Episode V: Luke Skywalker trains with Yoda. It’s a rough slog, and they disagree on a lot of things. Then Luke ends up facing his enemy, Darth Vader… who tells a terrible truth, and extends his hand to Luke, palm up, inviting his son to come with him.
Episode VIII: Rey finds Luke Skywalker and starts training with him. It’s a rough slog. Then she’s face to face with her enemy, Kylo Ren, who extends his hand to her, palm up, inviting her to come with him…
it’s easier and faster to create racist/sexist content than it is to deconstruct your own art. it’s easier and faster to ignore the words of sensitivity readers then it is to re-create. it’s easier, faster, lazier to say you love characters and create something without thinking about the biases you hold because of your socialization. it’s easier, faster, lazier and simpler to just create and not think about how you may be continuing a problem.
Tbh “Finn is the Luke Skywalker of the new trilogy” makes so much sense tbh because he’s the perfect candidate to be a Jedi. His experience in the First Order was one with few human connections, and H*x and Ph*sma did their damnedest to beat all of his emotions out of him. He’s seen Kylo Ren’s temper tantrums. And he came out of the fight against the First Order angry, physically scarred, scared shitless, and kind of lost. In the Resistance, he’s surrounded by people who adore him and can relate to the pain of loss and the horrors of war, but no one who could understand the depth of what he’d been through. I
t would be so easy for the Jedi to convince him that the only way to deal with all of this pain, anger and grief is to keep a lid on it, isolate himself, and avoid deep emotional bonds. “Passion, yet serenity” would sound so soothing to him, and the Jedi would greatly benefit from a Jedi Knight with his levels of compassion and caring for other people. But his strength lies in the love he gives out so brightly and passionately. I want to see Finn going to the Jedi seeking solace and realizing that his love and kindness are his strengths and comfort, not a tool to be used by which side of the Force he chooses. I want Finn to realize that he is a hero not because of any title he may have, but because the goodness in his heart perseveres even in the most hellish of situations.
Believe it or not it can happen. There was a guy in my neighborhood who used to creep on the little girls (5-11) when they played outside. Nobody did anything but I don’t think the adults really noticed him. He scared them so much they’d literally run to me when I was out because I was a “big kid” and I always played with them when my little brother was outside. Those kids were scared to play in their back yard, mostly the older ones but the younger ones were scared because their friends were scared.
So I made sure he knew that I saw him and I warned their parents. He moved out a while later.
Point is, pedophiles scare children. They make them uncomfortable.
Other notes:
-loli/con and shota/con are harmful to kids.
-pedophilic ships (especially from shows directed towards children) are harmful to kids.
-trying to get minors to sympathise with, or be comfortable around “non-contact” pedophiles is harmful to kids.
-^^part of this, but their supporters are harmful to kids too for this reason in particular.
I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think of them right now, so feel free to add on.
I’m just reblogging this again.
!!! Exposing kids to communities of “proud pedos” teaches them that it’s okay for adults to be attracted to them. Kids should not be learning to be comfortable around pedophiles and they should not be made to share spaces with them! this is a 13+ website, there are children on here
