The Acolyte 01 x 02: Let’s Call it an Aggressive Negotiation!

Hello, we're back! Deep Dive into Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 2 - Revenge/Justice | Toxic Fandom & Queer Lens In this episode, we deep dive into Episode 2 of Star Wars: The Acolyte - Revenge/Justice. Join us as we discuss our new views on how we plan to interact with the toxic side of fandom. We address navigating those most disgusting statements and comments head-on. We are thrilled to announce that we’re unapologetically making content for the queer community. While we welcome everyone at our table, our focus is on creating queer content specifically for our LGBTQ+ audience. WE’re super excited to continue our discussion on viewing the Jedi through a queer lens. We delve into fascinating conversations about how the Jedi seek peace in the galaxy, but similar to many churches, they seek the peace they determine is acceptable. We discuss how the 'villains' in this series use everyday citizens to help discover the Jedi, highlighting the beginning of undermining the ‘Dream’ the Sith Lord mentions in the premiere episode. Additionally, we analyze the conversation towards the end of this episode between Sol and Vern, where they disagree on taking action or engaging in meaningful discussion. What would you do - take action or discuss? Tune into this VERY Pink Milk episode where we connect the amazing storytelling of The Acolyte to today's social issues, from Roe v. Wade to the current challenges facing our trans siblings in the LGBTQ+ community and what the future may hold for us all. Thank you for tuning in!
