“They’ve got to stop doing this thing where they don’t say anything when people are getting fucking dog-piled on the internet with racism and bullshit,” Tuner-Smith said of Disney’s lack of response to “The Acolyte” toxicity. “It’s just not fair to not say anything. It’s really unfair.”
“It would just be nice if the people that have all the money were showing their support and putting their feet down,” she added. “Say this is unacceptable: ‘You’re not a fan if you do this.’ Make a really big statement and just see if any money leaves. I bet you it won’t, because people of color, and especially Black people, make up a very large percentage of buying power. They might find that it’s actually more lucrative for them, but everyone’s using ‘woke’ like it’s a dirty word.”

I get money is money, but if I was an actor, I would stay the fuck away from anything Star Wars related. It’s just not worth it.
She’s absolutely right and I’m glad she said it. It’s incredibly stupid that they stay quiet. There was an article a while back about how studios give actors training or manage social media for them to mitigate the impact of online behaviour. But they need to take a stand.
