Ehhh...yes but probably mostly not for the reasons this secret is implying.

Like on the one hand, internet misogyny absolutely played a role in the Reylo backlash. 100%. It's the same brand that's always aimed at women who like things, and this was yet another convenient target.

But on the other hand, if Rey was a boy, it simply wouldn't have been the juggernaut it ended up being, so...of course there would be less backlash? It wouldn't have been canon, and it would have had as massive a mainstream response as it did, because that's how our heteronormative society works.

Not to mention, even if it was an exact 1:1, the racism issue between "sides" would still have played a role as well, which shouldn't be overlooked.

If fic statistics are anything to go by a huge majority of the top 100 ships are m/m, I'm pretty sure gay Reylo would've been up there.

AYRT In the fic-writing part of fandom, sure. We have statistics for that from Kylux alone. But the greater movie-watching mainstream masses that do vastly prefer m/f and guide most of media's direction? Not so much.

It still would have been wank. More limited in scope but I don't think it would have been less intense.
