I can only speak for myself, but for me, Kylo just rings a little too true. His embitterment, the way his alienation becomes anger and a political bent towards conservatism and/or anarchy and fascism, the way he exhaults and idolizes emotional hardness and the cruel and agressive use of power. It all just feels quite real. I've met a lot of guys who thought - and to some extent acted - like that. And there's certainly no shortage of political figures who think and act like that.

Yes, you could argue that every villain is a reflection of reality to some extent. But Kylo just feels unusually realistic in how he represents a certain type of attitude/behavior/mindset we're dealing with right now in both "big P" and "small p" politics.

That's why I can't bring myself to ship it, even though, yes, that fight scene was hot af. And that's why I don't sympathize with Kylo, even though he does embody certain "little boy lost" traits I'm often drawn to.
