Dark Lord of the Sad

(i’m not a vader stan for the record so my opinions miiiiight be off)

I mean I wouldn’t say you’re wrong (you’re not), but I still think there’s one big difference between vader stans and kylo stans (if you set aside the fact that vader is better written and more sympathetic and all that stuff + the rape parallell + the racism):

Kylo stans usually make him out to be some innocent teenager who had no agency or ownership in what he’s done, or a handsome tragic anti hero, or the future spouse of rey/poe/whomever. He’s none of those things. He’s a fascist who chose that path because he grew up idolising fascists and because he felt like it. So far he’s rejected not one but two chances at redemption offered to him by main characters in the series. (No matter where you stand on the “did Vader actually get fully redeemed?” question, at least Vader took his chance at redemption). 

I very rarely see vader stans act like that. it happens sometimes, of course, but most vader fans acknowledge that he is a villain. He’s definitely evil, there’s no argument about that. No one’s shipping him with Han Solo and arguing that it’s not actually Vader’s fault he’s a mass murderer. Yeah, some people cheer him on in rogue one, for being an actually scary villain who has some damn cool scenes and lines, but it’s not cheering him on as a human being, or twisting the narrative to make it seem like he’s actually in the right. They’re rooting for him because “be careful not to choke on your aspirations, director” is a damn good line, not because they think he’s actually the good guy somehow.
