This exactly! This whole post! There are tons of Earth terms alongside the tons of unique Star Wars stuff, and people who haven't been able to absorb the huge amounts of lore from decades of disparate sources shouldn't be... dogpiled on like this. They shouldn't even have to sustain one rude comment or snotty holier-than-thou correction.
Ugh. I love the prompts and fills in this kinkmeme, but this sense of entitlement people have is bizarre. Fic is written for free, people, out of love!
Plus, just to add an extra layer of irony to this whole mess, I looked at that wiki link from somewhere upthread (and some of its subpages), and not only am I seeing blatant Earth terms like churro, crab, lobster, wheat, and cabbage, I happened across this:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Potato
Lmao. Did... did no one who's been crying foul over the potatoes even bother to look on the wiki?
(Also this, which almost makes this whole fiasco worth it XD: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Tater )
