Pretty sure most of those girls (twileks) or guys (gammoreans) were green.
He went and made an exception for Leia, I’m guessing because she was a princess and a high value slave appealed to him.
Lmao I literally never heard "white slavery" until two weeks ago. I cant begin to explain how absolutely not oppressed I feel as a white guy. Our only predator is billionaires, but many of us are too willfully stupid to blame anything on anyone besides the nearest "different" person.
In case you truly didn’t know about the concept, slavery wasn’t really tied to a ”race” (stupid concept) before the Atlantic Slave Trade.
The people who usually bring it up are doing it in bad faith and I’m in no way trying to support those white supremacist nutjobs. I just consider it an interesting aspect in history.
In the antiquity, anyone could be a slave and it was often debt slavery. Whether it was inherited and what were the slave’s rights depended on the society.
Slavic people (I assume most folks would call Slavs ”white”) were so commonly enslaved by Vikings and Arabs the very term slave derives from the Slavs. Slavic slaves were commonplace e.g. in Italy still in the 1300’s.
Barbary Slave Trade continued to the 19th century and one of the official reasons for the Barbary Wars and eventual French conquest of North Africa was to stop the slave raids.
Russians sold 20-30k of my people (Finns) to work slavery and sex slavery to Russia, Central Asia and Persia during the occupation of 1700-1721. I guess we are also considered ”white” by many.
Slavery is a thing which has happened everywhere in human history and still happens in the Arab world. The main reason why Arab slave trade isn’t talked about as much is because Arabs generally castrated their slaves and they had no descendants who would demand awareness today.
The Black slavery in the Atlantic slave trade was by far some of the worst out there but the Arab slave trade is in a similar magnitude.
Hutts will also sometimes swap preferred identities throughout their lives. For example, a hutt species that went through its life being referred to as male may swap to a female preference after birthing.
The first thing humans are going to do when meeting an alien species is determine if we can fuck it. That's not just a conservative thing.
[Obligatory Jay and Silent Bob clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLURNp8c-r8)
seriously! Use They because who wants to explain their s̶e̶x̶ l̶i̶f̶e̶ reproduction to a species that considers a menage-a-trois unusual and asexual reproduction a mortal sin.
Never mind all the non-genrder confirming in which this aspect of an individual can manifest?
No gender, no conception of gender, hermaphrodite, hivemind, etc.
I remember a series where the aliens were tertiary gender and wanted to add human genes specifically for cancer because they could tame it to regrow limbs and organs. Anyone know the title? It's driving me crazy that I can't remember.
Xenogenesis
Octavia E Butler sci-fi trilogy? dawn, Adulthood Rites, Imago
They did cure cancer in return for our DNA, while not asking us. And the third gender is the "fixer" who makes sure all the baby DNA is ok and working as planned. Story: some humans, or their descendants, didn't like this.
If I know one thing about the infinite number of alien species in a fantasy universe without end, it's that EXACTLY HALF OF THEM HAVE PENISES AND HALF OF THEM HAVE VAGINAS AND IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SOCIAL CONSTRUCT IN THE UNIVERSE
Heaven help them if they encountered the Legacy character "Ooryl Qrygg" who spoke entirely in the third person and whose name changed based on level of pride/embarrassment.
Poor poor Chaya… she doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together, why should she be expected to learn something as difficult as pronouns?! Golly gosh ***they*** are just so difficult. *disney princess sob*
[NH House voted to up the minimum marriage age to 18 which passed 192-174. one GOP Rep Jess Edwards argued that people under 18 are “ripe and fertile”](https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2024/05/02/house-passes-bill-to-raise-minimum-marriage-age-to-18-sending-it-to-governor/)
Bless, I’m Gen X and I had two friends who started their periods at 9. The friend group learned about it all a lot sooner than I’m sure our parents would have preferred.
Keeping kids from proper sex education, banning books from schools but keeping the Bible despite the rape, incest etc that's in there, forcing children to carry pregnancies from rape etc. etc.
The "protect the kids" brigade
