Painfully Accurate Tumblr Posts About Star Wars Fans - Neatorama

Star Trek fans are typically calm, collected and logical, like a Vulcan vacationing on Delta Vega, while Star Wars fans are far more fiery and passionate, like a Wookiee after their last bowl of Wasaka-berry pudding was stolen by an Ewok.

And ever since Episode VIII: The Last Jedi came out the fans have either been cheering or jeering about the latest installment and going off as the force of fandom within them rises once again.

So if you see a Star Wars fan walking around with a lightsaber you'd better steer clear until this whole Star Wars hysteria blows over...oh wait, that Han Solo prequel is coming out in May...

A large cohort of fanboys have a problem with Star Wars because they expect every movie to be as magical as they were when they first watched them -when they were 6, 8, 10 years old. Kids aren't movie critics, they just enjoy a movie. Then these fans grew up to watch movies more critically, as all adults do, and can't recognize that no Star Wars movie can be as perfect as when seen through a child's eyes. It's a fantasy. And they've got an idea in their heads of "the way things should be" although they expect someone else to read their minds and write and produce those stories exactly that way. No story progression will ever live up to their expectations. Every time I read fan rants, I'm sooo glad I was an adult in 1977, so I can just enjoy all the Star Wars movies for what they are.

That said, I love a good Star Wars joke, and these are funny, especially the one about the older lady (mainly because I relate). I can't share the funniest ones I know, because they contain spoilers.

If it's such an advantage, why don't you see able-bodied athletes cutting off their legs (other than the fact that they wouldn't be able to compete due to these stupid rules)? Steroids may give an advantage. But having no legs? I kind of doubt it.

I think Mr. Gailey is right. The other athletes just don't want to be beaten by someone who's less than "perfect".

Think of it as Steve Austin running 80mph against a regular person.

How is this fair if the appendages below Oscars knee will never get "tired" and rarely fatigue or break especially in the time period of one race? I have the utmost respect for what he is trying to accomplish but isn't the Olympics about (for lack of a better term) human performance?

I for one agree with the IAAFs decision on this. The guy TRULY has a serious advantage over others with his artificial legs.

I applaud him for trying, and it sucks that he's a double amputee ... but you've got to keep the Olys pure.

his stride is too far, it's inhuman (5m?). he wouldnt have that without the attachments so it would be unfair in normal olympics

If you're in the paralympics, you shouldn't be allowed in the olympics. one or the other.

It seems like everyone has good points. Oscar does indeed have something the runners do not have, but at the same the other runners also have legs which he does not. So we then have to look to oscar's legs vs normal runner's leg. I'd say in that comparison Oscar would win hands down, it seems the best solution would be to give Oscar artificial legs that are comparable to human legs, which don't seem to exist.

It would seem having a handicap is handicapping afterall... go figure.

Why would he even want to compete when he knows it unbalances the playing field? Seems a bit selfish.

the simple fact is that he has a mechanical device that, as LS said, never fatigues or strains to the point of damage (under normal conditions anyway). this has nothing to do with 'imperfection' and everything to do with unfair advantage.

I think that the issue is not about the able bodies esteem but the fact that the olymics is for the able bodied, paralympics is for the physically disabled and special Olympics is for the intellectually disabled. If someone was fully Able bodied and wanted to do the Paralympics it would be out of the question. Look what happened to spain and a few other countries when they faked intellectual disorders. The INAS-FID is still on probation. The Oscar is an amazing runner and I really do not see why the paralympics is not enough for him. What people should be fighting for is more media coverage of the Paralympics because i love watching quad rugby and those events. I tried to find it on television a few years ago and could not. Maybe more Plublicity would help make the paralympics more popular and more of a common occurance.

Let him compete with non-mechanical feet! Otherwise don't let any of the other runners use shoes! That is one sure way of winning! Eliminate the competition.

Unless all the runners are going to run barefoot and naked anything can be considered an unfair advantage.
