Itchy Bacca at Disney Star Wars Is Dumb documented a number of tweets regarding Ireland’s issues with white people. What’s interesting about Ireland’s tweets is that she doesn’t take issue with Roderick, but instead targets all white men for one person’s actions.Īnd this isn’t an isolated incident for Ireland. He concluded the lengthy post with an apology, “I apologize to my partners, my friends, and to all the people affected by my words for the hurt I caused.” Roderick later added, “I was ignorant, insensitive to the message that my ‘pedant dad’ comedic persona was indistinguishable from how abusive dads act, talk and think.” He added, “I framed the story with me as the asshole dad because that’s my comedic persona and my fans and friends know it’s ‘a bit’.” Her mother was in the room with us all day and alternately laughing at us and telling us to be quiet while she worked on her laptop. I didn’t share how much laughing we were doing, how we had a bowl of pistachios between us all day as we worked on the problem, or that we’d both had a full breakfast together a few hours before. Roderick would eventually issue an apology and deactivate his Twitter account stating, “My story about my daughter and the can of beans was poorly told.

Ireland’s tweets are in reference to a number of tweets from podcast host John Roderick, where he detailed that he challenged his nine-year-old daughter to open a can of beans with a can opener. In a follow-up she added, “Imagine writing a twenty tweet thread about outsmarting your nine year old what a waste of perfectly good carbon.” On January 3rd, Ireland took to Twitter where she wrote, “I guess mediocre white men are still going to be On Here bragging about their mediocrity as though it’s a hilarious anecdote instead of pure assholery so thanks for establishing that baseline early, 2021.” She will also be penning the Young Adult novel Out of the Shadows that will also follow Vernestra Rwoh, the Padawan Reath Silas, and Avon Starros.

Not only will she be writing A Test of Courage, but Star Wars and Lucasfilm also recently announced that Ireland will be writing “Starlight Stories” that will appear in the Star Wars Insider magazine. Ireland had previously been announced as the author of the Star Wars: The High Republic novel A Test of Courage that will follow the adventures of the Mary Sue character Vernestra Rwoh.
