I literally cannot imagine needing to be right so badly I’d embarrass myself attacking people for liking two Disney characters together when literal dystopia is upon our asses outside, and Disney is a giant paragon of that decay and is actively co-opting our society through media as a whole but honestly go off Karen this is so important, the Work you’re Doing with the Ships
Honestly that’s a p weak argument when the shit I’m talking about is anti shippers lobbing abuse accusations at people for writing fanfic of people they like
I’m not saying you can’t care about both. But I’m allowed to question if what you’re doing is activism when most of how you are acting out is by lashing out, at people minding their business in fandom spaces
But thanks for the scolding, my critical thinking skills are intact despite it
If I didn’t think you could have hobbies and care about this stuff, why would I be posting about it…
Also let’s not pretend that there aren’t really good reasons to criticize Disney if you want to do that, and saying racist or misogynistic shit to fans of reylo or kylo Ren on Tumblr is not an effective way to do that. Notice I didn’t use any Real Life Atrocities to compare it to except the relevant one: Disney owning a lot of the information people have access to. If you’re asking me the political relevance of star wars to a greater political discussion, anti shipping is still a pointless and vindictive form of activism
Criticizing fans and fandom is just as valid as criticizing Disney itself. Maybe even more so. You can have as many gross, racist, abusive fantasies as you like but the moment you make them public, they’re fair game for analysis and criticism.
Classifying fandom content across the board as abusive and ‘gross’ because you don’t like it or you feel it CAN be those things is manipulative, and virtue signalling based on your politics, and it still isn’t an effective form of activism. You are engaging with people who aren’t striving to make political content or a political statement, you’re *attacking* fan creators. Not to mention if you really hate reylo you might want to focus your mudslinging on the movie makers, they push it nearly as hard as the fans and tbh ? You are having zero impact on themes portrayed in star wars by focusing your critique on forcing political structures into fandom works where it isn’t present. It is also s c i e n c e that engaging people with shame, especially while taking them out of context *doesn’t fucking work*.
But okay dude. You said it, the buzzwords. You have retained the approval of people who already agreed with you… Congrats. I’m going to go back to actually enjoying this fandom by blocking people who spend their time in it stroking their egos with fabricated bullshit 🤷
Also to be really clear, anti shipping is not simply critique, or it wouldn’t be a campaign unto itself. You are engaging in emotional warfare w people over hypothetical abuse, and projecting individual abuse narratives onto a story where no abuse is intended, and then saying it’s Important Critical analysis. Nowhere am I advocating people shouldnt critically analyze media. It still doesn’t make fandom infighting that mostly results in baseless ad hominem helpful, productive, or anything but self indulgent honestly
Rey has never looked at any other man the way she looks at Ben Solo in this shot. Like she knows something about their future that we don’t.
Like she’s ready to fall in love.
“She looked at him a long moment, her blinded love-she’d traveled light-years to find him, risked her life, lost hard-won time need sorely by the Rebellion, time she couldn’t really afford to throw away on personal quests and private desires…but she loved him.” - Return of the Jedi (novel)
I love how Rian recreated this in The Last Jedi. That scene where Leia is watching Han come out of the sleep from his tomb at Jabba’s. Rey looking up at Ben from her tomb like pod and thinking the exact thing Leia did about Han in this moment. Gives me chills!!
I love TLJ. Many of my friends and family do not like it, or they’re not big enough fans of Star Wars to care. So, really, I don’t mind if you don’t like the movie. I have problems with it (some of the editing was off, I think it would have been stronger if it took place over the course of a week, Finn’s arc was missing crucial scenes and exchanges, and I wish Phasma was used more and hope she’ll come back) And I’m willing to debate with others about the movie! But I think based on all of the garbage rants I’ve seen of this movie over the past few months, I’ve compiled a list of invalid arguments that will make me turn the video off or skip over the post. Feel free to fight me on any of these, but if a “reviewer” complains about these things into TLJ, it just tells me that they did not walk in expecting to like the movie unless it conformed to their precise expectations:
-Rey Skywalker/Solo theories or whatever
-Snoke’s characterization
-Rey being a “Mary Sue”
-the fact that she doesn’t hate Kylo anymore apparently not making sense
-the idea of Rey being a prop for the male characters
-the fact that she briefly blindsided Luke and fought him for a minute
-Luke being on Ach-To at all
-Luke not fighting anyone else and instead projecting himself to face Kylo
-calling Rose useless or acting like she’s getting in the way of a ship
-even worse, referring to her as “Asian chick” or “Asian b*tch,” which is disgustingly racist and sexist
-complaining about Finn not being revealed to be a force sensitive Jedi
-talking about SJWs
-complaining about Holdo not telling Poe her plan
-denouncing the movie as utter trash because of your in depth military analysis of the chase and Crait battles
-whining that Admiral Ackbar should have had Holdo’s role
-whining that “oooooh Luke wouldn’t murder anyone thanks for ruining him RJ”
-Poe being given flaws
-calling Canto Bight useless filler
-the bombs that Paige dropped (yes I have seen specific complaints about that)
-Rian’s “political agenda”or feminist propaganda
-acting like the jokes killed the movie
-Rey wanting her parents
-Kylo being presented as relatively sympathetic and not just Vader 2.0 (specifically, Kylo breaking the mask, not killing Leia, and actually being vulnerable with Rey)
-“ooooh nothing changes at the end of the movie”
-the fact that Luke criticized the Jedi order and the movie as a whole pushed for the whole “let the past die” theme
-the fact that the force was used in different ways
-the fact that Luke projected himself at the end and disappeared
-the fact that the knights of Ren weren’t key players
-Leia force pulling herself back into the ship (specifically on a conceptual level-I’m not a fan of the cinematography of that scene, but I’m talking about force sensitive Leia on paper)
And finally…
-the fact that Rose saved Finn and kissed him
There are plenty of valid criticisms of TLJ out there, and there are plenty of points that I generally agree with. There are also plenty more points that I don’t agree with, this list just covers shit that was said by straight guys (mostly you tubers) who started out their reviews talking about how they’ve been lifelong Star Wars fans. I don’t even want to get started on the bullshit tumblr has to offer, calling the producers and Rian Nazis because they dared to give Poe flaws or not have a passionate finnrey make out scene.
