Andor's showrunner has confirmed its enormous budget, and it seems unlikely Disney will ever do something like that again for Star Wars.

    It’s saying that SV is a mundane and obvious part of empire building. Leaving it out carries its own risks, just as depicting it carries other risks.

    Well you see akshually in my toy empire it shows real empire chews people up like you, I love toy empire media. I will defend this use of “art” in my toy empire at the expense of limiting access to media for actual victims. I’m so glad toy empire show is so popular I can’t stop talking about it I hope they make more and get more profit

      Is this aimed at your fellow hexbears? Some of us are SA victims and it would be really shitty to label us as childish SA enthusiasts just because you’ve spent the past 3 years quietly seething over disney slop being popular on a communist website.

          They’re arguing the characterisation of it as a

          garbage show that uses SV to make itself seem “serious” and “gritty”

          And getting carried away I think

      Maybe I should treat survivers as damaged people who can’t cope with the realities of empire. Perhaps that will show how ethical and measured of a person I am for making trauma the essential variable that determines your value. Afterall it’s all make believe. It’s just a commodity. You don’t exist and neither do I. Why should I care how imperialism is depicted?
