Unsurprisingly, I disagree.
Even if you put aside the fact that being a loner is an essential part of Rey's identity, Rey has profound connections with other characters developed and shown onscreen, not just to Kylo Ren (who she is literally "connected" to for the whole of TLJ) but also to Luke, Finn, BB-8, Chewy, Han and Leia. Especially Finn. Her connection to Finn is one of Finn's primary motivating factors. "Where's Rey?" is literally his first line in TLJ.
But whateves… like someone already said... everyone's mind is already made up on these topics and nobody is convincing anyone otherwise. I regard the "Mary Sue" critique of Rey to be an obvious double-standard, fueled mostly by sexism and/or clingy OT rose-coloured reverence/nostalgia. I haven't heard anything remotely persuasive to convince me otherwise.
Hell yeah, dude! I hate women. That must be it.
