  • Finn/Poe: Ignores Rey; misogynistic. Also het-phobic (???).
  • Rey/Finn: Ignores Finn/Poe subtext; homophobic.
  • Rey/Poe: Homophobic and racist (in this context, Poe is considered white-passing).
  • Rey/Finn/Poe: Homophobic; also something about pushing the bi agenda, idk.
  • Any configuration not Rey/Finn/Poe: Biphobic, anti-poly.
  • Lesbian!Rey: Racist, unless shipped with a PoC fem!OC.
  • Ace!Rey: Misogynistic; something about desexing powerful women.
  • Rey/Kylo Ren: Abusive, possibly incestuous, racist (ignores Rey/Finn).
  • Poe/Kylo Ren: Abusive, racist (white guy torturing non-white guy; in this context, Poe is considered a PoC).
  • Kylo Ren/Hux: Literal Space Nazis don’t deserve to get laid; Nazi-apologism.

Feel free to add your own observations. :)

ah, this reminds me of the good old post-rots days when if you shipped anakin/obi-wan you were a misogynist for ignoring padme, and if you shipped anakin/padme or obi-wan/padme you were homophobic for ignoring the anakin/obi-wan subtext (listen, i’m not saying i fought in the old ship wars, but i might have been involved in, er, some boating skirmishes once or twice >.>)

in short: new star wars fandom is as awful as old star wars fandom, proceed with shipping as you please, because no matter who you ship, you’re a terrible person, so just enjoy your voyage into fandom hell

I am actually kind of glad I wasn’t into this enough to become fannish, because this sounds like a shitstorm of teen wolf proportions.

In short: no matter what you ship, it will be evil trash.

This basically sums up the general gist of every supposedly social - justice based shipwank in every fandom ever lbr

Reaching back into Ur-History, the Luke-Han Wars (not slash). And of course the Han/Luke (slash) war. And the Anything Above PG13 War.
