So there’s going to be a ‘shipping panel at Star Wars Celebration.

Direct from the official Star Wars Celebration website:

Readers may remember the co-author of Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia Tricia Barr who was upset over the firing of Chuck Wendig, as one of the feminists who proudly sported the “Fanboy Tears” mug, and conflates superiority with equality, who blamed “white males” for the false Ahmed Best narrative and Princess Leia’s gold bikini for her anorexia, and who co-hosts the Girls Going Rogue podcast. Well she’s got some concerns about this shipping panel, and as always with SJWs, it’s about race and gender. Surprise!

Not even a droid could make sense of her ramblings.

Celebration hasn’t even begun and already we’re seeing hilarious SJW hand wringing.

Bailey made the following Twitter post:

THIS! Ryelos are mad people are talking about crashing their panel and talking about finnrey. It’s just proof the panel is all about ryelo and that’s all they care about https://t.co/D8f3FJy2Xp

To which Tricia Barr replied:

People shouldn’t threaten to disrupt panels. Not cool. With that said, there are specific problems with how shipping panel is shaped that makes it appear one-sided & that could contribute to appearance that franchise is supporting some problematic mindsets, including racism 1/-

From panel blurb: “Shipping” in Star Wars transcends age and gender and is as old as the question of whether Leia would end up with Han or Luke.”

Are they going to talk about how it transcends gender and traditional patriarchal norms? Bc only straight people are mentioned. 2/-

So I see the guise of inclusion but there is nothing clear in how people have talked since this was put up that anything but straight relationship between white people will be discussed. 3/-

Conclusion of panel blurb “we delve into the perception of romance by the Star Wars fanbase and describe some of our experiences in the larger Star Wars fandom, in podcasting, and in the Reylo community.”

What about Kylux or StormPilot? 4/-

— Tricia Barr #StarWars5050 or we’ve settled (@fangirlcantina) March 25, 2019

Or Finn/Rey or Rey/Poe or Rey/Finn/Poe if you want to keep it ST specific? Because without including other ships and isolating one, many others begin to see exclusion, which bolsters the perception that Reylo is fueled in part by bigotry. 5/-

With that said I think PTB are a bit naive on the social dynamics around these ships. 6/6

But what about Throke?

Patriarchal pals.

But the podcasters putting on this panel didn’t take too kindly to Tricia Barr’s amusing concerns.

Please don’t criticize us behind our backs. We’re on Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, Soundcloud, and you can message us. We’re fellow podcasters. We podcast and talk about these issues for love for the franchise, like you.

My thread is clear. I am critical about SW franchise being inclusive, that includes how discussions are handled/distributed on panels at their convention. The blurb gives specific context: the panel is not about shipping, it’s about one ship. 1/2

— Tricia Barr #StarWars5050 or we’ve settled (@fangirlcantina) March 25, 2019

Hope you can find a way to really make this a panel about shipping of all types. 2/2

I am very sad and disappointed that, as women, we cannot support each other, that you, who has been a podcaster for longer than us, is tearing us down when we were the only ones brave enough to propose a topic that risks our physical integrity.

— Lords of the Sith Podcast (@LordSithPodcast) March 25, 2019

Please come to us in person, check what we look like, and then start talking about racism.

Remember the good old days when we discussed AT-AT armor and tibanna gas mines, and never had to deal with this kind of silly nonsense? Those days are no more, under the brave and bold new era of melanin and genitalia obsessed Disney. Honestly, the more these feminists try to be equal the more they act like the stereotype of women that they’re trying to avoid. In any case, looks like the drama on the stage during the shipping panel may prove to be more dramatic than anything in the Sequel Trilogy. Litigate away!

IA with literally all of this and I do NOT endorse reylo. But… this utter Mess panel is both repulsive and weirdly magnetic. I want to attend and witness what is already the centerpiece drama of #SWCC pic.twitter.com/Z438po8cw6
