yeah, I'm gonna be honest, I love finn('s potential) and I have never wanted to interact with his fandom. not because they don't have a perspective I understand, but because there's simply nowhere productive they can go with it.

you know what immediately after tfa i was a huge finn fan and as a black fan i wanted everything good for him, however the insane vitriol for those that were fans of other characters completely turned me off from his fandom. like is it not possible to like multiple characters at once? i actually had my own race questioned by "finn only" fans for daring to like kylo. it got so bad so quickly that by the time tlj was released i was out.

I have fun reading the poly AUs. There is a really fun fic where it's Ben/Rey/Finn/Rose as roommates and they all have massive sexual tension and actual sex. Lotta sex positivity and everyone loves each other.

I only read and post anon though, because...yeah, there's a lot baggage and I don't know if I'm capable of all the unpacking.

Yeah, my experience with that part of the fandom was that they were so desperate to shit on other ships that it eventually put off people who wanted to create for the pairing. This was 2016-17, though, so maybe they're all chill now. (Then again...it's Star Wars, so probably not.)

The problem with Finn is due to the TLJ. It effectively split him and Rose, the ethnic duo, off to have a pointless sidequest that not only didn't integrate them into the rest of the story and cast, but actively excluded them from it because everyone else got to settle into a new dynamic. TRoS, while it didn't handle Rose terribly well (mainly due to that sidequesting and lack of integration, with no role in the ongoing story), did try to draw him back into it. It just had a lot to do what with fixing the mess TLJ made and bridging from TFA in a way that made sense with one of the biggest characters now dead. TRoS did Finn a lot better than TLJ ever did, and TFA did him very well in character terms.

Yeah, splitting up the mains in the second act only works if there is some plot-related point to it all. Frankly, you could cut TLJ from the trilogy entirely and barely notice for how much anything that happened actually mattered. None of the heroes were done any favors there.

I love my idea of who Finn *could* have been, but was never intended to be.

I have ZERO intention to interact with the fans or fandom.
