The Left has now resorted to blaming the negative backlash against “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” on Russian trolls — the new boogeyman for every SJW vehicle the public rejects.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a new academic paper by researcher Morten Bay is attempting to gaslight Disney’s angered fanbase by suggesting there was no angered fanbase at all. The paper, titled “Weaponizing The Haters: The Last Jedi and the strategic politicization of pop culture through social media manipulation,” claims to have found “evidence of deliberate, organized political influence measures disguised as fan arguments” which were all a part of some master scheme to sow political discord in favor of the alt-right.
