Guys, please don’t bully each other.

I’m probably going to lose followers for this but it needs to be said. Even if you think the other person you’re harassing is being racist or sexist or whateverist, it’s still wrong. It doesn’t matter how just your cause is; if your methods are bad than what you are doing is wrong.

We preen about knowing how terrible antis are, but have we ever stopped to consider what exactly it is that makes them so bad? It’s not they don’t ship reylo or like Kylo. It’s not that they think anything other than shipping f1nnr3y is racist. It’s what they do in the name of those beliefs—harassment.

I do my best to keep this a discourse free blog because I want to people to enjoy it, but people need to know that I am anti harassment on both sides of the discourse whether it’s anti vs shipper or shipper vs shipper.

But, you say, Rey doesn’t fall to the Dark Side.

She doesn’t fall, no. She doesn’t turn evil.  But watch that scene again.  She closes her eyes.  She reaches for the Force.  And when she opens her eyes again, she snarls.  She beats Kylo Ren back with brute strength and vicious, choppy saber-blows, like Luke used in Return of the Jedi when the Dark Side tempted him.  When Ren’s forced to his knees, she circles him with the Dark Side stalk. Daisy Ridley delivers a perfect physical quote of Ray Park’s Darth Maul. ”
