The usual. Rey is FOREVER RUINED if she's Luke Skywalker's daughter! Cause, you know, being related to a MAN is SOOOOO BAD don'tcha know?

Which is HILARIOUS since, you know, the WHOLE MOVIE was spelling that out like crazy.

That and Daisy did an interview during Celebration where she was comparing the speculation to Mark's experience after Empire came out and the denial from the fandom then to now (people didn't want to believe that Vader was Luke's dad). That and she said that the first movie answered that question well, she thought.

Also, Mark's FACE the entire interview was hilarious and painful because, he was feeling like crap, but also just STARING at her like "wtf, daisy, stfu!"

Where are you even coming from with the "they hate it because being related to a man is so bad!" stuff? I imagine that most people who don't want Rey to be Luke's daughter feel that way just because they want a protagonist who isn't a Skywalker.

Then they watching the wrong movie.

If I wanted a movie where the protagonist isn't a Corleone, I wouldn't watch the godfather...

True! I'm just pointing out that their actual justifications seem, for the most part, to be totally different from the frankly bizarre "being related to a man is bad!" strawman. It may be a misplaced desire to not want Rey Skywalker, but at least I can understand where they're coming from. I don't even understand what the person I was replying to was trying to insinuate.

Fair point.

I'd guess they may be conflating the small few radical feminists who have undoubtedly joined the fandom since Rey - Small but fucking vocal - with the larger numbers of new fans who just don't like the Skywalker story.

I think I'm broadly on you side, but I can't say I don't see where the confusion comes from.
