To deal with TLJ fan backlash.

Theres a sort of double edged sword there. You can get really great engagement. But then theres what happened with Kelly [Marie Tran] about the small subset people who are very vocal and very negative, and having to navigate that.
Being in this position, you just understand the masses, how the masses think, you know. Through social media, we get to engage, we get to have fun. But at the same time, for those who are not mentally strong, you are weak to believe in every single thing that you read. Thats, you know, it is what it is. I dont know, for me anyway, when I see that [backlash], Im like, well, thats actually not true. But no, it is actually not true. So its kind of like [shrugs] it is what it is. But to engage, to connect with the fans who otherwise wouldnt get a day to day experience, especially during things like the press tour, and behind the scenes stuff, is always good.

Hmm could have said this much better.

I felt bad for the backlash she received especially because there wasnt any truth behind it, so Im hoping she was able to ignore all the negativity and not let it bring her down too much.

To be fair, some of the backlash against her was pretty racist.

The backlash against her was gross, misogynistic, and racist, and I see in this topic we got users calling her a bitch. Pathetic.

It's really easy to criticize her when you're not the one receiving death threats from a bunch of psycho man children. Remember what happened to the kid that played Anakin? Star Wars fans are the worst types of fans.

lmfao first Daisy goes all dumbass comparing her upbringing and privilege to that of a black man's and now Boyega's basically victim blaming his on-screen love(???) interest for breaking down to the worst human beings in fandom.

TLJ is so incredibly toxic Disney should just delete that movie from existence and change the canon trilogy to just part 1 & 2.

The fault for all of this is pretty clear. None of it rests on Boyega, Tran, Ridley, Driver, or Isaac. It's on Disney, Rian, JJ Abrams (for trusting Rian), and on the fans who went after the actors for the colossal fuckups of Disney and directors.

Sometimes I wonder if Disney is actually directing them to say controversial things, just to drum up free advertising
