It's okay. To be fair, I didn't explain where I was coming from with what I said either. Random baseless judgement being far more common on the internet than random experience based concern, I understand the reaction and the entirely noble impulse to defend the airt. :)

DA, this is one of the most genteel resolutions to an online argument I have ever seen. :)
Looking through here and Tumblr, I am surprised fandom only jumped on Matt and not the obvious !crack worthy porn skit. xD

Could you imagine the Resistance coming across that????

Spinach and mushroom with alfredo or white sauce. I just don't like marinara :(
Honestly, it just wasn't that funny.
Yup. I tried, and just could not get a laugh going.
It's not as connected to the movie, and it was painful to watch. Prompt it though, maybe someone will run with it.
Haha, wow, like no one has ever had more than one fandom in their life?
Oh, I didn't think the skit was funny. Just that the idea of a character doing porn has been a crack trope in some of my other fandoms. And considering the random stuff people have grabbed into in this fandom, I'm surprise "Kylo Ren" does embarrassingly bad porn never caught up.
I'm in favour of a thick spicy sausage myself.
I fucking loved this skit. It made me wonder how much gay porn Adam Driver's watched lol
Because it drains the story of all conflict? I mean, you could have a brainwashed ally the good guys want to rescue. But that story has been done twice by Marvel in the past few years and done *well* in the Winter Soldier. And Star Wars has predictable dark/light conflicts. His backstory and motivation may be completely lacking, but he's a "dark", read bad, side dude.
NAYRT, but I really don't understand your argument. This story has to be the same as all other Star Wars stories, just because? And drained of all conflict? What about the entire rest of the First Order? What about Leia potentially struggling with fighting the FO when it could mean the death of her son? What if it's made horribly, painfully clear that none of this was ultimately his fault, but he never snaps out of it?
And I don't even know what Marvel has to do with anything. So they did the basic trope? There's more than one way to go with it, and the audiences aren't identical.

I think it's going to be not that he was brainwashed, but that he let the Knights of Ren into the Jedi school, knowing what they were going to do, as a final initiation to the group. He's still culpable for the deaths either way.
I think he will be getting a redemption arc, and one that's going to be fairly central in the final movie, if not the middle one, Because this is Disney though, I think they are going to try to soft-pedal Kylo's past wrongs. Even though they flat out had him murder his dad onscreen, and he's killed countless other people and is generally a rage-filled dick, they might back away from confirming outright he murdered a bunch of children because 'toy marketing'.
The Snoke in his head thing isn't brainwashing, really. It's straight up influence. Take a lonely kid, tell him he's right when he thinks people hate him and it's because they don't understand his potential power, and coax him around to joining the dark side. Kylo/Ben's still making the choice, he's just listening to bad influences in making it.
In short, I don't think it's as black and white as you're seeing it, and it's definitely not a Winter Soldier scenario.

Well, I know what I'm funding if I ever have a 100million dollars to spare.
I don't defend the simplistic story choices. I'm just rather cynical about it. I'd like to be surprised. Hell, I was rooting for a Magnificent Bastard Admiral Thrawn type of villain, and a New Republic that was corrupt and a mess but preferable to a dictator. But no, JJ Abrams/ Disney wiped out any and all political and cultural progress since the Battle of Endor, all the original heroes' victories and growth to release slicker better acted bad fanfiction.
And I still like the fucking movie. I *am* old and bitter.

See, I never read the books, so there's nothing to be torn down. It's like MCU. MCU doesn't follow comic canon, so the comics don't matter. It's a seperate thing. Same with the Star Wars movies. The tie in novels and comics etc don't matter, the movies are their own continuity, and the novels are the theories of ways things might go that held people over until canon came back. Really, the novels are the fanfiction. Not part of continuity unless acknowledged by the films.
It feels like the prompts are coming in too fast and not enough fills going out of late. I think it might be good idea to bring back the temporary prompt freeze at 2500 comments because it worked really well for the first prompt.
Additionally, it also allows for the older prompts to be browsed through without getting buried by new prompts/comments. I do imagine that not many people would have the time or patience to browse through every single page and read all the prompts and usually skip to the end. We're lucky that this kink meme is still new enough that the number of pages/prompts is manageable for now. But eventually, this ratio of fills vs prompts/comments can't be sustained.

Second. I was waiting for it and was surprised there was none. It'll also give people a chance to maybe go back to round 1 and 2.
Thirded. I like the idea of shorter freezes at 2500 and then longer ones between prompt posts. (I think that's how they do it? I admittedly haven't paid attention to how long the 2500 comment freezes are.)
