Parallels between ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ and ‘Star Wars 9 ‘
‘‘You belong to me ‘‘
It’s like Rey is just a sex object and have no choice. It disrespectful for women, Daisy and her character.
Just to make a few things clear...
People aren't upset at John for disliking reylo. He's a human being and he can have whatever views on shipping he sees fit. No one cares about that and if someone does, they should rethink their priorities. People are upset, because of the gross, sexist things he said on Instagram before ever making the reylo tweet. Here's what he said:
This is disgusting. Implying that a woman is some sort of a trophy to be won, when you eventually fuck her. A woman doesn't have agency, what matters is who takes her virginity, as if she can be claimed that way. Calling it "just a joke" is also disturbing, because I've heard that excuse from men, trying to avoid consequences for their sexist comments, one too many times.
Overall, his views are troubling, especially paired with how he's liked a post about Chris Brown avoiding jail time for rape in the past.
This isn't about fictional characters or the suggestion that Finn and Rey will have sex, that's the farthest thing from what matters here. The issue is with how he spoke about women as a whole.
No one's condoning the abuse he recieved in this fandom or trying to dismiss it, the racism that's directed against him to this day will always be disgusting and unacceptable.
That being said, he messed up. He said demeaning things about women and he should've apologised instead of doubling down. That's why people are mad at him. Not because of reylo, not because he suggested that Rey can have sex with Finn, it's about the real life implications of his comment.
He deserves love and happiness ! #SaveBenSolo