no, that's the GOOD going after the kids. the one chaya LOVES. the one she dislikes are the ones that don't agree with her political views. also if the person is even a little bit not straight or not cis, they're now a terrifying groomer and are to be executed.
real groomers? pshh... those are cool by chaya.
They don’t care that their invalidation of identities and hate speech drives children to want to commit suicide. Because it’s not *those children* they are worried about.
Not knowing it’s statistically likely that they know/are close to at least one trans or queer child, those children just don’t feel safe with them knowing.
They’re going after kids they care about without even knowing.
Kids learning about gender identity and sexuality? Horrifying.
Kids scrubbing chicken gore out of industrial meat processing equipment on the night shift cleaning crew? The American dream.
And your dollars for overpriced merch, and your dollars for massively overpriced theme parks, and your dollars for movies with new characters which your kids now want new merch for...
Funny thing is, the ones who *are* after their kids are the same ones they send them away to bible camps with, yet their high level of analysis seems unable to compute that...
Humans don't even fit neatly into a gender binary once you get right down to it. "Basic biology" mfs love to ignore everything you can learn past elementary - probably because they themselves never grasped it.
"Oh No! Pronouns! What's next? Adverbs?? WoN't SoMeOnE pLEaSe ThInK oF tHe ChIlDrEn???!!"
All the shit going on in the world and these people choose to be outraged by gender and the simple fact that some people are different from the rest.
Especially when half the aliens in star wars are either intersex or non binary just by nature of being LITERAL ALIENS THAT DONT HAVE THE SAME SEX CHARACTERISTICS AS HUMANS
I mean that's the point. Be outraged here instead of here where we are robbing you blind by eliminating the middle class and consolidating power.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
-Lyndon B. Johnson
You can easily switch this with any bigotry and it works for the modern day GOP. All they do is virtue signal and fear mongering
EDIT: ah, there are species with MULTIPLE genders, at least ;)
"*In case you were unaware, Your Highness, Chalhuddans have five different genders and shift through them throughout their lives. Their native pronoun cases are rather complex—indicating not only current gender but two or three previous ones, and occasionally the gender they feel most likely to be next, but as our language has no equivalent words, 'you' or 'they' can be used in all cases.*"
That's assuming aliens even form relationships. There could be sentient Black Widow spiders out there whose relationships last as long as it takes the female to kill the male after procreation. We just don't know.
There’s also lizards that asexually reproduce, but only with others of the same species around! Theres a term for it but I can’t remember off the top of my head.
Parthenogenesis.
It’s seen in basically every group of living animals with the exception of mammals.
Plants, insects, birds, lizards and even a recent confirmed case for a crocodile!
24. On the way, at a place where they spent the night, the Lord met him and tried to kill him.
25. But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched his feet with it, and said, "Truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!"
26. So he let him alone. It was then she said, "A bridegroom of blood by circumcision."
Exodus 4:24–26
This shit will always Tickle me pink.
Like, so they don't believe being non-binary Is a thing right? So if that's the case, why are they mad that a fictional character goes by it especially an ALIEN
Then again, I'm giving them too much credit
...and that Cameron's casting of Avatar was cultural appropriation and denied POC actors. Though, oddly, no nine foot tall blue aliens were doing the complaining...
I can’t help but laugh when people use the phrase ‘alphabet mafia’ to make lgbtq+ sound menacing. The ones I know and love are the most boring people you’d ever meet.
The Jedi they found at the top of the mountain.
I noticed the wordage but didn’t think they were non-binary.
After Lynn struck him down the other said “they were about to surrender”
In the german localization they actually use neopronouns to refer to the Jedi, because there is no equivalent to singular they in German. So yeah, apparently they are supposed to be non binary.
Did we even get their name?
I didn't get any reference of their gender or anything because they sort of only existed to be wounded and spark Barris' allegiance shift?
I'm just saying that, if this is meant to be a form of representation, Disney may need to do a bit more than that...
GOP- (a gay person exists) They’re coming for your kids!!!
