There's at least 2, maybe 3, people in this thread line who are pro-tumblr, so no single person keeps 'misinterpreting' your comments. I don't know if there's just one of you who keeps saying 'no, I mean the other tumblr people.'
The thing is that there isn't a clear good versus bad tumblr social justice line. There are people into social justice who are also into fandom. Some of these people are annoyed that every time there is a woman or black character they are dismissed as boring or not as interesting as two white male characters who become the fandom favorite and get the most fanfiction written about them.
That doesn't necessarily mean being against the ship and people who ship it, but it sometimes becomes that way, especially through interactions like this.
For example I'm a huge multi shipper. I write FinnPoe the most, but I've written a wide range of pairings. I wrote a couple of Kylux fics. But interacting with people, like in this thread, who dismiss people who have any critical view of fandom as tumblr sjws, or the people who go on and on about how boring Finn is compared to characters like Hux has made me no longer ship Kylux. I don't want to hang with those people. It's not the fact that people ship it that is annoying. It's that these people are so defensive of their ship and say shit like 'I guess I'm a skinhead then' or try and explain how Hux didn't actually commit genocide. People proudly say they are going to ship already dominate white pairings just 'to spite' those nasty sjws. Every single page of this discussion is filled with at least two or three of you explaining why FinnPoe and Rey in general just aren't interesting and justifying why Kylux is the only interesting pairing. There's opinions and then there's larger trends that happen across fandoms. People get sick of it. I know I am.
I'm not someone who writes about stuff like this on tumblr. I don't make posts about pairings I don't like. But I still am aware of what's going on and am critical of it. I still don't like most of this fandom because of people who think being critical of media and fandom trends is some sort of attack on their freedom.
So I am probably who you are talking about, actually caring about social justice aside.
Re: According to AO3 stats Kylux is catching up to Stormpilot
