Reddit and Medium are pretty dubious as far as reputable sources go, they're about as reliable as a Tumblr post is, just somebody blogging. The sources themselves are pretty bad. The national student insinuates that Rose was brought on to squash the idea that Finn was LGBT, which is a reach. Then further tries to compare Kylo Ren's alleged sympathy to real life mass shooters receiving sympathy in the media which is at best rather disgusting; real people died, they're not a gotcha to a fictional villain you don't like. The Empire having sympathetic points is old hat, the First Order are still explicitly the bad guys, and this seems to try to say that the movie is dog-whistling for the nazis.
Edited by DrPsycheNot just any source either, it has to be a reputable source.
"I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."Seems a valid critical source
I don't understand why medium is disliked so replaced with alternates
As well as
However I once again ask, if the implications are there as noted in various forums and publications. Then does it not stand?
Per the trope's definition the example needs to be noted in a reputable publication for it to stand. Something being noted in various forums won't always work. There's a huge quantity of opinions especially around something as popular as Star Wars. Even minor opinions can have hundreds if not thousands of people supporting them. Sticking to reputable sources filters out what could be just fan-wank, or at least that's the idea. Not every complaint is valid, and that validity is subjective, hence why this trope is so controversial and citations were put in as a requirement.
Sorry, I had a bit of trouble articulating this.

So what do? I don't think a citation from reddit is reputable.
