In their defense, they get a lot of hate. The Celebration art showing featured a Reylo-ish piece (nothing explicit) and there was a ton of temper tantrums thrown over it. Like people who reblogged the link to the gallery got attacked for 'triggering' people with the reylo.

There was a big drama thing when a blog started a Kylux fandom event and then announced that only Reylo-free blogs would be allowed to join. So if you wanted to join you couldn't have ever reblogged anything Reylo related and had to prove you weren't a multishipper.

I suppose those are legitimate things to get angry about. Like I said, I don't dabble a bunch in the SW fandom so I probably missed all that, and none of the reylo secrets here ever mentioned it.

But most of the stuff I've seen reylo fans get upset over were extreamly tiny and/or obvious troll-bait jokes. I couldn't stop rolling my eyes after seeing a bunch of reylo fans scream and lose their minds over an obviously-written-by-a-troll five sentence fic of Rey throwing Kylo into a garbage can. Like...I don't doubt that they get shit. But they make such a big spectacle about it, I can't find myself to feel all that bad for them.

Also, some of them have a, "Kylo is just a misunderstood woobie!" attitude which I find dumb for various reasons.

SA - For a while there were also people who made fake accounts, insisted they were known people in the Lucasfilm storygroup like Pablo Hidalgo, and started harassing Reylo shippers saying how sick and disgusting they were. Which yes seems kind of ridiculously obvious trolling, but several anti blogs picked it up and kept up with the "See? The people in charge hate you and want you to leave fandom" narrative.

And this is just the things I've seen as someone who's NOT in TFA fandom, but I lurk in some other SW related fandoms.

It's not easy to say which came first, the OTT hate or the OTT victim complex. I personally saw the OTT hate first and I've actually been active in the fandom from the time the movie came out. And it was pretty damn disgraceful the way the haters were losing their shit about someone even mentioning the ship (and I say this as someone who really can't stand the ship either).

DA

And those are mild, non-triggery things that have been done by anti-Reylo people. I've never been in a fandom with antis before. It's...not a pleasant experience. Ship what you want (or don't ship, that's fine too!), but don't crap on other people for shipping.
