Title: Sexism in the Star Wars fan community

Reason: User Banned (3 Days): Derogatory memes + History of personal attacks

But shortly after ANH and TPM's releases, no one was calling them MARY SUESSS even when all they'd done was win by that point in their respective stories. That's what I'm saying. People were so quick to label Rey a Mary Sue just after TFA when Luke and Anakin were also incredibly good with the Force when their own first-in-the-trilogy entries came out. No one gave a shit. Hm, I wonder ? Rey doesn't have faults? Being unable to move on from a desperate hope that her parents will return isn't a flaw? Thinking herself as a keystone of some larger, grander tale ala the Prophesised Anakin when she's just some kid of a couple of drunks isn't a flaw? Tell me, what's Luke's flaw in ANH and ESB? He's kind of annoying. That's it. Rey's character is considerably more compelling. Also, nobody was able to beat Rey? She was clowned by Snoke and easily disarmed by Luke. Do you actually watch these movies, or is the material too difficult for you to grasp? Lmao. People didn't write off young Anakin because of how stupidly good with the Force he was, they wrote him off because Lucas wrote Jake Lloyd's lines insufferably. Look at the reactions when Ridley and Boyega were cast. Look at the harassment of Kelly Marie Tran. Can you honestly tell me that there some level of bigotry being perpetuated here? "THE LAST JEDI IS OBJECTIVELY BAD REEEEEEEE" Are you ten years old?
