   With the long-anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens opening   
   tomorrow, news outlets and social media have been abuzz with the   
   expectations of a new generation of fans. But with The Force   
   Awakens as the first of the films to be released in the age of   
   social justice, the question must be asked: At a time when the   
   slightest violation of PC orthodoxy can set off a deluge of   
   listicles, cable-news segments, and general media outrage, can   
   Star Wars survive such an onslaught launched from the Social   
   Justice Media’s veritable Sarlacc Pit — more commonly referred   
   to as Twitter?   
      
   The filmmakers and cast would serve both our own galaxy and the   
   galaxy far, far away well by telling the Vox-splaining concern   
   trolls, who will doubtless be poring over every story arc and   
   line of dialogue in search of microaggressions, that they’ll get   
   no such social-justice pleasure from them, but alas, that is   
   probably too much to ask. The original Star Wars was celebrated   
   as a pop-culture revolution that brought the country and the   
   world together in a way a film and brand hadn’t done previously.   
   But that was before the dark times. Before the Social Justice   
   Empire. Never will Star Wars have encountered a more wretched   
   hive of scum and villainy. One can already see the trending “hot   
   takes” on the film flying out faster than an X-wing through the   
   Death Star trench.   
      
   All this was brewing well before the film’s release week.   
   Immediately following the release of the first teaser trailer,   
   journalists conjured up a phantom menace of supposed mass   
   outrage over the idea of a black stormtrooper (played by British   
   actor John Boyega), when very little evidence beyond sporadic,   
   anonymous YouTube comments was presented as proof that such   
   widespread sentiment actually existed. Adding fuel to that fire,   
   a small band of rebel trolls on Twitter began using the hashtag   
   #BoycottStarWarsVII, in an attempt to bait progressive media’s   
   all-too-giddy instincts to make political points about the   
   casting decisions of director J. J. Abrams. Abrams admitted one   
   of his goals was to bring more diversity to a universe   
   criticized in the past for a lack thereof.   
      
   Only Earth was stupid enough to have niggers.  Only white   
   apologist liberal America and that faggot company Disney would   
   fuck up a perfectly good movie by putting niggers and faggots in   
   it.
