Okay, so there are some problems with the logic in this ask. Â
First off, âitâs covered more in the novelizationâ is notâŚrelevant. The novelization is not the main piece of media we see Kylo Ren in. You do not get a free copy of the novelization when you buy a ticket to see Star Wars. There should not be an expectation that âoh, itâs in the novelizationâ equals a character point. You can see that material as supplemental, as fanfic fodder, but you cannot give it the same credence as the films. Â
So this line bothers me: âNow, if we are to believe the Force Bond was set up by Snoke and he was responsible for linking their minds across the galaxy (I donât deny this at all), how is it too hard to consider that the same Snoke could enter young Benâs mind remotely in a similar fashion? And being unknown, millions of lightyears away, how would anyone be able to stop it?â Because itâs all supposition. Iâm not saying that Snoke DIDNâT groom and abuse young Benâs mind in a galaxy far far away, I am saying that we do not know concretely that is what happened. We do not know Kyloâs age when he sold his soul to Snoke. This is a great theory, but itâs not been concretely proven onscreen in front of us. This is something CS shippers do, they string things together that MIGHT be true and pretend itâs canon and get mad when people call them out for it. It drives me fucking nuts.
That being said, sure. I could conceivably accept Kylo Ren as a survivor of abuse from Snoke. ButâŚthe thing isâŚhe killed Snoke. Snoke is dead. We canât use Snoke as an excuse for Kyloâs bad behavior anymore. Kylo is responsible for his own actions and right now, his choice is to try and destroy my girl Rey because she didnât want to deal with his Dark Lord Bullshit any longer. Â
And againâŚsomeone elseâs abuse does not greenlight them to abuse others. If weâre buying that Kylo Ren was groomed and gaslit by Snoke, then guess what chuckleheads, he is now essentially trying to do to Rey what was done to him and that is fucked up. That is perpetuating the cycle of abuse, that is disgusting, and I will not tolerate it for someone as amazing as Rey. I will not allow us to romanticize that kind of gross shit because it is harmful as fuck. Â
