I like that she’s an ambitious villain, and I think it would have worked with better foreshadowing because a lot of the reviewers thought her decision at the end didn’t make sense. Maybe that’s their own sexism speaking, idk, but if she had been written more coherently I get the sense fewer people would have been confused.
The only part of this movie that interests me is Enfys. She sounds awesome and I hope we’ll see more of her!
HAS to ship it, just that saying that there is no difference
between it and Reylo is stupid. There’s a huge difference. I understand
people being mad about it happening. I feel a little weird that they
built up this camraderie between Finn and Rey only to discard it for
other characters. That’s not our fault though. We’re not the ones
“forgetting” or marginalizing Finn. Lucas film is. I don’t know why it’s
bad to say “Hey this probably isn’t going to happen so support this
other thing” (2)
When you think about it, Damerey is a nice neutral ship. It is
interracial, they are both good guys, and it can still be LGBT because I
personally don’t think Rey or Poe are straight. Damerey happening in
canon doesn’t mean people can’t or won’t ship Finnrey or Finnpoe. It
just means that will be what the canon is, like Hanleia and Anidala.
People still ship Hanluke and Obidala. I guess I just wish we who hate
Reylo could join together without all this backbiting and fighting (end)
You have a right to your canon predictions, obviously. If you read my ask you’ll see that my issue is with the people saying you HAVE to support canon Damerey or you’re racist, that it’s the only way to stop Reylo etc. (Like any amount of fan shipping will decide what becomes canon lmao) If that’s not you then it’s not you.
Nobody said Damerey is like Reylo, I’m saying a lot of the shippers reach as hard as Reylos do. And those who support canon Damerey are as fond of disregarding and denigrating Finn and Rey’s connection as Reylos are.
“Neutral?” I think the word you’re looking for is “boring.” I mean who knows, it could be canon because LF doesn’t know what the hell it’s doing, That doesn’t mean a ship based on literally saying “hi” makes for a better story than what Finn and Rey have. Call me when Rey cries on Poe’s chest like her heart is breaking in two.
Have fun with your ship, just stop this weird psy-op trying to convince Finnrey shippers Damerey is the better ship and will be canon, or that Damerey is the only thing standing against Reylo.
I guess Finn just doesn’t exist to these people, huh? This has been my beef with shippers since TFA, that they think a ship based on 10 seconds of conversation in the novelization and now on screen is likelier to happen than a romance between two people who spent two movies risking all for each other and constantly thinking of each other. Much like reyllos, damerys would long have already declared their ship canon if it had had a TENTH of the history Finn and Rey had. I’d like to say I’m surprised that they’re flinging accusations of racism while totally ignoring Finn, but I’m not.
If you think that phrase is about actual sex then I am seriously concerned about what you consider sexual. Do you also refer to the movie about Watergate as D__p Th___t (1972)?
I keep my age in my header precisely so that minors can know to stay
away if they are not comfortable with interacting with adults or with swearing and sexual content. You really shouldn’t be following me if you’re uncomfortable with swear words and the occasional erotica in relation to Star Wars.
I have never said and disagree that swear words and adult content are necessarily out of line for franchises that have child as well as adult fan bases. Adults can have their fun as well as kids. Everything should, however, be properly tagged so that children would not be exposed to adult content, so people can stay away from content they are uncomfortable with, and so tags are not cluttered up with irrelevant content.
The entire thread on my end is
tagged with #rape mention so that minors and those who are triggered by references to rape can filter it. I will also add a #nsfw tag to my additions just in case. But like I said, my blog probably isn’t for you in the first place.
I mean, who needs to make actual fun films that engage the audience when you can act like you’re entitled to nonstop hits with every shit you take? When even Mark Hamill is warning about oversaturation and dilution, and when you’re flooding a limited market with mediocre as fuck offerings, of course this is the result.
(cont) but anyway, like i said i grew out of it and i think what
triggered it was also in part to looking at it like “what business does
a man 10+ years my senior have with a teen, presuming it would be
reciprocated?” it just weirded me out, yet here are the r3ylos literally
going “the age difference between rey and “ben” is a huge kink for me”
“it brings back memories” while being in their 40s… i will never
understand it
Yeah, it’s fucked up to expect someone who is barely an adult herself to “save” a much-older partner with the power of her love. The age gap matters less the older the people involved get, but combined with Rey’s young age and how violent and troubled Kylo is, it gets seriously creepy.
It’s a very normal part of teenage development to crush on and fantasize about older people. What’s not healthy is to enter an intimate romantic/sexual relationship with a much older partner, with whom there is an inherent power difference. There are some grim statistics about teenage girls in particular with older male partners.
And if a grownup has a pattern of actively seeking out much younger, in particular adolescent partners, that reeks of shit right there because what they want is the power of having more experience and knowledge than their partner. I guess people can have all sorts of kinks, but it’s creepy as hell to get off on that kind of dynamic and there’s a reason I am wary of that section of the fandom in general.
Makes as much sense as anything lol. It’s preferable to erasing Finn of course, but it sucks that they’ve overtaken the p&p tag. 😦
What even brought this on asdgjfkl
Wait is it the 100 stories that shaped the world post, specifically my salty reblogged comnentary? I mean, was it ever a professional opinion that fictional stories with fantastical elements necessarily have nothing whatsoever to do with real life and cannot affect the real world? I thought that was just random internet commenters. If you want, please present me with professionals who hold this opinion so I can evaluate their credentials and reasoning.
SOLO SPOILER
Those who were in theaters say it’s clear she’s a Black woman with light skin and freckles.
I mean I don’t think either side is a coherent group other than sharing a taste (or distaste, in the case of antis). There are antis I can’t stand, antis I’ve called out, antis I’ve blocked, antis who hold fucking ridiculous opinions imo on other issues. I know the same is true of shippers, too. When I complain about ryeloafs I don’t mean the entire group of shippers is responsible, any more than I’d hold each individual man responsible for the actions of the worst of them. What I do mean is that these behaviors exist, these bad experiences with shippers are real, and that there are larger cultural reasons for these behaviors.
