But wait, there's another petition to keep D&D off of Star Wars.
Sign the Petition
Best comment so far from that link:
We need a more diverse and thoughtful crew of better writers to do Star Wars.
D & D handled diversity and rape terribly on Game of Thrones. Despite George RR Martin’s book taking place in a time period and world where slavery did not have to do with race, D & D still succumbed to subconscous mental conditioning that the freed slaves need to be cast as black and brown people while the rest of the actors (with very few minor character exceptions) are white. This created a deep white savior narrative with Dany freeing the slaves and them calling her “mother”. Then Missandei who is the only black woman gets executed only for the purpose of pushing along Dany’s plot, which was rushed and nonsensical anyways. Two cases of rape on the show were handled so badly in that they were painted where the woman who was raped got over it quickly and fell in love with her rapist (or was already in love and it didn’t really affect the relationship). This is referring to Dany’s rape by Khal Drogo and Cersei’s rape by Jaime (he was actually viewed as “more righteous” in that scene and afterwards because she is a “hateful woman”, so I guess it’s okay to rape a “hateful woman” as long as “the Gods have made you love her”.
So long story short, they should not be responsible for the writing of major films with this much cultural impact. We need to have more women and people of color on these writing teams, production teams, and directorial positions, period.
Yes let me sign it.
We have to mess up their coins
