Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

He didn't expect a "movie made for 13 year olds" to be so popular initially. After, he decided to roll the dice for "5 year olds" in the prequel series. I find those concepts so telling about the disconnect between art and film production. If ratings are an initial constraint where the arbitrary minimum age is considered a limiting factor, it explains why so much content lacks depth and complexity. To a large extent, that media sets the bar for cultural expectations which bleed into and permeate all aspects of society even a political sphere where the benchmark of preteen depth of argument is an illusive and fleeting expectation. Lucas' comments on the age targets for SW really shed some light on Western culture. The naming just adds, it wasn't some elaborately intricate plan from the start.
I think it's funny that Disney now has this 'Jedi Tales' show that is supposed to be 'Star Wars for little kids.'
Star Wars for little kids when I was a little kid in the late 70s and early 80s was Star Wars.
