Re: One of my favorite published authors wrote Reylo fic

(Anonymous) 2017-12-29 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like Reylo and I generally like a lot of hero/villain ships. Most of my dislike is from the exposure the ship has had everywhere. You can't talk about TLJ without Reylo being mentioned. There are a lot of Youtube reviewers who are into it and gush about it. If you search for it on the news section in google, a significant amount of articles have been written about it saying it's the best/most realistic romance in Star Wars ever which I don't see, since I never got anything romantic out of their interactions. Mostly didn't see how it was a canon ship when Rey did not seem into him at all.

Perhaps the extra exposure is what is getting people. Also I think there is a tendency to victimize Kylo Ren and people either love his character or hate him. It's possible having a character who has created such division among fans be put with one of the fan favorites is a big chunk of the problem as well.

Mostly, I avoid the fandom though, because my main reason for not shipping Reylo is I just don't see it. I do think it has abusive aspects to it but I think that you can get around that stuff using fanfiction. I certainly have. Also the anti-Reylos are, in general, anti-TLJ and I find some of their reasons to be a bit ridiculous tbh.
