Well I've seen a lot of fandom discussions that were not framed as being about general "awareness". Finn vs Kylo discourse (whoever you ship them with this seems to be the crux of it..? I'm guessing, it's not my fandom.) is definitely about liking the "wrong" characters for the "wrong reasons". And that can look messy and stupid, from both sides.

But in the end I'd rather messy and stupid than passively sidelining the black character because everyone finds it easier than confronting what we bring in from society. Like you say we're not immune.

I understand why people prefer fandom to be their non-political space, but on the other hand it's not like people don't learn and grow here. OP talking as if it's all about getting people to ship the right penises is just obnoxious.

I thought the whole Kylo thing was more because people would rather ship two white space nazis than a black guy and a Latino guy (I think?) and less about Kylo actually being involved in a different ship in the traditional sense. The only actual ship wank I've seen on Kylo's end involves him and Rey knocking boots and possibly(?) being siblings?

I do agree it can look messy and stupid on both sides. I've seen some really hamfisted activism regarding this issue, so I do get it.

But I guess ultimately like you said, I'd rather it be messy and stupid than just sweeping it under the rug and pretending that issues and trends don't hold true in fandom and they're pretty unarguably connected to the larger trends of racism in our society.

Cousins. Not siblings. Daisy debunked the Rey Solo thing forever ago.

Still incest though. Ew.

Yeah the main thing that turns me off from the whole Reylo ship is that as things stand in canon, we don't know for sure whether they're related (be it siblings or cousins) or not? So until that gets official canon word of god on whether it is incest or not, I'm not interested in that ship. I'll stick to Finn/Rey and Finn/Poe.

Reason I say cousins very confidently is because Daisy had a recent interview during Star Wars Celebration. She had said that it was pretty obvious as to her parent(s) was by the end of TFA and then she goes on to compare the fan reaction and speculation to what Mark went through in the 80s after Empire came out. Back then, despite the fact that Vader SAID he was Luke's dad, you had people calling bullshit and not believing that. She was likening that to now.

AND you have the same reaction, now, that we had during the Prequels. People DID NOT believe that Padme was gonna be the mother to Luke and Leia....despite being the only major non-force sensitive female in the Pre-Trilogy.
