I thought this was pretty good, but had to skip to the end to make sure there wasn't some sick burn waiting for me.

She is awesome for sure, but the core men around her had their own stuff going on. Bait is bait

This shit right here got me teary eyed. Well done OP

You don't know what Luke has been up to!
NickBlight
People just gotta bang that feminazi drum to anything don't they?
MapToTheCrunch
I'm glad you got your "See how I'm better than you?" rant out of the way first there, Anne.

Or we could talk about how Carrie Fisher was a beacon of hope and visibility for coping with mental illness

Han came back in Ep 4 and then became a leader for the rebellion, albeit a reluctant one. And when did Luke stop fighting? Did I miss that?

EyeZedEe
Calm down.
RepostFromLastWeek
Why even compare to Han? Wasn't Han a low level criminal with zero interest in participating the whole rebellion?
ChicagoStyleDotHog
Only some shook imgur dudes could possibly find this shit offensive.
InfinityAero
They did her no favors with the General role in TFA. Screenplay wasn't great and she was barely in the movie. I'll take ROTJ Leia any day.

I'm afraid for society because so many people view film and television as actual events
Menasyng
People also believe that Washington "couldn't tell a lie." When we can't find strength in reality, we do it in fiction. It's human.Let them.
JuhRenDuan
Her character got in a few fights, survived, planned and executed plans, but she didn't fight Vader in hand to hand combat.
nathandlord
A character... from a story... Clifford the big red dog left home one day & found his way back home... maybe we should be more like him too?
Menasyng
People have looked up to fictionalized characters since the get-go. Hell, even US' founding fathers are largely fictionalized to children.
Menasyng
In other words, let people enjoy things. Let them find strength in wherever they can. Stop being a dick.
ReaperNo1
Princess Leia was crucial to winning the Rebellion. "General" Leia let it all go to shit to the point the legit gov needed a resistance.
malbec
Yeah it's just too bad "General" sounds more impressive than "Princess" or the author may have made some fucking sense
realwomenfightnaked
I hate this shit

Gustie13
This is kind of pathetic. It's a movie character!
JaredKidd
Wow... I bet you're fun at parties /s
Gustie13
Ha, as if I get invited to parties
Menasyng
Let people enjoy things, let them find strength where they can. Stop being a dick.

