The reactionary backlash to media analysis is a natural part of the wider "fascists hate anything intellectual" phenomenon, btw.

Wanting you to ignore the politics of Star Wars comes from the same exact place that wants you to substitute the germ theory of disease with the 'sickness comes from failure to be a good christian and most people who claim to be sick are just faking anyway' myth.

To take a quote from Dan Olson:

They don't want these complexities to exist, and by talking about them, you make them exist. It's a form of magical thought. Talking about police brutality wills police brutality into existence. A disruption of the status quo is seen as a disruption of the natural order. The problem they see is that no-one has made those people shut up. That is what they want: someone to come in and make those people shut up and go away, to put things back "where they belong." [...] Their will is a hammer that they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing, a simple world where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes, devoid of complexity, devoid of change, where they are right and their enemies are silent. They are trying to build a flat earth.

Really wish I had gifted child ADHD and not lazy unemployed loser ADHD. Procrastinating on things I want to do and leaving a mess because I keep looking away and forgetting that said mess is there. I can be sitting there, looking right at the problem, knowing exactly how to fix it, willing myself to get up and fix it. And my body just. Refuses to move. So I find something else to do. And next thing I know, the whole day has gone by and I have done exactly nothing. It takes me months to do projects that, in reality, should only take hours. Hell, I even forget things that I need to do to simply stay alive. How much water did I have today? No idea. Did I have breakfast? Great question, wish I knew the answer. Sleep? Never heard of it. If breathing were manual, I’d forget that, too.
