This is excellent:

The Last Jedi, toxic masculinity, and showing your place in all this

ETA: EmoKyloRen just doesn't stop being funny... Under cut, cause spoilers:

no hux
i definitely have a girlfriend
we speak with our minds
she has a magic cave where she does syncopated snapping
and she’s super good with a lightsaber and like so strong with the force
no i don’t know her last name
but she definitely isn’t made up

The Last Jedi tells us what many other narratives like this do not. Kylo does not *deserve* redemption. There is no cookie for doing the bare minimum of recognising Rey’s worth and right to be the hero. He can only redeem himself by taking his place at her side, joining her team, accepting equality over supremacy. He doesn’t, and for that he receives the most terrible of punishments: being left alone with himself.

THIS.

Too many stories are about white men being offered too many second chances. There’s only one here for Kylo. Woe betide you who do not learn from his failures.

Technically he had two and he impaled the first one, so... *cough*

A+ gifs! :D

(It's SUCH a good article. *hands*)

You mean Snoke? Not sure I follow...

[sea_thoughts]

LOL sorry, I mean Han. Cause... he impaled him too. He's really fond of impaling, isn't he? He tried it on Luke too, only... Luke wasn't going to be taken down by such limited measures. ;)

*hits self over head*

Sorry, obviously not thinking clearly today...

And yes, you're right. :)
