Sure we can stop talking about Kylo whenever criticizing Rey comes up... when the reaction creators and Tumblr have to a shallow Neo-Nazi School Shooter killing a beloved hero is
not to promote him to romantic male lead in a way
guaranteed to crash the main character..
That REALLY is my POV.
Because, again.... the Neo-Nazi School Shooter who killed Han Solo got promoted to Rey’s love interest by TLJ and TROS had to honor that under LFL’s instructions.
I’m not saying Rey ain’t written in an bad way.
I’m saying she’s written in a bad way
because of Kylo. As was Finn, Luke, Leia, and Han.
OP characters ain’t nearly the problem that shitty-ass romances with laughably-shitty character focus are when the shitty-ass romance’s laughably Shiite main character becomes the creator’s main interest.
People don’t mind All Star Superman when he can fix the sun with his bear hands... but if you made him Luthor’s abused boyfriend while arguing Luthor is just so damn sympathetic, you’d get a TLJ and TROS-style reaction.
