Click the date to see the entire twitter thread. Only spoilers if you are swayed by opinions in gif format.

I will eventually type up my thoughts on #RiseofSkywalker but until then, here are initial reactions in GIF format:

Weird, when I click through on the date, it comes up correctly. Here is the direct link (I think)

I mean, it's mostly gifs that are angry and sad LOL

It's showing me the top tweet, but when I click on "show thread" it's showing me NOTHING. I've unmuted all the things so that shouldn't be a thing anymore. *shrug*

From that "angry and sad" comment, I'm gathering you, like most of my timeline, hated it? I . . . feel like I'm somehow betraying half my friends by enjoying it as much as I did. Like, I did mute ALL the things, but the general feeling of "WE HATE THIS" came through despite that, and I never really saw the context of why.

(I have a squee post up, though! I'm sorry!)

We are all allowed to like different things for different reasons. Everyone looks at art a different way and takes something different from it. It didn't do what I wanted it to do.

And it's funny you say that about your Twitter timeline because most of mine liked it. I felt like the odd one out after it came out. **shrug** Like I said, everyone has different things they want/like.

The real problem is these assholes saying you're not a "real fan" for liking/not liking it.

I think a lot of people were mad about Rose--not unreasonably, I get that--and that's what dominated most of the conversation. Wanna trade timelines, lol?

[orangerful]

Rose is just a teeny tiny part of the whole problem with this film.

And HELL NO! I worked hard to weed my timeline of negativity LOL. Pretty much have it down to LJ/DW friends, IRL friends, and a handful of YouTubers, authors, actors, and a couple journalists that I trust.

See, that's what I need to do, weed out the negativity, but I don't even know where I'd start. That is one of my resolutions this year, actually.

I think I went through just just unfollowed everyone and then started from scratch. Believe me, it makes a HUGE difference.

AND turn off retweets. For everyone. It makes your feed a lot cleaner and you only see retweets if people bother to comment on them prior to retweeting.
