I agree with your thoughts on the matter.

The bigger issue imo is that the internet marginalizes many differing viewpoints that end up resembling echo chambers for like minded individuals.

They perform a nice feedback loop that doesn’t accept other opinions very well.

With that being said, I think TLJ activated the most vitriolic segments of that echo-chamber that are relatively smaller in number to general fans but are much louder. This includes the “mary sue” segment, the SJW segment etc.
