In this thread? Because I read most of the comments, and I don't recall it right now. The PC army mostly fights with facepalms here, but after reading that garbage article I kinda understand why, as people who type those mental gymnastics out, look rather... vulnerable to common sense.
It's almost like how the Force is explained in TLJ: it needs balance. For everyone hating characters based on their gender or race, there has to be an equal amount of people who put this movie on a shield, and would say the same things ("Rose is like, totes the best character I've ever seen in cinema") without even seeing the movie. Did you read the last, I don't know, 7 or so pages in this thread? Have you seen anyone write something like
"Rose/Holdo/Leia/Rey was amazing, I really liked them and their arc. One thing that might've been a little bad/dumb/inconsistent/unpolished was [...]" ? I save you the time of re-reading all the posts: no, you have not. They are perfect. I said perfect.
It's funny in a bitter way, that the biggest adversary for these movies with a modern approach are their very own apologists. Compare these movies with learning how to ride a bike. I think most of us had our fair share of accidents. I know I got cocky to the point where I started going as fast as i could, until my leg slipped off, into the wheel it went, and I fell like a piece of wood. Being buried under a bike and in agony is an amazing opportunity to reevaluate things. That's how you learn, that's how you adjust, that's how you get better. It's true for basically everything in life. But imagine falling with your bike, and being cheered on by people:
"Amazing! You are doing just great!" "You are like Lance Armstrong, but without the steroids!" "I'm not exaggerating, when I say this: you are not only the best biker I've ever seen, but you are also a wonderful person." Why would you change anything if you have a bunch of people blindly praising anything you do, because you areone of their poster child?
And the biker example is not even that good, because at least you hurt yourself during accidents, so you are still kinda inclined to aim for being better, but when your movie reaps in the $$$ and such a mundane and unoriginal character like Rose can be called (unironically, may I add) one of the best characters in any movie, then you just found the recipe for laziness. Why would you bother with writing an actual character and plot-line, when you can just "cast a Rose" and get away with everything?
Also, have you seen anyone successfully reason with these people? Like, ever? I've seen plenty of arguments for and against Snoke's death, Luke's death, Luke's exile, so basically stuff that doesn't really involves an agenda. But whenever it's about Rose and Holdo being bags of bricks, all you hear is crickets chirping. They are just amazing because they are amazing, that's all you hear. There are Walter Whites, Nucky Thmpsons and Kim Wexlers, who can get away with such. But you don't hear much about Kim Wexler (from
Better Call Saul), do you? She is wildly recognized as one of the most real and well-written characters. She has flaws and strenghts (aka she's a human being) and she is a very delicate representation of the struggles of being a woman in a highly-contested and male-dominated area such as a career in law.
How many articles do you think Melissa Hillman wrote about Kim Wexler? Get ready for a surprise:
zero. Her only goal is to be upset, so she has to ignore the Kim Wexlers. Everyone likes Kim Wexler. Men, women, possibly aliens. She is a real success story in the showbiz'. So fuck her. What about Rose? A shallow, boring and uninspired figure, who is under some heavy-crossfire. Well duh, she is
obviously the epitome of female representation in Hollywood (meanwhile Jennifer Jason Leigh is crying in a corner), because she is nice, and girls are nice, and oh my god, did I tell you how amazing she is?
All in all I have no idea if you are a sexist, racist bigot or not, but I'm fairly convinced that being dissatisfied with Rose's character and the way she was written would actually imply the opposite.
