"It begs the question: do these geek communities just read into their source material selectively, finding the politics they can agree with and use, or are geek pop culture media as a whole particularly suitable to be made into memes, because of their politics?"

Well in the case of that essay, looks like both; reddit sub drama is "particularly suitable" as a subject for the essay because it must be all the writer knows about, and the writer has read whatever the fuck they wanted into it. Maybe it's a parody piece with a lampshade ending; if so, points for subtlety.

(I assume they're mad because they like the newer films, that sub doesn't, and so they are resorting to leaning on the presumed views of the fictional obi wan kenobi to defend their stance? Classic symptoms of Too Much Internet.)
