Why was everyone so mean to C3PO?

They were rude to him, they ignored him, they threatened him, and basically just dismissed him.

Was it because he was a homosexual robot and very effeminate?

I don't think that the Star Wars writers realized it, but it reeked of homophobia.

Right?

He was always asking for a "hand solo" lubrication of his rusty parts.

He was an insufferable appliance who never shut the fuck up.

OP, being effeminate is not synonymous with being gay

OP it's because he was mean to the very sweet R2-D2

by Anonymousreply 10July 3, 2022 10:53 PM

Was R2D2 his boyfriend?

I'm assuming that R2 was the top, and C3PO was the bottom?

by Anonymousreply 11July 3, 2022 10:54 PM

R2D2 was a stout lesbian.

R2 was.the top, Threepio was the bottom. R2 would use that little gadget that he used to read computer databases in unspeakable ways like sticking it in Threepio's hungry hole.

C3PO needs some lessons from you mean queens.

He could have read Han Solo for FILTH!

R2D2’s high-powered vacuum feature makes him popular with the gaybots.

C-3PO was a gentleman among savages.

Some of us can relate.

He was a narcissistic, cowardly busybody who liked to lord it over his squat, dumpy little friend everyone else loved.

It’s not exactly one of life’s mysteries, OP.

Yet he had the knowledge that the were seeking all along.

C-3PO was Anderson Cooper and R2D2 Andy Cohen.

Exactly. I just thought he was British.

R24, that reminds me of the old admonishment about who runs Hollywood. You know:

ā€œIt’s not true that the Jews run Hollywood. GAY Jews run Hollywood.ā€

C3PO was BULLIED.

It's very triggering to watch him be bullied by others in the Star Wars films. It's very sad.

Even R2D2 could be a bleeping cunt to him.

by Anonymousreply 27July 4, 2022 5:31 AM

And in R2D2’s case ā€œbleepingā€ is not a euphemism.

R26, that comes from a Topps trading card that had to be recalled when they realized Threepio had a dick attached to him for a joke.

C3PO is basically the Dr Smith of Star Wars. Dr Smith was supposed to be a baddie in Lost in Space, of course, but he was so ineffectual it didn't matter.

Miss Threepio is a Kaween, and R2D2 is his closeted lover!!

The little cunt, I felt for him, poor cunt was sweating his bollocks off, all the way through filming, inside the sort-of tin-can we'd got him in. He turned up on the first day, we stuck him inside the thing--it was like a fucking dustbin we'd painted--and he was livid about it, to be fair. But I says to him, I said, "look mate, you know what you were getting into when you signed up for this job--if you didn't know about the robot costume, take it up with your fucking agent, as far as I'm concerned." Of course, this was before the Little People got all unionised properly, so there was not much he could do about it, so then he went.

Now one thing always bothered me, about that whole situation: we had this little geezer, in the tin-can, in forty-degree fucking heat. He didn't make the bleeping noises that the robot made, 'cuz we added them on after--y'know, sound effects in the edit. And he didn't have to move the thing about, 'cuz we had it on a set of wheels, and we were pulling it along by the old prop-men. So he didn't make the noises; he didn't move it; you didn't see him. So you've gotta ask yourself, haven't ya--why the fuck did we have anyone in there, at all?

So anyway, we finished the film, 'Space Film One'. It is what it is.
