What I learned from last week& #39;s drama is that despite the fact Finn is the character with the most possible romantic partners, regardless of any actual racism(intentional or not) by Reylos, if you didn& #39;t choose him as the partner for the white female lead, you were seen as racist
I mean, in a distant way, I get it, but it& #39;s kind of convoluted.
Rey is a good character, but not shipping her with Finn isn& #39;t a sign of white supremacy?
Rey is not a more valuable partner than Poe or later Rose or Jannah, so not shipping Finn with Rey isn& #39;t a political act

I& #39;ve seen people smarter than me say that Hollywood is inherently the product of a system that lifts up white people/narratives, and that& #39;s true! but erasing other characters to lift Rey and Finn& #39;s relationship as the Only Pure Ship has its own levels of ickiness.
I like FinnPoe and FinnRose, but also I like GingerFlower art and I have even seen some cool DarkPilot stuff.
This is why holding up a ship as a political virtue signal makes no sense; this is a field in which I can hold multiple beliefs and not have them be damaging
