OP

My corner revolved mostly around 'Rogue One,' and overlapped with the part of fandom that agreed with the essay, "Why The Last Jedi isn't Just Bad: It's Toxic" (if you never came across it, here's an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20230328051027/http://scavengersholocron.com:80/category/home/why-the-last-jedi-isnt-just-bad-its-toxic/). The thesis of the essay is stated as follows:

The problem is that while The Last Jedi is being branded as the most feminist Star Wars film to date, its “feminism” seems like a cheap marketing ploy to appeal to a wiser audience and downplays some of the key problems within the film itself: it’s built on a foundation of sexism, misogyny, and racism. In other words, if you’re anything other than a white male, this film isn’t made for you.

I share this quote largely to give you an idea of how different the perspective in this part of fandom is from the slice that you've seen. I've seen what you mention, as well, but those are spaces that I left almost immediately.

Wow. I have personally not seen that. But honestly I avoid the Star Wars fandom these days. It is just so toxic, and I don't want to lose my love. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

Tip of an iceberg, that.
