Amazing video produced by Jessie Gender along with a group of creators whom many of them are from the ** LGBTIAQ+ community** .

I knew from my anthropology class many years ago that George Lucas borrowed concept from the The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

What I did not know is that the author, Joseph Campbell is:

  1. A misogynist
  2. An antisemite
  3. Didn’t research properly

This explains why the hero must be a (white) men.

Carl Jung’s theory about collective unconsciousness and archetypes are also outdated and discarded by psychology.

The archetypes reduce women to “mother”, “Goddess”. etc. but never the hero.

Also, since Jung’s theory categories people neatly into archetypes, those who does not fit social norm (LGBTQIA+ people) were never represented.

When the creation is based on such shaky foundations, no wonder the Star Wars fandom turns out to be racist and misogynist.

Btw, do you know who else’s book borrows heavily from Jung? Jordan Peterson.

    Situations like this are why I disabled youtube suggestions. I only see suggestions if I want them.
