Okay, this is the best one of this meme.

Debates are only cool when they aren't meant to divide and create conflict-

Do you know what debates are? What they are for? How they operate? A debate is always two opposing ideas, they are literally designed to divide and revolve around conflict. If you only like debates that unite and cause harmony then you don't actually like debates, you like discussions.

I clearly said I didn't see this specific topic appropriate because of the sexist (and sometimes political) nature of it.

A) Yes it's a debate about sexism and rape culture, of course it's going to involve sexism.

B) Everything is politics. People who complain about things "getting too political" just don't like the politics on display.

We are literally in a meme community revolving around an allegory for the Vietnam war where the good guys are analogous to the Vietcong. If you think Star Wars is not a place for politics then you don't understand Star Wars.

It still shows up for me, I'll post it below for reference.

The meme is about a controversial topic which has lead to numerous debates lately where "both sides" are extremely sexist to the other. I made an statement, it wasn't subject of debate (unlike the meme).

there is no rule that the memes can’t be attached to debates

Never said that, I actually enjoy a lot of debates born from memes, so that's not the problem. I clearly said I didn't see this specific topic appropriate because of the sexist (and sometimes political) nature of it. Debates are only cool when they aren't meant to divide and create conflict-

Were you guys outspoken then?

-which you seem to try to encourage. Nice try, but I'm not changing my mind here, this post doesn't seem appropriate to me in the slightest. People here expect "haHa [insert funny akward quote]", not "let's compare ewoks to fucking rapists".

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Oh 😂😂🤣🤣😆 you just keep giving.

Love it! 🎉🤣🤣🤣🤣

[-] jwelch55@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Why do you get to decide what I want to see in this community?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

What did I miss?

[-] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 24 points 5 months ago

Someone posed a very ill-formed question that results in no winners. "Would you rather find yourself in the woods with a bear or a man?"

The argument is almost designed to make men feel discriminated against and women feel like men don't listen to them. There's just enough room for everyone to bring in their own assumptions about the situation to justify their position, so everyone else feels defensive.

The only winner is the bear.

[-] merari42@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

No the friendly apex predator of the woods is painted in a very bad light in a lot of these arguments. So no winners really

[-] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 4 points 5 months ago

The bear will eat quite well.

Not from eating people, bears don't like people.

The bear is eating leftover popcorn from all the people watching the shitshow from the sidelines.

It's becoming a problem, the bears are getting too fat for winter

[-] jnk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

That's why I said the post didn't feel appropriate to me, dragging this topic only makes it worse for everyone (even the poor ewoks), then some people started to misinterpret (some in clear bad faith) my statement and bring more hate 🙃

I'm tired of the internet, even asking for peace brings controversy nowadays...

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

I don't get the context but it sounds like you are taking this personally.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

That's the neat part, it doesn't matter what you say, 90% of the users on Lemmy are taking it personally.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

Fair enough

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

😂🤣

Serious comedy genius.

[-] Juice64@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Lmao

[-] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 15 points 5 months ago

Empire did nothing wrong /s

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 22 points 5 months ago

That's what ~~Darth Plagueis~~ Jar Jar wants you to think.

[-] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 6 points 5 months ago

I want a shitty fan trailer where it starts with someone saying "Somehow Plagueis returned..." where all we ever see is the tall hooded silhouette that never speaks

Then at the end, the hood pulls back, head still in silhouette, but a very.... Distinct head appears, and in a slightly deeper than normal voice, we hear "Meesa back..." as glowing yellow eyes open up.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 6 points 5 months ago

Nice idea...

[-] misspacific 12 points 5 months ago

the ewoks seemed pretty civil to me tbh

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 53 points 5 months ago

Weren't they gonna eat everybody until they thought C3PO was a god?

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

The comedian Daniel O'Brian once pointed out that the Ewoks clearly have flat teeth like a herbivores, which implies that eating meat isn't necessary or even natural for them. It's a deliberate choice. I think about that a lot.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

Thankfully us humans have our killer canines! /s

[-] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

So is C3PO holding the answer to this conflict? 🤔

[-] variants@possumpat.io 6 points 5 months ago

Skynet is always the answer

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Always was

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

The diplomatic relations droid? Seems implausible.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Not Leia

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Turns out ewoks are the perfect analogy for the man vs bear in the woods meme.

[-] misspacific 2 points 5 months ago

i don't know, i just got here

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

this is in fact, a star wars meme.

That much can be said about it.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

This is the exact scenario.

Had Leia happened upon some random person out in the forest, she likely would have hidden and observed to figure out their intentions/allegiance before engaging. As would I, a guy.

And when the ewoks happened upon some random guys in the forest they got super agro defensive until C3PO said "not all men".

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Me and my buds got all offended by this but then I remembered us dudes shared Bill Burr's "Toughest job in the world" joke over and over and this is just them being dramatic over that

[-] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

i thought roofing in July as a redhead was bad

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
