Fair. Even just glancing at the periphery of the SW fandom it seems like a hellscape.
I was complaining about it to my Mom (we were having a general discussion about social media and internet subcultures) and she pointed out that it made sense that a franchise that is so focused on the idea of good and evil would attract people who want to fight with each other about morality.
The Star Wars fandom was fun for a few months after The Force Awakens came out but now I can’t stand it. I reblog #finnreyfridays posts and FinnRey meta sometimes but other then that I don’t consider myself an active member anymore.

I’m never sure whether people who want to ship characters with a same sex character feeling the need to illegitimize existing opposite sex canon relationships they have had is more annoying or the pearl clutching you can’t ship this person with same sex characters because their canon relationships haven’t been response is more annoying.
They both are very annoying and I’ve dealt with both. I’ve also dealt with people, in the latter case, accusing everyone who shipped the same-gender pairing of being fetishizers and only in the fandom for shipping instead of genuine fans.