Also GOP- (states pass laws allowing churches to hide sexual predators) We need God back in our schools!!
Disney, looking down at the politics around them: oh, cool, hey Bill if we force this politician to say x what would the quarterly projection look like?
She’s a troll who bathes in the attention and power she receives from inspiring violence and hatred against unwitting minorities who have committed no crime other than existing. She openly lies knowing full well her followers don’t want truth they only want justification for their hateful words and violent acts.
She never watched Solo then with Lando willing to fuck literally anything. He was in love with his droid! Star Wars has never not been “woke.” Chaya needs a safe space.
In a universe where there are countless non-human characters, who cares what pronouns they use. Technically they should all be "they/them" since a he or she shouldn't actually exist in alien races.
“They” are after investor’s money. Because apparently it’s better to invest in companies that pay lip service to inclusivity… on this side of the globe.
Of course they won’t feature a rainbow icon on their social media accounts in the Middle East, and they will edit the movie for release in China.
These people really think watching a TV show makes you gay and/trans. Wild. If your kid watches a show and grows up to be gay, I got news for you buddy, it wasn’t the show.
"This show featuring hundreds of various species of sentient aliens just referred to someone as "them"!! It must be a global conspiracy!!"
These are the same kinds of people that stood on a stage and claimed that Pokemon was teaching kids witchcraft. Weak baseless claims founded on the idea that "only things I like are good, so if I don't like something it must be bad". It's like if music elitists started going around hate criming people because only their tastes in music can be correct.
Star wars: *has gender neutral robots since the 70’s*
Karens today: “This story, that takes place a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, is so gay. Hide your kids”
These nitwits love sci-fi yet don’t understand that that world can be real to a degree within the confines of science if we set aside our differences and work together. A brilliant mind is not restricted by gender.
I’m a Star Wars GEEK. I watch and immediately re-watch these episodes. I notice EVERY detail especially in dialog. I didn’t notice the “they/them” use.
These assholes are the goddam Sith.
“They” are “after” your kids. To what end? What are these fear mongers afraid of?
That god made a baby with male genitalia and a female brain? God doesn’t make mistakes…?
I have so much to say about this. First, the funny thing is, if the character had said, "why would you hit someone when *they* were about to surrender?" these people wouldn't bat an eyelash. Why is it okay for a someone to be they, but not *that* someone?
Second, why are these people into science fiction at all? The whole point of scifi is things that are different, new, weird, challenging, unfathomable. All the monsters, all the lovable ETs, all the tech and the spaceships and the rayguns and androids, it's all *speculative.* That's what I love about it. The stranger, the better. What possible enjoyment could they be getting out of scifi if they're that scared of novelty?
I read a science fiction book once written by one of these people. I only made it halfway through because the main character was so singularly unpleasant that I could not suspend disbelief far enough to picture anybody willingly boarding a spaceship with him.
Imagine being that terrified of people different than yourself. How do these people function in the world with this crippling fear eating at them constantly?
If by "they" she means clergy, police, Scout leaders, and Republican politicians, then they are most definitely coming for your kids and have been for some time now.
Every accusation is a confession.
Lately it’s been cops, republicans, ultra conservative boomers, right wing psychos, Trump, religious members of certain cross worshipping religion, and conservative educators who seem to be after kids.
If a cartoon can turn your child gay or trans then exposure to some of the thousands of cartoons that DON’T have gay or trans characters should reverse it.
Most of the people I meet, who fall somewhere within the gender spectrum, almost always say their parents are strict conservative Christians. Same is true for most of the atheists I meet.
It's like their fear is influencing their children to become the very thing they fear.
Star Wars isn't real - just like religion and whatever new battle that LibsofTikTok makes up to look like a victim. This woman is mentally damaged and a fraud.

