It's one thing for a jedi apologist to oddly claim Slick was lying about wanting freedom and lying that the Jedi "kept [his] brothers enslaved", it's another for that someone to become increasingly hostile with their reblogs and tags just because others like me disagree as well as misrepresenting, dismissing and even calling other people's opinions "propaganda" like we're the Kremlin.

Hmm. My 'bad' I dared stumble on their blog in my feed and disagree with them on a post or two by saying I felt the Jedi could have done more for the clone troopers and Ahsoka in canon, which they started aggressively responding to weeks later.

But, the crowning moment of toxicity? They compared my point that I can criticise the Jedi Order, their actions and still enjoy Jedi characters while still acknowledging their flaws... to being 'homophobic', right during Pride Month. Since I'm gay, that is a gross tactic I can't abide.

Just great. Disingenuously using real-life, minority groups as a meat shield for your fictional, magical lightsaber favs really shows your priorities in life. Overzealous stans, whatever fictional character or group you're stanning, stop using real minority groups as meat shields to protect your feelings and your favourite characters from criticism.
