stanleycubrick replied to your post “poe's "character arc" was completely out of character for him...”
ok sorry but this is really dismissive of genuine problems poc have had with the movie, you cant push all the racism in star wars onto the fans like that. the white feminist backlash to poe's character is proof enough that the film demonised him
I guess I just had an entirely different experience with his arc. obviously I did - I haven’t read any articles at all and the word mansplaining never occurred to me while watching the movie - everything I wrote just then was purely my interpretation of what I saw on the film devoid of anyone else’s reaction to it. I’m not trying to push racism onto the fans either, just noting patterns I’ve noticed. but I don’t think Poe was sexualized in the film unless I’ve somehow been hugely blindsided by it, and wasn’t his plan what ultimately ended up saving all of them? I’m saying all of this in genuine sincerity as well; not trying to be rude or sarcastic
