what TLJ probably meant: poor Kylo Ren look he had a reason to come into the Dark Side his own uncle tried to kill him :’((( it’s also all Luke’s fault, blame him, he gave up on Ben so easy!!
what I, an intellectual, learned form TLJ: if Luke “there is still good in you dad Vader” Skywalker takes one look at Ben Solo’s mind and thinks this one is irredeemable then well, shit, I absolutely believe him
Kylo: luke tried to kill me when I was just a child!
What Rey Should have Said: And if he had then you wouldn’t have DESTROYED MULTIPLE PLANETS
Kylo: …..
Rey: YOU SLAUGHTERED BILLIONS
Kylo: …….
Rey: YOU MURDERED CHILDREN WITH A LASER SWORD
Kylo: okay but Luke…tried to kill me…
Rey: Because he saw your future where you murdered children and blew up planets
Kylo: Okay but if I WAS DEAD that would be BAD for me personally
Rey: But good for the billions of innocent people who you brutally murdered
Kylo: But…bad…for me…
So
TRAGIC
Rey: I don’t think you understand how this “Sad Backstory” thing works
Not just that, but literally IMMEDIATELY after almost getting killed by Luke he goes and kills all of the other jedi-in-training who won’t follow him. His first action after almost being killed, because Luke thought he was going to be evil, was murdering people.
I still can’t find the logical connection here like why would that be your second step
A not-evil person would have like…called their parents or…the space cops. Not murdered everyone else in his school.
“Asexuals can perpetuate homophobia, transphobia, lesbiphobia, biphobia, and can access heterosexual privilege, blah blah”
…Yeah? Gay men sure as fuck can be sexist and transphobic and racist, lesbian feminists literally have a subculture full of violent transphobes, and racism is a rampant problem in the LGBT community. Bisexuals are constantly accused of being privileged because they can pass as straight, as if being erased is aprivilege.
Plenty of your precious “real” queer people are fully capable of speaking out of turn and making ignorant jackasses out of themselves, that doesn’t mean that we’re planning on kicking entire subcultures out of the community any time soon. So maybe quit ascribing every possible evil to the ace community as if it’s some evil borg hivemind and chill the fuck out.
