Part 2/6:
In response to The Acolyte's cancellation, some segments of the fanbase launched aggressive efforts aimed at prominent content creators. Notably, individuals like Jeremy from Geeks and Gamers and Gary from Nerdrotic became targets of organized "deplatforming" campaigns. These efforts sought to have YouTube remove or restrict their channels and videos, presumably due to their criticism of Disney's handling of Star Wars properties and related decisions.
The campaigns appeared to be part of a broader push to silence dissenting voices within the fandom community, casting the controversy into the realm of free speech and platform bias. However, these efforts faced pushback from the platforms themselves.
