AUTHOR REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS

Some guy I never heard of wrote the latest Star Wars book and was saddened by the lack of support for his novel approach to Galactic Empires filled with Evil. He lashed out at all readers in his blog, Terrible Minds.
Wendig hit back at readers who accused the author on Amazon of “blatantly pushing a gay agenda” and suggested that the franchise was no longer “children friendly”. 
“If you’re upset because I put gay characters and a gay protagonist in the book, I got nothing for you,” Wendig wrote. “Sorry, you squawking saurian — meteor’s coming. And it’s a fabulously gay Nyan Cat meteor with a rainbow trailing behind it and your mode of thought will be extinct.” 
“You’re not the Rebel Alliance. You’re not the good guys. You’re the fucking Empire, man. You’re the shitty, oppressive, totalitarian Empire. If you can imagine a world where Luke Skywalker would be irritated that there were gay people around him, you completely missed the point of Star Wars. It’s like trying to picture Jesus kicking lepers in the throat instead of curing them. Stop being the Empire. Join the Rebel Alliance. We have love and inclusion and great music and cute droids.
It is what we have come to expect from the SJWs who dominate popular culture (they think), and is as filled with inclusion and tolerance as any guard barracks at any gulag in the USSR.  On second thought, he talks about making people who disagree with him extinct and that kind of tolerance is older and rarer although some of us expect to see a comeback in Europe by the socialist machine as it gears up to handle the flood of muslim and African immigrants. Nobody does extinction like Europeans.

You can see the love right?
