kylo ren is the prime example of white male villains whose awful actions are excused by white fangirls in order to faun over him because he’s “tragic” and “tortured”, instead of focusing on the black character (finn) who is actually tragic and tortured, and instead of becoming a monster, went against everything that he ws programmed to be and became a good guy

he’s also the prime example of an abusive white man who the fans would rather ship with the white female lead instead of a variety of other, less abusive potential partners, but are not accepted as valid options by them because they’re not white men
