I know anecdotes aren't good evidence but I've probably talked to 15-20 different people about TLJ, and after the initial excitement of first viewings, basically everyone's opinion has settled into the range between "meh" and "that sucked my lightsaber". you can even feel it in the cultural impact, TFA spawned a whole lot more references and memes, while I can't remember anyone using a TLJ clip for anything these days.
anyways, I doubt that very loud, very vocal minority was responsible for the $700 million box office drop from Ep 7 to 8. that's a bit tougher to explain away with accusations of nerds, misogynists and racists.
