every act of ‘violence’ that Finn commits is in self-defence. he is never the aggressor. Finn never shoots first, Finn is defined by the moment he chose not to be someone else’s blaster or cannon fodder. 

i thought this was about finn wolfhard and i was so confused

thank you for informing me, with this unnecessary addition that derailed my post about a Black character breaking the mold of hyper masculine behavior, that this has now reached the it/stranger things blogs. I hope you can tell that that ‘thank you’ is completely and utterly sardonic.

@reddietrashmouth​ the person you reblogged this from tagged it as star wars and finn…. how were you confused?

Why hello wilfully ignorant fandom microaggression erasing Black characters on their own posts!

Doing so in a military organization will result in official reprimand, though. Or worse.

Going against those with power is always dangerous.  It is, however, often the right thing to do. Even when the consequences aren’t exactly as expected, what Ahsoka says here still applies. 100%.

What if Finn had the same “hope” Poe is expected to have in Holdo in Phasma and the First Order? As established in Phasma, many of the First Order stormtroopers have the same hope that the Order’s rule will bring peace and justice to the galaxy. It’s a dangerous double standard, to ask stormtroopers to question their leaders and do what feels right and then turn right around and expect rebels to blindly obey even when they think their leaders are immoral and possibly treacherous.

Like you can place Finn and Kylo Ren side-by-side and show them both the exact same tableau and they will each get something completely different out of it

For god’s sake, this happened in canon

Kylo and Finn were BOTH ON JAKKU at the EXACT SAME TIME and were looking in the EXACT SAME DIRECTION

Kylo Ren saw a destroyed village burning to the ground and didn’t think anything of it

Finn saw a destroyed village burning to the ground and saw it as abject, like actually fundamentally Wrong, like Offensive To All Senses, even more than being simply cruel and evil (bc remember, he has no reason to believe that this is anything other than normal; expected even)

Like Finn has been conditioned for this, spent his whole life being trained for it, never considering that it was wrong, and it still looked wrong: wrong to the touch, wrong to the eye, wrong in concept and thought and feeling

It was wrong enough to make him flee

Like even beyond the common Nature vs Nurture questions, Finn 100% embodies the concept of justice and goodness sprouting from places where it had no right to live (and conversely, Kylo embodies the concept of having all the required ingredients for greatness [growing up in peacetime, having heroes for relatives, increased access to ideas etc] , and ends up bad anyway)

Finn is the perfect foil for KR and their dynamic yields more than any other, is what I’m saying
