Alt-Nazis Are Boycotting 'Rogue One' Because It's 'Feminist, Anti-White Degenerate Trash'

By Dustin Rowles | Star Wars | December 9, 2016 |

Reviews for the stand-alone Star Wars film, Rogue One, have not hit the Internet yet, but a number of Trump-supporters have already made up their mind about the movie, calling it “a Jew masturbation fantasy of anti-White hate,” “anti-American,” and “liberal propaganda.” Calls for boycotting the movie from white nationalist gained steam when one of the film’s writers, Chris Weitz (American Pie, About a Boy), tweeted (and later deleted), “Please note that the Empire is a white supremacist (human) organization,” while the original writer on the project, Gary Whitta, responded, “Opposed by a multi-cultural group led by brave women.”

Weitz followed it up with another tweet:

Star Wars against hate. Spread it. pic.twitter.com/Dtf5uqpxba — Chris Weitz (@chrisweitz) November 11, 2016

Weitz also expressed support, on Twitter, for an article from CBR.com aligning the movie against white nationalism: “When I look at the Rogue One trailers, I see what I want from America. I see a multicultural group standing strong together led by a rebellious and courageous woman.”

That, in full, was enough to spark outrage among the alt-Nazis, who have decided to add Rogue One to a list of things that they’re boycotting, along with Hamilton, Starbucks, Kellogg’s, and Facts.

Jack Posobiec — a leading voice of the alt-Nazis (and promoter of the #Pizzagate conspiracy) — got it started.

Star Wars writers: Trump is a white supremacist and Rouge One is an anti-Trump film

I just cancelled my Star Wars Rogue One tickets after the writers said its an Anti-Trump movie. I'll take my dollars elsewhere — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) December 8, 2016

This is not true, but why would that stop the alt-Nazis from suggesting it?

Star Wars writers rewrote and reshot Rogue One to add in Anti Trump scenes calling him a racist. Disgusting.#DumpStarWars — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) December 8, 2016

It took off from there.

#DumpStarWars well @Disney looks like my children and my self won't be going to see this propaganda movie. — DeplorableSeatown (@CskWA77) December 8, 2016

Just leave politics out of movies. Whatever happened to entertainment and diversion? #dumpStarWars — Shaun Thompson (@thechef71) December 8, 2016

Stop using your multiculturalism anti-American agenda in a science fiction Disney movie. We just want to enjoy a fun movie. #DumpStarWars — Baked Alaska™ (@bakedalaska) December 8, 2016

#DumpStarWars? Already done. We don't watch that feminist, anti white, anti Christian, degenerate trash in our home anyways… — Wife With A Purpose (@apurposefulwife) December 9, 2016

Hollywood and Disney stop politicizing movies. Why alienate Trump supporters? We won't watch this Anti Trump propaganda. #DumpStarWars — Irma Hinojosa 🇺🇸 (@latinaafortrump) December 9, 2016

Obama’s brother even got in on the action, which is just straight-up bizarre:

Boycott Star Wars people! #DumpStarWars — Malik Obama (@ObamaMalik) December 8, 2016

Of course, the people on Twitter who do not support a white supremacists agenda were just as vocal (and a lot more amusing) in counteracting #DumpStarWars, although that Jack fella thinks those laughing at #DumpStarWars are trolls paid for by Disney.

Disney is paying trolls to attack us for tweeting #DumpStarWars as if that will make us stop! — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) December 9, 2016

I don’t think any of these people were paid:

These #DumpStarWars folks are gonna be disappointed when they find out virtually every movie they love was written by people who hate Trump. — Cody Johnston (@drmistercody) December 9, 2016

White supremacists boycotting Star Wars is a bonus for people who don't want to be in the same room with white supremacists. #DumpStarWars — Aღanda (@GrnEyedMandy) December 9, 2016

Wait til these #DumpStarWars people find out about Indiana Jones. pic.twitter.com/bLr34E5PU7 — Patrick Shirley (@1PatrickShirley) December 9, 2016

We should all #DumpStarWars!

BREAKING NEWS: Movie series that has always had an antifascism theme criticizes a fascist wannabe. In other news, water is wet #DumpStarWars — Noah Poling (@Xmosphere) December 9, 2016

So far since they won, the "we don't need safe spaces" party has boycotted a play, a cereal brand and a movie for being mean. #DumpStarWars — Andrew idell (@AndrewIdell) December 9, 2016

Early estimates suggest that Rogue One will open next weekend with around $130 million. Those numbers may rise now that going to see Rogue One is suddenly a political statement against bigotry. I mean, we can stand against fascism and get two hours of entertainment? What a deal!
