So I got a little complainy yesterday about D23 and now I am posting someone from it again, so if I have some issue with it apparently I am part of the problem. I mean, yeah, I am the part of a lot of problems.  I was thinking about it more though and I realized why some of this stuff makes my skin crawl and others don’t.  Regular atendees of Comic Con, and you know, people who claim they have been going for 20 years, often complain about movie studios taking over the event.  When this started depends on which of my friends I ask and how much they hate twilight but it was either the early 2000’s or the late 2000’s.  But my point is, it’s a fan convention originally set up by fans and still, in theory sorta run by fans or fan interests at least.  So if there is a Star Wars panel it is, in theory cause people care about Star Wars.  But let’s be honest, that panel exists to advertise a movie in the best way to advertise anything, make people feel invested and excited and like they aren’t being advertised to.  I guess to me the difference is with D23 or something, it’s a company throwing a party for themselves and advertising to fans and making those fans pay for a ticket for the privileged.  It’s a different dynamic.  At best it’s like that one obnoxious friend in your 20’s who reminded everyone it was her birthday coming up for a month, bullied one of her friends into throwing a surprised party, and then had the gall to act surprised at the surprise party and shed a tear that she was so touched she was so important to everyone that they did this.  It just feels a little creepy and is a red flag that this maybe isn’t a person you want in your life.  So you know, that is probably my issue and now I have written a bunch more words complaining instead of about Daisy Ridley.  Daisy Ridley I find to be a charming delight and I would love to make a joke that she should get away from Disney before Disney reveals itself to be a horrible drama queen and sleeps with Daisy’s boyfriend because Disney can’t feel love so just goes fro attention but… well, I am pretty sure being aligned with Disney is very lucrative for her.  It would be terrible career advice.  And i don’t think an entire company would sleep with her boyfriend.  I just… I mean sex seems like it would stop being fun at some point and probably a lot sooner than any of us want to admit in our fantasies.  Anyway, she is great and I am always glad to see her show up, so maybe D23 has some benefits.  December can’t get here fast enough.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.
