I’m guessing the Star Wars subreddit is predominantly male teenagers, but it sort of boggles my mind how people are just boxing in anyone who likes Reylo as the creepy fans who want Adam Driver to cheat on his wife with Daisy, or want Kylo to just be abusive to Rey. Most people who like that aren’t crazy people.

I just don’t think people get why it appeals to people, or how it is a common fantasy trope. But people look at Star Wars through a modern real-world lens and they can’t help it, I guess.

EDIT: I do think it sucks in a way that John can’t really make comments like a regular fan without being a spokesperson for the whole community. If a regular fan had said that most would just ignore it. I can understand why John responded to some angry fans, but now everyone sees it as John vs all the Reylos. Just because people like the Ben and Rey dynamic doesn’t mean they all hate John or some shit. Jesus Christ, enough internet for today.
