Re: According to AO3 stats Kylux is catching up to Stormpilot

While I agree with the fact that the extreme side of Tumblr SJW is tiresome (I still can't believe people demand people to tag food like pineapples because triggers or whatever), I see a lot of people in this community group them all together while dismissing real issues.

For example, I don't think shipping Reylo makes you a racist or an abuse apologist (I ship Finnlo who am I to judge), but I have also come across a sad number of racist and apologist meta on Tumblr from that side of fandom (post saying Finn grabbing Rey's hand is abusive but Kylo reading her mind is a sign of respect for example) as well as sexist and racist posts from Stormpilot fans and yes, homophobic and racist posts from Finnrey fans (mainly again Poe).

So while I agree Tumblr has a tendency to abuse issues like racism and misogynism, we also can't act like it's not an issue, even if it comes from a few loud fans.
