This whole shitty thing with Kelly Marie Tran really throws the whole “male characters’ actions are blamed on the writers but with female characters it’s their fault” thing into sharp relief, man. Like, Draco Malfoy spends seven Harry Potter books and a play being a violent racist who shouts slurs at people, and everyone goes “Aww, he’s just misunderstood! Why didn’t JKR give him a redemption arc?” MCU Loki killed hundreds of people and it’s all “Well… that was a bad movie written by a bad writer so it doesn’t count?” But Rose Tico…
…is just a regular person? Who finds heroism within herself? Is not a villain? And yet every damn post about Kelly being harassed seems to begin with “Well, I don’t like Rose but…” Why not?!? And why is that even a necessary thing to quantify?!?