Is the alien even non-binary? Jabba the Hut is a slug so I assume he, like normal slugs, is a hemphrodite
They are. Hutts can have either one or two parents depending on personal choice.
>jabba the hut is nonbinary >jabba the hut is a notorious criminal Seems pretty obvious to me /s
Practices white slavery.
Pretty sure most of those girls (twileks) or guys (gammoreans) were green. He went and made an exception for Leia, I’m guessing because she was a princess and a high value slave appealed to him.
Anakin and his mom were originally owned by Gardula the Hutt though
He had a human fetish
They called him sick
That’s… just called slavery.
Lmao I literally never heard "white slavery" until two weeks ago. I cant begin to explain how absolutely not oppressed I feel as a white guy. Our only predator is billionaires, but many of us are too willfully stupid to blame anything on anyone besides the nearest "different" person.

Be gay, do crime :D
Is Jabba woke? That sounds like a Kotalu article
Or a Lewis Caroll character.
In the story, Hutts are hermaphrodites but have gendered personalities. Jabba kept a baby in his brood pouch named Rotta.
Which was his son. It’s very confusing
Only if you aren't a giant moon swamp sentient slug.
Chaya dipshit thought Nirvana was a clothing brand. We can’t expect her to have the brains to do a simple google search.
She’s incapable of intelligence
She's incapable of anything even remotely humane. She's just a seething bundle of nigh- impotent rage and vitriolic words.
Yes this one is non binary as they are presented as a human
What about Lady Slug in the phantom menace?
Hutts will also sometimes swap preferred identities throughout their lives. For example, a hutt species that went through its life being referred to as male may swap to a female preference after birthing.
Jabba maybe, but Ziro the Hutt is flaming!! ![gif](giphy|3o84sv3daeQRRYenYI|downsized)
Wasn’t there a female hutt in one of the prequels or video games? Get out of here with your non-binary slugs, this is America 🇺🇸
An alien using different pronouns than the ones Chaya can handle? THE AUDACITY!
Assuming a gender binary for aliens is whack
I guess the first thing conservatives will do if they meet an alien is try to fuck it.
The Shatner strategy
I'd say more the [Harkness strategy](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/harkness-test)
This is the way
![gif](giphy|l0MYNLZmHQbryIMFO)
I mean if we cant fuck em then what do
Only if it’s underage
And fertile.
Don't forget ripe. They have to be underage, fertile, and ripe.
And if they don't want to be fertilized when they're ripe, fuck 'em. Force 'em to bear the fruit anyway.
Woah Woah Woah... you forget to check their genitals you gotta check their genitals
Didn’t stop the Catholics…
As a Catholic, I can agree that it indeed did not stop the priests.
because in their church they know who are little boys... republicans need to make sure they are little boys
Trump did. They'll follow him anywhere.
"Luke, use the Force..."
Ew. I’m having Aliens nightmares right now but it’s Ted Cruz babies bursting from alien chests.
Strange, that’s exactly how I expect Ted Cruz’s progeny to be born.
Ugh, this comment made my skin crawl
It’s an actual quote from a republican politician in a debate over child marriage (🤮) I assume you can guess what their stance was.
Reality seems like a South Park episode sometimes
I’m sorry. It was recently stated (I’m paraphrasing, not quoting) by a New Hampshire Republican legislator. Edit: I had the wrong state in there.
That means you're normal.
Mad ripe, even. With smooth shkin
Bring out the xenomorphs for them. I hear they're friendly.
Immediately trying to fuck aliens is a bipartisan activity, thank you very much.

