I think it's more just his design, I thought he LOOKED straight up BA. But when they introduced the whole almost Clayface from Batman abilities, it was a bit much for me too. If I remember right, he was like literally impossible to kill with usual tactics. Lightsabers, blasters, explosives, melee attacks, force attacks, it either wouldn't much phase him or he'd just regenerate even from like a single cell. That's some OP Wolverine type BS. I want to say, in the old Dark Horse Clone Wars comic, he's finally killed off for good when Anakin locks him in an escape pod and sends it into a sun. I mean yeah, that'll do it, but it's all so over the top. More like a superhero comic character than a SW one. But I just can't deny his design was awesome.I don't get why people love that Durge character so much - saw him in the old CW series, seemed too silly and OP to me.
That's completely bat**** crazy! And yet sadly, you're absolutely right. We have to bend the knee to these psychos just to maintain the peace. Now I do believe they are a vast minority, though have seemingly surged in popularity, but still a minority. The issue is, they just search out or even fabricate social injustices when they're not there...just to feel important or noticed. But where it becomes a problem is...boy do they have venomously big mouths. They'll screen-cap something you said entirely out of context and then have their fellow social justice warriors mob you, complete strangers! They'll borderline stalk you and send it to your employer in an attempt to have you fired of publicly humiliated and disgraced. Then they'll sanctimoniously make claims that they're "Doing the right thing," as if you're some hidden Nazi or something because you...let's say don't like Rose's character and had the gull to say it on social media. How dare you, you deserve punished! These people aren't exactly dealing with a full deck, if you get my meaning...frankly, let's be honest here, it's a display of tragically untreated and ignored mental illness.The other day, and I screenshot it, in one of the 6" customizer Facebook groups, a guy had made a really awesome Chewbacca and Solo - sort of Guerilla style with warpaint (Solo) - most of the face was black with red around the mouth area.
The first comment was "Not what I was expecting to see this morning. Im sure you didn't mean it, but uh, this looks like blackface".
It's an action figure, with warpaint... the customizer went on to add some more colorful paint so there was no doubt it wasn't blackface ...

it's sad that we have to take a knee to this kind of crazy, but that's my opinion. It's very much a reflection of the times we live in right now.
The sentence being that innocent comment on him understanding why fans are passionate (and angry with TLJ)?Having just read the Anthony daniels book too, it is quite plain that the sentence he is being dragged over the coals for online has been completely taken out of context given the rest of the paragraph.
Attention-seeking obnoxious posters is my diagnosis.
I've actually been wanting to pick that up. If I may, what does the full context say? I mean I wasn't offended by it even out of context. Hah! I believe I'm actually the one who made the Anthony Daniels post, I was more so offended that people were offended by what he said and were then attacking him and the character of C-3PO. Really devaluing him. It was rather sad. Now I will confess though, the real autobiography I'm waiting on is none other than Mark Hamill. I mean he's been almost crossing the line already with his sincere opinion, likely because he knows Disney can't fire him. As of now though, he can only get away with saying so much though. But once the press is done on TROS....he's out. His contract is over I'd assume. Mark unleashed...just what will he say THEN? I'm dying to know!Having just read the Anthony daniels book too, it is quite plain that the sentence he is being dragged over the coals for online has been completely taken out of context given the rest of the paragraph.
