jawnbaeyega:ekateri28:phamsa:“There is racism in the writing of thousands of words’ worth of dissertation exploring the possibilities of Kylo Ren’s character based on the qualities and story arc that Finn has already shown and whose own plotline is canonically more feasible to what you lot claim as a powerful connection with Rey than the character who is the villain and has done nothing positive for/towards Rey. You lot have blatantly erased Finn’s characterization and actions. This is not isolated in that article. It’s a sentiment repeated continually by shippers that somehow pop-up in the FinnRey, Finn, and other tags. […] You lot are so concerned that you’re being accused of racism and instead of investigating yourselves of the inherent prejudices you might have, you decide to separate yourself from “the rest” which does nothing to quell the problem. Saying that majority of you are not racist does not magically negate r*ylo shippers from baring real-life prejudices that bleed into the consumption and interpretation of fiction. Your intent, no matter how positive you think it is, does not negate the impact of your and your lot’s actions, words, and works, that reek of internalized racism.” - @fakestarwarsfanDo you really want to ship Finnrey? The English Black cocky dude playing Finn is no Sidney Poitier, Samuel Jackson or even Morgan Freeman. It disgusts me to see Rey, a Jedi with Skywalker/Amidala blood and possible Organa Royalty flowing through her veins, to fall in love with a Stormtrooper who worked in Sanitation at Starkiller Base. Finn is not good enough for her to be shipped. She deserves better.Do you really want to share a species with ekateri28? It disgusts me to see a human being, a person supposedly with blood running through their veins, be brazenly and transparently racist and openly endorse white supremacy. The hateful, racist Tumblr user ekateri28 is not good enough to inhabit the same Earth as immensely talented, charismatic, gorgeous John Boyega (learn his name, you’ll be hearing it often), or any actual human being or sentient species for that matter. We all deserve better. -- source link
