How can you say this when Kanan and Hera, Cal and Merrin and Han and Leia exist

[brotherskywalker]

Sure did think this was a bit of R*ylo trash that somehow got through my filters, but no... it's a poster telling you signs of domestic abuse, which is what R*ylo is. So, that's apt, I guess.

I know it’s been a while since I ranted about Reylo but I find so funny is how the Reylos killed their own fandom and now they have nothing.

And to be honest, I don’t think I would have hated Reylo so much had the fans had been decent people. Like if you’re going to ship something problematic, just admit that it is and don’t be surprised if some people don’t like it.

But Reylos had to be extra. They had to be racist as hell as well as annoying. They were so annoying that various people who work for Lucasfilm went private. They spammed Tumblr tags constantly! Also, on Twitter they went around, commenting on any and all Star Wars tweets with #SaveBenSolo.

And now they don’t have anything. There is no way in hell Disney is going to make another movie related to the new trilogy and I doubt they’ll make any other media related to it either. All that work at being the worst part of the Star Wars fandom and they nothing.

When you see a post about a ship you don't like:

[pumpkinpie59]

for the record i’d rather cut my tongue out than acknowledge rey//lo as a canon star wars couple

they are not. he is dead. she CANONICALLY only kissed him as a thank you. he was manipulative and abusive toward her. there was no romance. periodt.

Adam Anti Reylo Driver giving me yet another reason to love him. 🥰

[phoenixwrites]

This is genuinely one of the reasons I HATED Reylo. Finn was set up to be Rey’s romance. And then fucking Rian Johnson changed it. I am still so bitter about that.

This is not directed towards Reylo fanfic writers who are lovely and getting well-deserved publishing deals this is simply a frustration I felt towards the trilogy as a whole.

Because I like to suffer apparently, I did spend this morning looking through fun tweets and posts like this:

It’s hilarious that folks who made jokes like the ones below, were so comfortable calling this man a predator, because apparently talking about two characters banging is only misogynistic when it doesn’t involve your ship.

For whatever it’s worth calling someone you like or admire a king or queen is pretty typical in AAVE, but sure bust out that armchair psychology. The Black man would only respond positively to praise out of sociopathy or narcissism. Because no celeb on social media ever likes a compliment.

But the most depressing part was this was the attitude I’ve seen over and over again that boils down to the idea that Black actors just needing to shut up, smile, never defend themselves, and know their place:

I’m exhausted reading through this nonsense so I can’t imagine living through it. I don’t blame John Boyega for losing patience with these people.

[sith-as-heck]

I feel like the ven diagram of people who ship/shipped Dramione and those who ship/shipped Reylo is a circle.

If Filoni's use of the World Between Worlds causes a R*ylo resurgence, I'm hunting him for sport.

[positively--speculative]

Laughing at the notes in that Shrek post because it's like @rootbeergoddess said--if Reylos just acted normal about their ship instead of getting mad at everyone that rightfully reads it as abusive, no one would even pay them any mind.

I reblog Loustat gifs ffs and no one has given me shit for it.

Reasons why I don’t really ship Reylo anymore.

I know that is how I got followers a few years ago but here are my reasons in a randomized bulleted list: 

The hate from other star wars fans.

Most of the Reylo’s from tumblr left during the porn ban and went to twitter where they really showed off their toxicity. 

I stayed on Reylo twitter for too long and the toxicity ruined it for me. 

I lost interest in Star Wars.

Everyone was into dark fics and I was not. 

Some shippers hate Rey -- Why are you hating the other half of your ship wtf?

Some members of the fandom are ultra mega conservative and brought up their politics all the time. Then they complained about losing followers. Like bro look at yourself for a sec. 

It’s an overglorified Adam Driver fandom.

Got very annoying after TROS. Yeah that movie is bad but not unwatachable. 

Refused to admit characters are dead. 

Didn’t want Rey to move on. Like have you ever met a widow or something? Let her move on. 

The fandom got way too big too fast.

Got too mad about antis. I am unfortunately guilty of this. Sorry to those who saw it. 

Said the torture scene in TFA didn’t have rapey undertones. Yes, it does. I joined the fandom after TLJ and refused to read anything involving that scene and interpreting it as romantic. 

The throne room scene being a metaphor for sex. What? It’s just a cool fight scene calm down. 

I found the Ben Swolo scene funny and I got hate for it.

The same “hot takes” were repeated over and over again. 

Getting outraged over the clearly fake Reylo bathroom story. 

I may think of more later but yeah. I’m going to stay in my own Reylo bubble and ignore everything else. If you followed me after I left the fandom I’m sorry to put this on your dash. 

[fantastic-nonsense]

reylos crying on twitter because Adam Driver explicitly confirmed that Bendemption was never originally in the plans for Kylo....this is justice for the last 8 years, actually
