It's because Kylo was white and Finn was black

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
This.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
This absolutely. And look at the shit John Boyega got about expressing his disappointment in the series.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean for making sexist jokes and having his fans harass the people who were upset?

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
john boyega makes one very tame sex-joke and he's a sexist monster to all women everywhere. adam driver talks about how he enlisted in the army to specifically kill people in iraq and he's a precious smol bean who needs to be protected.

never change fandom.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
And then Boyega created a video targeting the people who were offended, causing his fans to harass them off social media.

And where did Adam say he wanted to kill Iraqis?

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean a joke video about the people who harassed him first?

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The tweets he used were hardly harassment, especially the one he used in the thumbnail

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Da

Not gonna argue your main point because you're right about John Boyega but the quote by Driver about why he joined the military has been grossly misquoted. He never said he joined to kill people in Iraq or anywhere else, his exact quote is “It wasn’t against Muslims. It was: We were attacked. I want to fight for my country against whoever that is.” This quote is from an interview with the New Yorker Magazine here:

Yeah, and then all the butthurt Reylos tried to destroy his career because they care more about their stupid fucking fictional ship that 1. Never actually happened, and 2. Even Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver dint have positive things to say about? And all the racist bullshit Reylos diarrhea-ed at John Boyega over A FUCKING SHIP???? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT, YOU HYPOCRITE?????

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You seem upset.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Just tired of black people getting shit on.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, fair, very fair. But imo you're tilting at windmills with this one.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-27 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, what? No, we're not trying to destroy his career lmao.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-27 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I agree that John did that and it was bad, but ayrt is talking about his GQ interview that came out a couple weeks ago.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It really wasn't. Enemies-to-lovers was always bound to be way more popular than acquaintances-to-lovers.

I ship nothing for this franchise, for the record.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
The backlash against Reylo was because people weren’t shipping Rey with the black character

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
AYRT - Eh. I think there was a lot of reasons for the backlash against Reylo. From some corners it was sexism. From other corners it was feminist antis thinking that shipping Reylo was sending a horrible message to young girls and hurting feminism. From still other corners it was Rey/Finn shippers mad their ship wasn't popular, using social justice as a club. And from yet another corner it was actual SJWs mad at people for not shipping Rey with the black character.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-26 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
NAYRT: And there are those of us who think that the combination of Beauty and the Beast and Manic Pixie Dream Jedi behind Reylo didn't make narrative sense for the Ben and Rey we were shown.

Ideal ending: Rey becomes a Jedi Master, Kylo starts a 12-step program for recovering fascists, on opposite ends of the galaxy.

(Anonymous) 2020-09-27 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, but anon and I weren't talking about people who didn't like Reylo. We were talking about the backlash--something a lot more vitriolic and hostile than "I don't like this; it doesn't work for me."

didn't make narrative sense for the Ben and Rey we were shown.

I agree with this, for the record. Kylo Ren's character as it's established in TFA makes him extremely ill-suited to the kind of bad-boy-turned-good storyline the next two movies adopt, IMO.

In TLJ he's this conflicted, confused, embittered bad boy teetering on the edge of all-out villainy. Which feels very disjointed from TFA, where he orders a village full of women and children to be murdered just because he can.

And fucking MURDERS HAN SOLO. Fuck Kylo Ren. They can redeem him all they want, I am never getting over that.

Re: SA

(Anonymous) 2020-09-27 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even like Han (don't hate him, but he's not my fave) and I agree because I'm so sick of Kylo stans acting like Han was abusive to bb Kylo which makes the murder totally justified, you guys!

At the very worst, Han was a deadbeat, and I never figured out from the films whether the Han/Leia split came before or after their son went full school shooter and murdered his fellow students, which might just possibly put some strain on a relationship, you know?

He murdered his dad to prove he was enough of a conscienceless monster to join the evil league of evil, not because Han hurt his feefees.
