Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 8943666" data-attributes="member: 4348">ONE OF THE BIGGEST crimes of TLJ...So...Johnson is against interracial romance (or at least that between whites and anyone who isn't white at least).  Any hints of it from TFA has to be erased...in a way that completely tries to pretend nothing could have ever been there.  Only minorities can romance each other?  Why is it that Finn and Rey can't be together.  Because they aren't both white?What does that say about romance that is even MORE non-traditional then.  This is not a good commentary that I appreciate seeing in my Star Wars.Why not keep up on HOW important Finn was in the storyline.  Why make it so he doesn't matter as much?  He had so much of being a central character in TFA...and then TLJ just...don't get me started.Then, rather than trying to appease this in some way, RoS sort of doubles down on this view.  They at least HINT that Finn may have the force and at least go in that direction, but they are too afraid to actually confirm anything in that light.  In addition, they once again have to give Finn yet ANOTHER individual they can hint at being an interest, rather than repair what TLJ did.  It apparently is better for a creeper to be one that Rey kisses at the end because...the directors are so afraid of things that are non-conservative in that arena that...yea...it makes me REALLY mad TBH.  Sure, Abrams puts in a half second hand wave to something different at the very end, but other than that...it's business like TLJ was towards POCs and anything that isn't seen strictly through the traditional lens.There are other racist things that was put into TLJ that many will try to write off as nonsense, but I find most of those who do so are white rather than POC's.  Then there's the fact that Disney didn't support Boyega or defend him (or Trans for that matter, if what Boyega says is true) in the way they should have.  They didn't uphold him.  They way they treated him...yeah...They decreased his presence, they decreased his screen time, they decreased just about everything about his character in relation to what it should have been.There are reasons I can list for disliking The sequel trilogy, but if I really boil it down, it comes down to my perceptions of how they treated minorities working in those movies.  It may just be my perception.I'll just leave his (Boyega's) comments here... (edited for language though...sorry, I don't think the forum would let the language portion of it stand).</blockquote>
