Star Wars is supposed to be a fun, nostalgic romp through space. Not anymore. With Episode 7, the franchise has taken a turn towards the dark side. Alarmingly, Episode 7 showed extremely sexist attitudes towards the characterization of the male characters. Even worse, the franchise showed inappropriate characterization of women by placing every female character on pedestals and blatantly using the 'Mary Sue'-aka a woman character who can do no wrong-for its protagonist.

This is unacceptable. In 2017, we should be striving for acceptance of everyone regardless of gender, not engaging in reverse sexism. The only way to show Disney that reverse sexism will not be accepted by America is to boycott Episode 8.

Support equality. Boycott Star Wars Episode 8.
