"Such hate is not uncommon within the Star Wars community. Star Wars actors John Boyega and Moses Ingram received racist attacks, as did The Last Jedi star Kelly Marie Tran, and few could forget the vitriol hurled toward Ahmed Best for his much-maligned character Jar Jar Binks"
Attacking real life people isn't the personal same thing as hating on a fictional character.
Star Wars: Daisy Ridley Has Some Thoughts On The Hate Rey Gets From Fans
"Anakin Skywalker's gifts were accepted because he was the chosen one, and fans attributed Luke Skywalker's ability to master the Force with little training to his lineage. Rey, on the other hand, was not afforded this benefit and received hate for reasons that could also apply to the Skywalkers."
This isn't correct. Anakin had no unique abiliites and neither did Luke. Anakin trained for ten years before the movies developed Anakin doing any direct ability (his piloting skills may be attributed to his force sensitivity as Qui-Gon suggests, but Rey's piloting skills aren't the real issue with her character being OP, though Anakin still was forced to pilot in the pod races by Watto as his mom said in TPM, so he still had experience in spite of his age, and his destruction of the trade federation control ship was entirely by accident on his part, as he tried to fire upon droids and inadvertently hit something important) and he lost almost every main lightsaber duel he fought in in the movies (2 out of 3 he lost, losing to Dooku and Obi-Wan, though beating Dooku in ROTS, Obi-Wan lost less, in an average of 2 out of 5). Luke after a little training could only focus to hit a hole in the death star with the torpedo and pull a lightsaber to him and that's it. Rey had no training at all and used mind trick, pulling a lightsaber to her and then she beats a trained dark sider (some may argue he was shot in the side, but that ignores that he's in healthy condition enough to twirl his saber and fight, and also ignores that Rey is injured too, being hurled through the air into a tree and knocked unconscious). Anakin had alot of training before he did anything of power. Luke had a little while doing a couple things and even after getting more training he still was beaten by Vader.
To compare them to Rey, I think is not actually connecting to what happens in the movies or to the characters in them.
