dont follow me, i’ll softblock.

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@ab_wxm either way idt it matters now with both boyega and jenny moving on with their lives. i just shared it bec someone wanted context and this post had a lot of screenshots, so ppl can form their own opinions.

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mvdpire ppl right now are trying to look for an objectively wrong or right person when it was more like. a crude joke on JB’s part that stemmed from years of mistreatment. a short-sighted commentary on Jenny that was co-opted by parasocial shippers to frame JB as a sex pest to his costar

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mvdpire tbqh i dont think he was thinking of shippers as a fandom specifically when he made that joke, just what reylo symbolized to JB (see: his post-sw trilogy interviews) and his bitterness for it

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@ab_wxm youre not wrong about it being overzealous but fyi this post isnt new, it’s from 2021

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@ithitsdiffere @mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire i wasnt trying to change your opinion. i shared a summary bec someone asked what happened, i said it wasnt really that simple. acting like anyone was fully wrong or right when it went down is just rehashing the same discourse again.

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@StephenBurkett_ @mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire unfortunately i was following the discourse back then and saw how a bunch of crazed parasocial shippers used a content creator’s statements to amplify their harassment that ended with BOTH being harassed

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@StephenBurkett_ @mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire also disclaimer im not here trying to start up anything again just that theres a reason JB was extra irate, annoying and crude back then and that jenny’s commentary was short-sighted and only created harassment for them BOTH

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@StephenBurkett_ @mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire like idk if yall just forgot but these were the types of ppl following him around on his mentions and used jenny’s statements as validation to harass him into leaving social media

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire i guess the crudeness is really the deciding factor for how ppl feel about the statement because rpattz jokes about jacob getting cucked all the time while JB made one joke and it was massively overblown at the time

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire imo as long as it’s within fiction and not a direct hit on a co-star then actors are fine to have opinions. like, when rpattz was going around making fun of bella and edward in the mid-2000s, it was obviously not a dig towards kristen stewart or himself

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@ithitsdiffere @mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire hey i suggest reading further into the thread because i talk with this person on the nuances of the situation

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire it wasn’t about his coworkers tho — it was about the fictional starwars characters finn and rey and just making a “kylo is a cuck” joke. reylos specifically took offense and MASSIVELY framed this as sexual harassment to daisy ridley, the person, when it was about the characters

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire i saw how it all went down and how jenny’s involvement worsened JB’s fandom treatment so tbqh i cannot agree with you. but anyway nothing will change bec its been years and everyones moved on except twitter.

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire im not asking anything from jenny, im giving you context to what happened to form your own opinion

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire like how come dark romance enjoyers can openly discuss having breeding kinks and the bdsm plays their OTPs can have but john boyega making an offhand cuck joke about SW characters is considered sexual harassment towards his costar??

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire and also like, again, there is a hypocrisy at play here because during this era there were PLENTY of reylos that would sexualize rey for their dark romance fantasies and openly talk about nsfw headcanons with each other. which is actually fine bec thats normal in fandom!

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire i dont think jenny should be cancelled or anything but bec she was a popular content creator, reylos had used her opinions as further fuel to call boyega a sex pest that was harrassing his costar and demanded him removed from SW projects

[throwaway @throwaway91101]

@mediocredreams @imperiumcarnis @ChronoClaire and then jenny inserted herself into the height of this incident, not even fact-checking half the statements being made against boyega (him being falsely accused of calling fans inbred when at most he called the people harassing him idiots)
