a message to Hollywood, that if they make an inclusive movie with lead female and minority characters, that they're looking at losing .25% of their total gross. And sure, I guess they'd probably make substantially less money catering to us by losing all the women and minorities who turned out to see this film thanks to it shamelessly catering to them... but... yeah. okay guys. I got nothing. We're nothing. Fuck."
