The person who started the whole thing with Boyega was a sock who pretends to be a female reylo fan to start shit, apparently. They’re on their third account now still trying to start shit, obviously Reylos in general don’t support that behavior. Also, a lot of Reylos are in fact women of color, so calling Reylos racist is really hypocritical and generalizing. They’re putting a whole group of fans in a bottle and saying they’re toxic.
I’m not saying all Reylos are racist, just some of them are. I’m not saying all Reylos are toxic, just a lot of them are. Obviously there are some really good Reylos out there, but most of the community is really toxic from my experience. And it wasn’t just that one guy saying racist things, a lot of Reylos were swarming his account saying some really nasty things to him.
Not saying they’re not Reylos who say bad shit but I feel like they’re a scapegoat for both alt-right trolls (like that white supremacist guy who openly encourages John Boyega and antis to keep messing with Reylos), and the crazy cancel culture people on the left. “If I think it’s problematic, no one is allowed to like it.”
I’m not radical right or radical left, I’m very much moderate, and I still don’t like Reylo. I feel like a lot of Reylos are hiding behind the gender card, saying anti-Reylos are part of society’s systematic discrimination of women, When in reality most anti-Reylos are also women.