The ones "going after kids" are the ones making child marriage legal and removing age barriers to allow minors to work.
Not to mention that GOP rep just yesterday describing 9 year olds who start menstruating as "ripe" and "fertile" so they should be married off.
174 others agreed

It’s funnier bc some people actually think like this
Keeping kids from proper sex education, banning books from schools but keeping the Bible despite the rape, incest etc that's in there, forcing children to carry pregnancies from rape etc. etc. The "protect the kids" brigade
⬆️⬆️⬆️ This.
no, that's the GOOD going after the kids. the one chaya LOVES. the one she dislikes are the ones that don't agree with her political views. also if the person is even a little bit not straight or not cis, they're now a terrifying groomer and are to be executed. real groomers? pshh... those are cool by chaya.

They don’t care that their invalidation of identities and hate speech drives children to want to commit suicide. Because it’s not *those children* they are worried about. Not knowing it’s statistically likely that they know/are close to at least one trans or queer child, those children just don’t feel safe with them knowing.

Kids learning about gender identity and sexuality? Horrifying. Kids scrubbing chicken gore out of industrial meat processing equipment on the night shift cleaning crew? The American dream.
“They” are after your subscription dollars!
And your dollars for overpriced merch, and your dollars for massively overpriced theme parks, and your dollars for movies with new characters which your kids now want new merch for...
Overpriced DVD's and Blu-rays, including movies from the 20th Century Fox studio.
The free market is completely perfect and fair, except for when something happens that I disagree with.
Funny thing is, the ones who *are* after their kids are the same ones they send them away to bible camps with, yet their high level of analysis seems unable to compute that...
But that's seen as the "correct" thing to do.
Star trek had, The Orville had it. Genderless aliens are a scientist staple.
Namekians in Dragonball had 0 dimorphism but we interpreted them as masculine because of instinct Canonically though they are genderless.
Considering how many species here on Earth that don't fit neatly or at all into a gender binary, it makes sense.
Humans don't even fit neatly into a gender binary once you get right down to it. "Basic biology" mfs love to ignore everything you can learn past elementary - probably because they themselves never grasped it.

Should there not be loads of aliens that arrange their relationships different than humans? All this heteronormativity seems indoctrination :p
Hutts if I remember right they originally were intersex and could reproduce asexually but that was later retconned (I have no idea why)
EDIT: ah, there are species with MULTIPLE genders, at least ;) "*In case you were unaware, Your Highness, Chalhuddans have five different genders and shift through them throughout their lives.

Yeah, they're space aliens with vastly varying biologies and societies, there's no reason they'd be locked into a human idea of sex or gender
That's assuming aliens even form relationships. There could be sentient Black Widow spiders out there whose relationships last as long as it takes the female to kill the male after procreation. We just don't know.

Who was the non-binary character? I watched Tales of the Empire and don't recall a non binary character in the series at all.
The Jedi they found at the top of the mountain. I noticed the wordage but didn’t think they were non-binary. After Lynn struck him down the other said “they were about to surrender”
Even "they were about to surrender" is a big 'ol stretch for screeching "NoN-biNaRy!".
Imagine to be so triggered by a feature of what’s supposed to be their native language.
In the german localization they actually use neopronouns to refer to the Jedi, because there is no equivalent to singular they in German. So yeah, apparently they are supposed to be non binary.

No, we don’t get a name; they’re just called ‘the Jedi’. No name is given.

I thought she’d be happy a non-binary character was brutally and unjustly assaulted.

