First off, wecome to Steemit! This is an awesome global community with both a lot of similar interests represented as well as diverse people. You can't ask for more diversity than Steemit... :)

I guess I'm just older and more set in my ways, but for me Star Wars was magical as a kid. I guess I just can't relate to it anymore as an adult.

My only real beef is not with diversity or women, it's how poorly men are portrayed in general. It's rampant everywhere these days. I'm tired of how men and masculine qualities are no longer held as good but are only highlighted in negative ways. It turns me off.

• Luke - A whiny out of touch male who is a quitter.
• Finn - A coward as much as a hero who constantly needs saving
• Poe - A loose canon who acts brashly and irresponsibly
• Kylo - Typical evil white guy
• Supreme Leader Snoke - The evil patriarchy

Were there any faults in any of the female characters, not really. I just want balance I suppose. What am I supposed to tell me young boys? Men are evil and can't be trusted to get the job done? Great female and male characters is what I want. I don't mind women or other ethnicities taking the lead. I'm just tired of, well, being ashamed of being a while male (Or at least being told I should be ashamed).

Sorry for the rant. I did actually enjoy to movie as well. But not nearly as much as I would have liked to, especially since it was such a big part of my youth.

Welcome to Steemit again! :)
