I’ve gotta say, while reylows are being tiresome as usual I am loving how fragile and salty they are about Finn and Poe’s prominence in the released or leaked material for IX. Poe had better not touch the Falcon or Rey! This isn’t an important scene because Kyle Ron isn’t in them! The outfit means Poe is actually Gaston! Poe is the true villain and extremist!

I love watching them shoveling racist bullshit over their terror that Finn and Poe are the actual leads and not their white fave. The smell may be awful, but it’s entertaining to watch them scurry in fear.

Translation: It can’t be a super-important scene if characters of color are central to the action and also I need to soothe my fear that my mass murdering patricidal fave is not in fact the male lead of the franchise.

Oh wait

Look who else these idiots are comparing to Gaston.

i sent the anon about searching poe and falcon and i apparently have that person blocked because i didn’t see that one about rey being kylo’s property, jesus christ. at this point i won’t accept any ending that doesn’t involve kylo dying because these people do not deserve to be validated in any universe.

I’ve always said death is too good for him but I won’t cry if he dies, either.

i searched poe and falcon on twitter for shits and giggles and the reylows are already furious that he’s piloting han’s ship, i love it. everything they want for kylo (kylo/leia moments and kylo to pilot the falcon) is going to poe instead ahhhh. they’re mad on tumblr too: reylopartytumblrcom/post/177326341588/me-if-theres-a-scene-where-pho-dangmoron-flies

Ben’s belongings? Ben’s … belongings?

I was blissfully oblivious to the whole A/b/o thing until I accidentally stumbled onto a rebelcaptain A/b/o fic. I started reading it and then I was like what the actual fuck is this?? It wasn’t anywhere near as bad as that reylow one seems thank goodness but it was still very weird. And I certainly have no desire to read anymore A/b/o fic ever again that’s for sure. And I learned that if I don’t know what a tag means I need to google it before I read because yikes….

Yeah it’s… really not for those who aren’t into it. The couple of A/B/O prequel-era fics I read out of curiosity still haunt me.

Why do Kale Ron stans/reylows froth at the mouth for Rey to be Kyle’s literal possession? Most of them are white straight women! Why do you hate yourselves so much? Love yourselves, ladies, not Kernel Runt!

Here’s one article that points out that white women benefit from perpetuating white patriarchy (link). I think it’s a reflection of a deeply cynical bargain that many white women have struck. They may be disempowered and mistreated by primarily white men, but by validating that power structure as good and right they gain status as being worth protection and love, and are given power over those more marginalized (link). It’s not just white women either, but nonwhite women in racial majorities such as Koreans, too. It’s been pointed out that Reylow is a lot like the misogynistic dynamics of K-Dramas, for instance, a genre that thrives on the viewership of Korean women.

Is it possible to report that fic for racism?

Nah, AO3 doesn’t have a policy against racist content. They’re the “anything goes” site, basically. They don’t offer blocking by default either, but there are third-party utilities that might help (link).
