Maybe "journalism" should consist of more than reporting "someone posted something on social media, and that's interesting, just because."

A little critical thinking in this case, and a general awareness that physical looks are such a small part of the appeal of the Rey character, would go a long way to determining the "shamers" are just typical look-at-me morons who are desperate for attention they don't deserve.

Was Peaches Geldof a real woman?

 

Slowly back away from the Star Wars fans without drawing attention to yourself and run away as far as you can. Live your life happily outside their bubble.
