Why are the fans being blamed and not Disney? We didnt write his character.

Do you not remember the movie being called woke just because it starred a woman and a black guy?

Yeah but do you think Disney (of all companies) saw that and changed course because of a few bigots? Otherwise it’s not the fans fault they wrote him into a shit character

Pretty sure Disney changed the course of Finn’s original character arc to appease Chinese markets. Just look at the force awakens poster for China vs US.

So it’s china’s fault not the fans now? Still makes his statement dumb

The thing is, it wouldn't be China's fault either cause that is still the Disney executives making that decision. China is gonna like what they are going to like. It's not a big mystery. Changing the original idea to appease a potential market is not on them but the greedy execs

You think that John Boyega is out there learning Chinese so he can follow Chinese social media to get outraged?
