missmonty:swladies:“Rose is not an amazing pilot or a Jedi. She’s a strong in a different way, and I think that’s kind of how she holds her own.”I saw a post saying rian was shit to make her a maintenance worker while she could ve been a doctor like…??? Do u get her entire purpose? She’s not a big hero she is not a jedi a pilot a fighter or someone with an amazing job that helps the rebellion in obvious ways. Much like rey she starts with very humble origins, and we see how people don’t need to be high ranking officers or ex enemy members or trained fighters in order to become heroes.She was in the background until it was time to show that maintenance workers are fucking badass because they also know. Shit.Plus… Pls don’t pretend as if there would t be an uproar (and rightly so) if she was a doctor like that is such a huge Asian stereotype. Waiting to blow right there.She isn’t a tech genius she isn’t a doctor. She is in maintenance. Rey and rose arent special because of their job or origins, unlike a lot of star wars male heroes are, but instead come from what we think of as lower and fucking show everyone what a bad bitch means. I’m glad she’s not a doctor because women mechanics are discriminated because of their gender, and it’s more so in asia. Girls don’t even think about being a “black hand” (how we call grease-monkey in mandarin) because it’s seen as 100% men’s job and ppl will straight up telling you it’s impossible/no way you can do it if you’re a girl. It’s nice to see an asian woman not doing the stereotypical job for once. -- source link
