it's Kylux from SW:TFA - that is, Kylo Ren/Hux. I don't know if you're ship it? Apparently it's the biggest pairing in the fandom now, and someone was like "okay shipping is fine but you found the /only young white guys in the entire movie/"
and i know that erasure of women and poc in shipping is a thing, and i know it's important to talk about! it's just that i have the knee jerk reaction of OH GOD I AM SINGLE HANDEDLY RUINING FANDOM BY NOT SHIPPING THE RIGHT THINGS
which is dumb, and I know it's dumb, and OP was explicit that being invested in a ship is fine and they didn't intend to hate on the ship. and i know that it's logistically improbable for me to be personally responsible for all of the unfortunate trends in fandom, but my brain is dumb and sometimes very loud.