This Anne Thériault comes of as really pretentious
Panzer89
You should give her Twitter a read...she's just...well...you'll see.
1Plebian
It bugs me when a feminist compares their icon as being better then men in the same situation. Isn't the point of your movement to stop 1/?
1Plebian
That trend? Let it be about the actual accomplishments instead of a gender contest. A gender contest doesn't end in equality and respect.
DaisukeAramaki
Fucking thank you. Exactly this.
Menasyng
While I agree, there's nothing wrong with pretension. It's a subjective thing.
YouWillNotLikeThis
characterized by assumption of dignity or importance, especially when exaggerated or undeserved
Menasyng
Undeserved by what standard? Jealousy? Moral impunity? Subjective.
YouWillNotLikeThis
In this context; moral. She makes all sorts of claims about why her view of carry fisher is the right one
Menasyng
The girl is a cunt, but I'm taking prevention in general. It's thrown around as an insult where it stems from (oft unfounded) confidence.
Menasyng
Wow mobile. Thanks for the pretension* and talking* mistakes.
PruneFaceManOfLegend
There is no General Organa without everything she did as Princess... why make it seem like they're different people. She's the same 1/2
PruneFaceManOfLegend
Just rocking a different role. I understand that she has been a great force for women everywhere but don't dig into it so much & badger
itslikeimwipingamarker
Bruh does she know Princess Leia was just a character? This bitch think Star Wars was a documentary.
MetalSkeletal
Wait... wut? I just asked Santa and the Easter Bunny and they said you're full of shit. Wait until the tooth fairy gets here!
itslikeimwipingamarker
Is this dr faggot
PoofybirdDesign
It's probably a reaction to all the RIP Princess Leia posts.
JaredKidd
You're missing the point
zoool
Thaaaank you!
ESTLY
All these "may the force be with her" messages are dumb as fuck.
theoldgaffer
Not to mention super cringe and obvious attempts to seem witty but aren't. Just like the unoriginal Merry Xmas you filthy animal posts lol
Menasyng
Or, like many, she finds strength and inspiration where she can. Let her. Even the US' founding fathers are fictionalized for reverence.
LuftMeister
Yeah, but the point is they actually existed.
Menasyng
Not in the way most people remember them. They've become deified lies. People are inspired by religion, and even superheroes. Let them.
StonesOnTheHill
But the characters they have become are only partly the people they were.
LuftMeister
But the point is still that there is a part from the whole. As opposed to comics.
atticusrexus
To hate on Princess Leia is pretty narrow-minded. It was Princess Leia who hiked up her dress and took charge of the rebellion. 1/2
iamthisguy247
magneticmagic3
She literally says "princess leia was great". Stop sowing discord where there isn't any just b/c she values something different than you.
docwilco
Thank you.
tatischief
And the one time she was in bikini she strangled the bad guy with her own bikini chain. Not bad either.
Weentit
To hate on this post is pretty narrow-minded. It was @anne_thiraeult who hyped up her tweet and took charge of her rebellion.
atticusrexus
I'm dying here! Pahahahaha
atticusrexus
It was Princess Leia who kicked ass on Endor. It was Princess Leia who didn't take shit from her father, Han or Luke. 2/3
atticusrexus
So take that feminist babble and go to tumblr. Princess Leia kicked ass for girls. 3/2
Spiralhaze
Princess Leia killed the shit out of Jabba.
HothRebelsForLife
It was Princess Leia that originally got things moving with the plans and it was her that a lot of rebels gladly followed all over
littlemorte
MeanWinchester
You're an idiot if you somehow managed to take this post as anti-leia. She literally said "princess Leia is great" >
MeanWinchester
But she was more inspired by General Leia, and you know what, she made some damned good points, but don't worry, that doesn't invalidate >
MeanWinchester
Anything that princess Leia did, or stop you from being more inspired by the Princess than the general. So let's not fight over this
malbec
"Puts up with so much shit from so many men" aaaaand there's the mysandry toxic feminism that we knew was coming.
conspiramid
At least she used the death of a widely respected person as a platform for it though, right?
cam8001
Dude a bro literally tortured her and then another one blew up her planet
JaredKidd
An anti feminism comment on imgur? How surprising /s
Katlamos
I'll call out toxic fake feminists when I see them but I think you need to drink a little less redpill koolaid cause this ain't that.
magneticmagic3
Name a single woman who was a foil/nemesis to Princess Leia. It's not 'feminism' it's the way George Lucas wrote the story.

hobospacegandalf
Mysandry isn't an adjective, but I guess at your level of reasoning just stringing words together is impressive. This isn't toxic feminism.
malbec
Autocorrect fail,took out the "and" but I don't get on Imgur to type good or sober. But then again your only counter point was how I said it
oldmatesoldmate
But, I mean, they are literally all men. How is pointing that out "toxic"?
impossibleodds
She could've said "people" instead and not made it sexist.
ChloePrice
Yeah but it's not sexist if it's true. Literally only male characters in Star Wars do bad shit.
impossibleodds
Yeah but that's by accident, not on purpose. Also, I haven't seen it yet, but isn't there some lady storm trooper leader in Force Awakens?
ChloePrice
Yeah that's true actually. I guess what she wanted to convey with those tweets is that Leia has grown into a character that women can 1/2
Alozar
Ventress, Aurra Sing, Talzin, Barriss Offee. There's four canon characters I can think of off the top of my head. More in Legends.
magneticmagic3
In the movies, because that is the venue in which Carrie Fisher was Princess Leia, are there any?