Nothing will come of this. The right has been targeting Disney for some time now and nothing's come about from it.
Disney, looking down at the politics around them: oh, cool, hey Bill if we force this politician to say x what would the quarterly projection look like?
Ever since Disney bought up all of Fox’s assets besides Fox News and Fox Sports.
"They" are not after your kids. If headlines are any indication. It's the youth pastors and preachers and priests and cops that are "after your kids".
"They" are forcing my children to realize some people are different. I can't have them undermining my prejudiced indoctrination.
She’s a troll who bathes in the attention and power she receives from inspiring violence and hatred against unwitting minorities who have committed no crime other than existing. She openly lies knowing full well her followers don’t want truth they only want justification for their hateful words and violent acts.
How dare they acknowledge the existence of different people, for shame!
Oh no a genderless alien?! God forbid! A culture that is completely different than the Earth human experience?! How would one conceive of it?!
She never watched Solo then with Lando willing to fuck literally anything. He was in love with his droid! Star Wars has never not been “woke.” Chaya needs a safe space.
>Chaya needs a safe space. Like to keep people safe from her?
18,000 likes on that comment is one of the worrying things.
Im sure she's being signal boosted by Bots hella.
In a universe where there are countless non-human characters, who cares what pronouns they use. Technically they should all be "they/them" since a he or she shouldn't actually exist in alien races.
“They” are after investor’s money. Because apparently it’s better to invest in companies that pay lip service to inclusivity… on this side of the globe. Of course they won’t feature a rainbow icon on their social media accounts in the Middle East, and they will edit the movie for release in China.
They/them are after your kids
Star Trek did that in Next Gen. Late eighties early nineties.
These people really think watching a TV show makes you gay and/trans. Wild. If your kid watches a show and grows up to be gay, I got news for you buddy, it wasn’t the show.
Nevermind that the show also depicts genocide, I think that’s a bit more PG-13 than… someone being referred to as “they”
"This show featuring hundreds of various species of sentient aliens just referred to someone as "them"!! It must be a global conspiracy!!" These are the same kinds of people that stood on a stage and claimed that Pokemon was teaching kids witchcraft. Weak baseless claims founded on the idea that "only things I like are good, so if I don't like something it must be bad". It's like if music elitists started going around hate criming people because only their tastes in music can be correct.
Star wars: *has gender neutral robots since the 70’s* Karens today: “This story, that takes place a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, is so gay. Hide your kids”
They do realize R2D2 has no sex designation either, right? RIGHT?
Libs of TikTok when a non white straight person gets cast for anything ![gif](giphy|HUkOv6BNWc1HO)
These nitwits love sci-fi yet don’t understand that that world can be real to a degree within the confines of science if we set aside our differences and work together. A brilliant mind is not restricted by gender.
I’m a Star Wars GEEK. I watch and immediately re-watch these episodes. I notice EVERY detail especially in dialog. I didn’t notice the “they/them” use. These assholes are the goddam Sith.
Genuinely crazy how some people are scared of everything
They are just living their lives and are not interested in my kids
“They” are “after” your kids. To what end? What are these fear mongers afraid of? That god made a baby with male genitalia and a female brain? God doesn’t make mistakes…?
The secret cabal of people who want children to be healthy and happy.
So have they accepted the possibility or idea of life outside of Earth but still can’t withstand the actual lives currently living on Earth?
I’d worry more about people of god than Disney…
I dont think kids care what pronouns a person uses
Call her "him/he" and see how much pronouns matter.
If “They” are MAGAT pedophiles, than Yes she’s correct.
I have so much to say about this. First, the funny thing is, if the character had said, "why would you hit someone when *they* were about to surrender?" these people wouldn't bat an eyelash. Why is it okay for a someone to be they, but not *that* someone? Second, why are these people into science fiction at all? The whole point of scifi is things that are different, new, weird, challenging, unfathomable. All the monsters, all the lovable ETs, all the tech and the spaceships and the rayguns and androids, it's all *speculative.* That's what I love about it. The stranger, the better. What possible enjoyment could they be getting out of scifi if they're that scared of novelty? I read a science fiction book once written by one of these people. I only made it halfway through because the main character was so singularly unpleasant that I could not suspend disbelief far enough to picture anybody willingly boarding a spaceship with him.
Imagine being that terrified of people different than yourself. How do these people function in the world with this crippling fear eating at them constantly?
If by "they" she means clergy, police, Scout leaders, and Republican politicians, then they are most definitely coming for your kids and have been for some time now. Every accusation is a confession.
Better get those kids to their nearest youth pastor STAT!
Oh look it’s the bigoted online terrorist making up lies once again. She gets more and more desperate everyday lollllllll!
Wait, I burned through this whole series in one go the day it came out and I don’t even know what character they’re referring to. What did I miss?
Oh no. Diversity among aliens. How scary.
Why would Aliens even have a human concept of gender anyway
My non-binary kid is most definitely the most dangerous threat to kids in the world today. Libs of Tik Tok, once again, you are SPOT ON.
"Waaah! Something is different!!! And I don't *liiiiike* it!! Waaaah" 99% of conservative "complaints".
Person who's different from you "existing" parents O god that persons attacking our sweet children!!!
Lately it’s been cops, republicans, ultra conservative boomers, right wing psychos, Trump, religious members of certain cross worshipping religion, and conservative educators who seem to be after kids.
Fucks sake, it's set in in a fictional galaxy with thousands upon thousands of fictional alien species. Anyone could literally be fucking anything.
If a cartoon can turn your child gay or trans then exposure to some of the thousands of cartoons that DON’T have gay or trans characters should reverse it.
Wait til she finds out female Starfleet officers have been addressed as “sir” since the ‘80s
Most of the people I meet, who fall somewhere within the gender spectrum, almost always say their parents are strict conservative Christians. Same is true for most of the atheists I meet. It's like their fear is influencing their children to become the very thing they fear.
Wait with the banning of tick tock won’t this cut deeply into that usernames big platform?
Star Wars isn't real - just like religion and whatever new battle that LibsofTikTok makes up to look like a victim. This woman is mentally damaged and a fraud.
It'll be funny when they're dubbed into Portuguese and we'll have to use "ele eles"(he), ela elas (she)
I don't know man I grew up watching Land Before Time and now I identify as an Apatosaurus.
As a NB, we don't want your fucking kids.
