Am i the only find all those “Rey can beat the shit out of Kylo” being highlighted as a great quality in fanfic and jokes highly distasteful, cringey and sexist??
I mean if writing “Kylo can beat the shit of Rey” even in joke is horrifying then why the reverse is funny? or Rey’s combat capability as some worthy character highlight when even ob/ikin fics don’t bother to? that doesn’t sound right ..
yes, THIS.
WHY IS EVERYONE SO OBSESSED WITH THEM BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER!?!?!
balance, people, balance.
they are intended to compliment, not overpower one another.
Finally, someone said it! It’s such a double standard. Yes, let’s just joke about how an obviously mentally ill man (mentally well people don’t have “tantrums” at the age of 29 or beat their own wounds) should be beaten by his girlfriend to keep him in line. That’s not problematic at all.
Women are capable of being abusive partners.
Men are capable of being abused.
Reylos and Antis alike perpetuate this double standard and forget that men are capable of being abused.