I just really need to get this off my chest because I’ve only been into Star Wars for a few years now, and I fucking hate how toxic this fan base has been, especially since TLJ came out. And when I actually try to go and listen to the other side, and see if there’s any information to be gleaned, 90% of the criticisms come down to purely subjective nitpicks that people blow way out of proportion.
Guys. It’s a fucking space opera. The Jedi are samurai with laser swords. Half of every movie is spent on a bunch of spaceships going PEW PEW at each other, and three of the nine movies centred around blowing up rhedunant super weapons.
I get that this is like a religion to some people, but you need to put things in perspective. A Star Wars movie that tries to change the status quo is not automatically blasphemous. It’s just a fucking movie.
Feel free to argue with me about this stuff though, can’t wait for the anon hate to start pouring in.
This is a translation of my meta “Детство - Отрочество - Юность” originally written in Russian. @saturninefeline helped smooth my English style, for which I am very grateful to her.
Below, you will see text and pictures which are better perceived via tables, and this meta was written with tables in mind. I’m afraid much of its clarity will be lost due to the need to remove the tables for the publication on Tumblr. I encourage you to check the very same meta published on AO3 with all its tables. I promise, it’s worth clicking the external link.
If the middle part of the trilogy is Adolescence, then TFA is Childhood, and the forthcoming EpIX will be Youth. The sequel trilogy, through the eyes of a Reylo, is a story of three encounters of Kylo and Rey whose appearance and behaviour refer to three different psychological ages.
On December 14, 2017, my Reylo friends and I left the cinema theater with and without a present. We wanted to scream “It’s canon!” but our throats wouldn’t make a sound.
Reylos after the movie
What was it? It was as if we’d gotten everything (Force bond, Kylo’s naked torso, touching hands, back to back fighting) but, at the same time, our victory seemed hollow: why did their relationship feel so rushed? Why does she slam the door right in his face? Did Reylo become canon and then immediately die?
Rey’s behavior was terribly strange:
Kylo did no better:
Is this the love story we all hoped to see оn-screen? Why such haste, when the story could have developed slowly and smoothly?
As an excuse for the galactic idiots (and the idiot scriptwriter who made them that way), I could оnly recall Rian Johnson’s point which he constantly repeated in many ways in his interviews: this is a coming-of-age story, Rey and Kylo are “two sides of the same coin” going through the difficult period of adolescence.
Is it really, though? Let’s take a look at the adolescent stage of development.
Typical adolescents:
“Adolescent” Kylo and Rey:
Now let’s see how the “adults” of this story behave:
Typical adults or adult abusers*:
“Fathers” Snoke and Luke
In the summer of 2017, when first оn-set photographs emerged оn the internet, fans suddenly saw Rey’s breasts. A romantic hairdo completed her fresh image which, it seemed, showed her growing into womanhood. In the light of this analysis, it is hard to escape a different conclusion: breasts develop when a girl is оn the point of puberty. In The Force Awakens, Rey’s breasts were markedly flat, her hairdo pointedly childish, form very thin. In TFA, Rey is metaphorically a SMALL GIRL who is growing into adolescence in The Last Jedi.
If the middle part of the trilogy is Adolescence, then TFA is Childhood, and the forthcoming EpIX will be Youth. The sequel trilogy, through the eyes of a Reylo, is a story of three encounters of Kylo and Rey whose appearance and behaviour refer to three different psychological ages. Each age is coded in the actions of the two halves of our protagonist and the way the actors are dressed, carry themselves and play, which we will consider below.
I. CHILDHOOD (The Force Awakens)
II. ADOLESCENCE (The Last Jedi)
III. YOUTH (EpIX — forecast)
