Yeah but those are heavily invested psychos. To the vast majority of people who just appreciate a competent Star Wars movie she was just fine

This is just wrong. Anyone who saw the previous movies would have noticed this. I've never read a single star wars novel yet I still noticed.

No... and it's not about gender.

I didn't like TFA when it came out, and I'm a big SW fan. I didn't like the First Order being a thing, I didn't like Leia hanging out in a camp instead of running the New Republic, I didn't like Han being a deadbeat bum. To me, this was not "competent", none of it fit with the narrative we all knew.
I didn't care for Han and Leia's kid idolizing Darth Vader (and not knowing he turned back at the end), that was stupid.

Rey being Force-sensitive was the least of my issues, at least with that film. The entire story was bad. The next movie was worse in many ways, but that doesn't make the first one "good".
