Had a temper tantrum.
You're wrong tbh.
Also, Syndicate, that's incredibly racist. You're reported.
You don't see it, do you? It's being pushed to the forefront in arguments as to why Ren lost. People aren't just plainly referencing her gender. They're like, "Kylo lost to an untrained girl?!?!1"
Also, I sincerely doubt when individuals bring it up in such a manner and casually call Finn a "cotton picker", it's harmless.
It's like when someone says, "This black guy punched me" or "They helped me and they were girls!"
It's unnecessary and has no business being brought up because it isn't relevant. At all. If you're trying to identify a perk or something? Yeah, it makes sense to use describing factors. In this case, it doesn't. "Oh, she is a girl." Yeah, everyone knows and the people mentioning know that WE know she's a girl. It leaves little room to wonder whether it's being brought for a different reason, such as people's inability to comprehend that a woman could defeat a guy.
Originally posted by FreshestSliceLol nobody ever brings up "boy" though, just like nobody ever brings up "white guy", it's ingrained in western culture to define everyone by the Caucasian male norm, no harm in admitting it, and I'm sure it was just instinctive on Trucelent's part.
😐She...she is an untrained girl. That's like saying every time someone brings up boy, their gender is what's more important than them being a teenager with no training. The point is she's young and inexperienced. Duh.

Spot on.
With the second portion of your post, "instinct" isn't usually a reliable excuse for it, though. If he is a teenager, I could understand. Adults should not be saying such absurdities.
(Also, meant to type "perp" and not "perk" in that last response.)

She is force untrained, but she is melee experienced.
