Sign The Save The Acolyte Petition - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
It's crazy that The Acolyte’s cancellation has sparked important conversations about toxic fandoms and bigotry, and how these issues affect so many shows and films. It shows what many of us have known for a long time—diverse projects often get unfairly punished by studios for upsetting certain YouTubers and racist and misogynistic groups online.
Instead of supporting these fresh and bold stories, studios would rather cave to backlash, leaving unique projects like The Acolyte behind. It highlights the real challenges diverse creators and stories face, and how the industry often fails to stand by them.
Back in the day, shows were given the chance to find their audience with another season, unlike how things are handled in today’s streaming world. I always point to Rings of Power as the perfect example of how not caving to bigots will benefit you. If you stand by the project and its creators, negative backlash won’t hurt the success of the series—it can thrive if the studio just believes in it. And it actually helps listening to the people who support the projects instead of the haters
My favorite dark couple 😍
Omg someone finally said it 👏🏾👏🏾
Wow this is amazing shout-out to the artist 😍👏🏾
(Not my art. If anyone knows the artist, please tell me so that I may credit them properly) I keep finding beautiful pieces of Acolyte fan art and it makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy because once more, something Star Wars has come along to inspire a community of fans to create things for other fans to enjoy. But I’m also sad because the show was cancelled and now that same community is left with all this inspiration and creativity and passion that, thanks to the cancellation, feels quashed. It’s not like a fandom whose show came to a narrative end and then therefore, went quietly into that good night. Rather, with a cancellation, especially with one so abrupt and unceremonious as the Acolyte’s was, the fandom is condemned to die a slow death.
Omg yes put that in the universe 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Almost there let's keep going 😀
Truer words were never spoken. I feel these words describe the very circumstances of The Acolyte being canceled. It’s about stories and who is allowed to tell them.
Absolutely stunning 😍
I wish you all a good night.
