Saw some tweets making fun of people for being mad at there being wheels in NuStar Wars.
So I started looking for tweets of people being mad at there being wheels in NuStar Wars.

All I found was more of the former, none of the latter.
It's not fair, why do I have to put in effort. I want to have fun too.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
A bunch of nerds can rationalize lightsabers and like a billion other things but there's just no conceivable way there'd be treads in the future.

The treads make the thing go faster than just hovering at the expense of maneuverability.

I can't think of a single instance in Star Wars where a vehicle used treads to crawl through the sand.

I was talking to a huge Star War nerd and I told him my favorite of the bunch was Rogue One and he acted like I punched him in the face.

it's not like one of the only two characters to appear in every star wars movie to date rolls around on wheels or anything

or that the first movie explicitly depicted a vehicle with tank treads being used in the desert

or that we've actually seen far more ground vehicles that either walk or roll than hover, the only exceptions being a couple of scout vehicles and sports cars

none of that happened

The only thing stupider than wheels in Star Wars would be slow-moving four-legged vehicles that can be easily tripped with a metal cable.

Sad but it's also probably another grift. Like for $50/mo you get access to a pic of side boob with no nipple and a mediocre pencil drawing of herself, and that's it. No more updates ever.

I kid you not. An animal psychiatrist told my mom this and explained that confusion in gender roles was the reason our male cat kept attacker our female dog. The cat was confused because the cat was supposed to be the girl.

In her notes she drew a cat in a little ballerina skirt.

I read that first post, which was at the end of a page, and thought "haha you're doing a thing, no one is mad at Star Wars for having wheels" and then, well

these days I think of Star Wars like the Mario series. The characters we're seeing are themselves actors in the star wars universe, and off screen they're hanging out and playing tennis and driving go-karts and having parties on giant city-block-sized board games n poo poo

God the prequels had wheels all over the damned place! There's vehicles that are two giant wheels and one that's one giant wheel and lots of personnel carrier things with lots of wheels! George Lucas loving loves wheels!

Reminded how despite the fact I'm a huge nerd, I have almost nothing in common with most nerds apparently. Can't talk about any common interests because female protagonists aren't a trigger for me.

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe the awful ones are just loud like chuds.

yeah it's the second one- my irl friend circle is very dork-heavy but also p much gender-balanced and politically ranges from lib to socialist. They're also like 35-50 years old so idk if that's part of it, but I also noticed a pretty wide spread of types of people when I worked at a Comic Book/board game/magic the gathering store. The teens in particular were more socially conscious than I remember when I was a young nerd, though there was one boy who would wait until his peers were gone and try to talk to us olds about 'the good ol days', lol
