Recipe for an Internet Outrage Scandal: Star Wars “Rogue One” Edition

Disney released the new Star Wars trailer and the buzz on social media looks like the perfect ingredients for an internet outrage story! This time with the spin off series, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (hopefully a working title), starring yet another female lead.

Another female lead, you say?

Cue the turds on YouTube:

Then you add the inevitable Twitter reaction:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And just a bit of online trolling:

 

 

 

 

 

With a man desperately trying to impress the ladies with his feminism:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And just a pinch of pseudo-intellectual sexism:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And voilà, the perfect outrage story is born.

Mmmmm, just like the social media-based non-stories my mom used to make.
