Baby Yoda, who one year ago today cozied into the hearts of Star Wars fans with his bottomless eyes, fuzzy head, and adorable cooing, has invoked genuine social media wrath for last week's episode of The Mandalorian, in which the mystical infant remorselessly snacked on the eggs of an endangered galactic species.
In Chapter 10 of the Disney+ show, titled The Passenger, Pedro Pascal's bounty hunter agrees to ferry an amphibious alien woman known only as Frog Lady to a swampy distant world so she can fertilize her canister of eggs, which floated in the brine like peeled apricots. (Usually this show conjures memories of Boba Fett, but these called to mind boba tea.)

Amy Sedaris' starship mechanic explains that if Frog Lady doesn't succeed in reuniting with her spouse before the equinox, the eggs will no longer be viable and her line will end." That adds some dramatic significance to the cargo, although there remains debate about whether that meant only her family line will end or if the loss of these eggs would end of her species entirely.

Then the unspeakable occurs. Throughout the episode, Baby Yoda is caught reaching his little green claw into her unsupervised container in order to gorge himself on the inappropriate morsels.

The Mandalorian plays this for gross-out laughsbut a contingent of fans on Twitter has taken the actions seriously, and has expressed anger and sadness that the series would make light of something that is both a personal invasion and a potential extinction-level event.

I just wanna know who thought this was a good idea. Like... 'we have this woman whose species is facing extinction and she's very protective of these her eggs.' We should have Baby Yoda eat them. Hey yay dude, bro high five Like what????" one Twitter user posted on Nov. 9. (Vanity Fair is excluding links to protect people from harassment.)

Gosh, Baby Yoda is losing the charm, another posted on Nov. 6. I hated him because he ate the eggs of a lady frog and her species. IT'S AN EXTINCTION!!!!
Another wrote: Baby Yoda not knowing any better...genocide for sake of cute humor is never very funny. I mean, I laughed but I felt really guilty about it.
Still others expressed disgust that an actual toy that features Baby Yoda and the eggs is being sold. It concerns me that The Childs appetite might lead to the end of a family line (or maybe the extinction of a species IDK). But hey the kid is adorable, so heres a POP celebrating that genocide,"


Toss Baby Yoda in a blender cuz we are done with him.

It's actually a pretty funny read. Misses the point of what people were complaining about but that kinda makes it funnier.

It was a joke about thanking God for a guy who doesn't believe in him. Have you seen Religulous or however you spell it? Funny ass movie.

What were people complaining about?

The episode was insensitive to women with fertility issues or something like that was the discourse online. I just think it's all a little bit silly but Baby Yoda was a fucking dick in that last episode and deserves to get his ass beat til he's barely breathing regardless.

I thought Baby Yoda was a vegan before this ep for some reason. I thought that race in general were vegans. Dunno if I pulled that out of my ass but sure seems like I did.
