Called “The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit (aka The Chauvinist Cut),” the cut-down version is clearly intended to satirize the complaints about the movie’s heavy focus on Finn’s aimless sidekick, Rose (who’s referred to as “Asian chick” and “China girl), and the pink-haired admiral played by Laura Dern. Most of their scenes, along with Leia’s and Rey’s, are significantly reduced.
Despite having every indication of being a work of satire, the cut has sparked a backlash from the progressive media who are lamenting what they see as an insurgence of men’s rights activists in the geek community.
I'm trying to imagine the sort of man who'd take comfort from the ability to edit women out of existence or heroic narratives, and it's making me a little nauseous. https://t.co/kfqT5g9kWy

If you remove all the women from The Last Jedi, then the First Order would win. I guess that makes sense considering the sort of person who would edit The Last Jedi to remove all the women.

Writing for the AV Club on Univision’s network of sites, Sam Barsanti describes the hackjob as a “horrid, misogynistic fan edit,” and calls its creator an “enterprising creep” who “decided to put his frustrations to ‘good’ use and edit The Last Jedi into a movie that’s a bit more palatable to misogynists, racists, and overall idiots.”
Barsanti goes into significant detail about how the cut bunched up his underwear, describing it as “fucking shameful.” – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]The big new “Star Wars” game is facing continued scrutiny, but this time it’s not from players – it’s from a Democratic politician in Hawaii. His name is Chris Lee, and he accused the game’s makers of “predatory behavior” in an address this week.
“This game is a Star Wars-themed online casino, designed to lure kids into spending money,” he said. “It’s a trap.”
Lee said that he’s looking into legislation in the coming year that could prohibit the sale of some games to people under 21 years of age. He also said he’s been “talking with several other States as well” regarding similar legislation elsewhere.
Specifically, Lee is addressing the “loot box” system that was previously in the game “Star Wars Battlefront 2.”
