Adam Driver (Getty Images) Twitter is a truly strange place. We all know this and every time we start to forget, k-pop stans find a way to remind us. Late on April 20, the hashtag #adamdriverisoverparty started trending on Twitter and it appeared that 'Star Wars' star Adam Driver had become the latest victim of the cancel culture.

Adam Driver fans jumped to the actor’s defence Monday after #AdamDriverIsOverParty began trending on Twitter.
The social media users who started the trend clearly didn’t have all their facts straight, and fans were very quick to point that out.
People shared comments from an interview Driver did with The New Yorker last year, in which he spoke about joining the Marines after 9/11 because he wanted to fight against the terrorists who attacked his country.
Despite some calling him “Islamophobic,” the majority were quick to share his actual comments.
“It wasn’t against Muslims,” Driver said. “It was: We were attacked. I want to fight for my country against whoever that is.”

One fan told haters to go watch Driver’s movie “The Report”, which saw him expose the CIA’s use of torture following 9/11.
Adam Driver made a movie exposing the use of torture of the CIA following 9/11. Go watch that instead of bitching on twitter because you're bored #AdamDriverIsOverParty#ThankyouAdamDriverpic.twitter.com/FiGAYX5was

calling adam driver islamophobic for joining the military to fight terrorism says much more about you than him. good work jumping to conclusions in the name of 'political correctness' that literally only perpetuate the stereotype you complain about#AdamDriverIsOverParty

*logs on*
*sees #AdamDriverIsOverParty is trending because he joined the military nearly 20 years ago and believed he was fighting terrorism and idiots reached into the sun to extrapolate that he actually hates brown people and that's the real reason*
