I'd agree with you, except that far too many people interpret ANY level of criticism as hate. This isn't just true for Star Wars, it's fandom in general. You can say, "Taylor Swift's music isn't really my thing" and someone will pop out of nowhere ranting about Swift's "haters" and how awful they are.

Personally, I enjoyed The Last Jedi a lot. But I don't think it's without its flaws, and it's annoying that fandom can't have a calm, civil discussion about it without one side bringing out the misogynistic ranting and the other side refusing to acknowledge that anyone might have a non-misogynistic reason for not loving the film.

Sure, but one of those sides is a direct reaction to the other starting it. If there WERE more civil discussion, people like OP would be less wary about discussing the film with other fans.

1) Yes, I'm aware that one is a reaction to the other. Nothing I said suggests otherwise.

2) Just because it's a direct reaction doesn't mean it's the ONLY possible reaction, nor does it justify treating legitimate criticism as if it's misogynistic ranting. People don't HAVE to overreact.

It's natural to be suspicious of people being misogynistic when it happens constantly

(Anonymous) 2018-12-03 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
You're only saying that because you're being a misogynist.




Wait, did that not make sense? It's because there's a difference between being wary of people's motives when you actually have something to base your suspicions upon, and seeing the misogynist boogeyman around every corner. When someone has reasoned supports for why they didn't love TLJ, then no, it's not "natural" to assume that they are motivated solely by sexism. It's paranoid.

I agree! I'm talking about situations where you don't have the "reasoned supports for why they didn't love TLJ" piece of the puzzle.
