The discourse extends beyond Star Wars, touching on wider societal debates. For example, the resurfacing of an old Daily Show clip featuring Amanda Stenberg discussing the "gayest" aspects of Star Wars and Hollywood's obsession with diversity exemplifies how media and entertainment have become battlegrounds for cultural identity and political expression.
Similarly, references to historical sites like Hadrian’s Wall being labeled a "gay monument" reflect a trend where historical and cultural narratives are reinterpreted through modern identity politics. Critics argue this is an example of misapplying contemporary social frameworks onto contexts where they may not fit, ultimately watering down the richness of history and storytelling.
