This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Replying from my phone, so this'll be a shorter response until I get to my keyboard again.

I haven't checked - and don't intend to check - the parent threads, so I must've missed somebody calling you an incel, unless you meant to say, in a humoristic way, that I did that indirectly by linking to that video. I meant to share the video without even the slightest intent of sarcasm or ridicule or the likes. I'm 99.99% sure you know that, but I just wanted to have that said. Just in case.

Live in authenticity whenever you can, and don’t feel ashamed whenever you need to wear a mask to survive in this cruel world. They don’t deserve to know the real you.

These words are so powerful. Thank you! May I put this on my profile with your handle next to it? Check out my current profile page for reference, as I have already done so with one other quote, if you don't know what format I'm referring to.

Nah, someone definitely called me an incel, and even doubled down when I called them out on it.

I know that wasn't your intention, you were just sharing the video because it helped you come to your own awakening. Thanks for the clarification though :)

Feel free to use the quote, but it's up to you whether you include the attribution or just make it anonymous.

reasons why:

I tend to butt heads with a lot of people, even people that I mostly agree with (mostly when they can't tolerate slight semantic or logical critiques or nuanced arguments that don't conform 100% to their predefined scripts).

Oddly enough, I've even been banned from a number of blahaj comms (all in one go, by one mod, for a discussion on lemmy.world...) because they thought I was being a transphobic troll for saying that sex assigned at birth is relevant information in medical contexts. Like, even while I was on HRT I understood that my doctor needed to know that information...

So if you don't want the stigma permanently tied to my username to rub off on you, it's totally fine if you just make the quote anonymous. If it helps you, or anyone who visits your profile and reads it, then that's enough. I don't need credit.
