If youre referring to that article that came out a week ago, John Boyega didnt actually confirm stormpilot for VIII he just gave a noncommittal neutral answer "you never know what they're gonna pull". and anyway hes free to change his mind and ship whatever he wants to
1: Reblogged something right after that had that clearly stated (plus I haven’t seen the article in a while so I was paraphrasing)
2: “and anyway he’s free to change his mind and ship whatever he wants to”
Nice to know you didn’t read the post.
“If John honestly changed his mind because he honestly thinks StormPilot is a cool ship, hey I’m happy, but if it’s because he was forced to by the fandom, I sincerely hope he stops because he shouldn’t have to make the shippers happy just to not be attacked”
If he changed his mind because he wanted too, great! If he “changed his mind” so he wouldn’t be attacked by StormPilot shippers who were calling him homophobic for not shipping it: I hope he doesn’t keep forcing himself to ship it.
So, if the fandom is making him ship it, is he really allowed to ship whatever he wants?
