Is this named The Nightly Show because it comes on at night or because its a cheap knockoff of The Daily Show that puts you to sleep?
"Nerds are upset with black Stormtroopers in the new Star Wars movie." Wait, people were mad about that?
[QUOTE=Banned?;47371491]"Nerds are upset with black Stormtroopers in the new Star Wars movie." Wait, people were mad about that?[/QUOTE] i feel like a lot of it was ironic but i mean there were a few people genuinely upset either because racism or whatever
I think that people who don't understand the internet think the internet rages more simply because of Poe's Law. That and we don't have a complete indexed archive of every single opinion by every individual from a very large selection of the world's population in relation to specific contexts being introduced to us at all hours of the day that we are out in the real public. Thus, because the internet is essentially an indexed archive, you develop a skewed view of the magnitude to which something exists, simply because one test group, the physical general public, is both smaller, less recorded, and represents a much smaller demographic than the internet.

[QUOTE=Banned?;47371491]"Nerds are upset with black Stormtroopers in the new Star Wars movie." Wait, people were mad about that?[/QUOTE] I saw plenty of people complaining about how it was "affirmative action" or "forced diversity" or whatever. Even though it's not like Star Wars was devoid of black characters.

[QUOTE=Banned?;47371491]"Nerds are upset with black Stormtroopers in the new Star Wars movie." Wait, people were mad about that?[/QUOTE] Idiots were, real nerds weren't. What the retards don't realize is that palpatine axes the clone program and recruits from subjugated or allied planets. Obviously this includes all races (but not aliens there are no alien stormtroopers in palpatine's army, only humans).
i never saw anyone upset at the black stormtrooper
