I'm not seeing the Bella/Edward parallels; it falls under COunterpartComparison, anyway. If you can sum it up in a way that doesn't ignore facts and WordOfGod[[note]] Kylo's

I\'m not seeing the Bella/Edward parallels; it falls under COunterpartComparison, anyway. If you can sum it up in a way that doesn\'t ignore facts and WordOfGod[[note]] Kylo\'s \"You\'re nothing. But not to me.\" has been stated to be an InnocentlyInsensitive comment due to his \'\'very\'\' poor social skills and not deliberate emotional manipulation[[/note]], then go for it.

As for mistreatment of minorities.... That\'s a prime FlameBait. Example: Poe entrusts Finn and Rose (the black male and asian female) to carry out a dangerous mission and save the Resistance. All possible outcomes [[MortonsFork will lead to griping in the fanbase]] because:
* If Finn and Rose had succeeded, then the minority characters saved the white main characters. It\'s got to be the writers pandering to black and asian viewers.
* If Finn and Rose fail (which they did), then the minority characters are useless and doomed the Resistance. Poe should have gone instead of them; he would have gotten shit done!
* If Finn and Rose were white instead of black and asian respectively, then the writers are obviously racists.
* If Poe, Holdo, etc were black/asian/whatever, then the Resistance\'s near-decimation obviously means the the fascist First Order is superior; the writers are \'\'clearly\'\' pro-white.

See what I\'m trying to say? No matter what you do, you can\'t win.(I would also like to point out that the above are just an example and in no way my personal views on the matter; just FYI, so hopefully nobody will get out the pitchforks).

Besides, I\'m really not seeing minorities being mistreated.
