When it’s been 3 years of constant fandom fights, hot takes, speculations, shipping nonsense, sexists and racists causing chaos, and you just want want IX to finish what TFA started so Star Wars can be fun again:
I want to be free of this trilogy
I just want it to not be a total trashfire so I can let it go and be at peace.
(cont from previous ask) + accepting their dynamic is pretty
horrible. kyl0 is a space nazi, he invaded r3y, etc. and while
acknowledging that, if you want to explore the dynamic offered in canon,
i think there’s nothing stopping you (plural.) it doesn’t mean you ship
r3yl0 as reylows ship it, which is romanticized, even fetishizied,
ignoring how r3y canonly hates kilo + all that. sorry, this got a bit
lengthy.
Yeah like… since when is depiction automatically endorsement? A major problem is that that reylow fandom itself is a trash fire and ship-critical content, I’m pretty sure, is considered ship-bashing and unwelcome in the tag. So basically neither the most vocal antis nor reylows have it through their heads that depiction=/=endorsement, for all the latter might protest to the contrary.
and I would now like you to remove all of my content from your blog as the words of bell hooks and other womanists are apparently to *nuanced* for you.
Done, I have removed the quote of bell hooks that I reblogged from you as kankqueero and your self-reblog of it as butchchadsidy. I can’t find anything else (other than this reblog chain that will go up), so if there’s any more that I’ve missed you’ll have to let me know.
Also, this goes out generally, Tumblr notes are being trash as ever and I can’t see and respond to all delete requests if they’re in reblogs as opposed to asks or messages. I had no idea there was an added comment in this reblog, I just clicked to see because the tag asking if I was secretly thesovereignempress was too good to pass up. If you put a delete request in a reblog and I have not answered, this is the reason so try my inbox or messages instead.
Think Joker and Harley for example. You know their toxic and that’s interesting concept to explore. So you role with just that. No AUs of WHAT IF Joker wasn’t abusive to Harley and relationship wasn’t toxic. That’s what LJ is doing with reylo which is fine. There’s no right or wrong way to ship things.
Now as for other antis reaction to this. Well they just don’t like people shipping reylo period critically or not. We seen how they act with just mulitpshippers alone or even people indifferent of the ship.
So yeah that’s mostly it, my stance I’m neutral on matter. If you agree fine if not fine. If you still unsure on the matter just do common thing block and keep it moving.
I’m still enough of an anti to think there is a wrong way to ship, or at least that you should take responsibility for what you say and create and are not free from criticism for it. You know, basic personal and creative responsibility stuff. But otherwise yeah, pretty much. Thanks for setting the record straight on your side of the fandom.
Since there’s no need to clutter up this blog with even more of the same I’ll put recent asks in this post under the cut. If you want to be answered in a separate post fucking work for it.
You just ramping up with the condescending tone with people, especially with the black fans who sent you ask – honestly you would have been better just shutting the fuck up and none of this would have happened if you werent so fucking vague with your answers
Your being unable to comprehend =/= me being vague. And nah, this is my blog and you don’t get to tell me to shut up. You’re free to stay the hell away if you don’t want to see me talk, yet here you are anyway. Here, let me help you out with that.
Some of you may be aware of the utter shitfire that my blog has become for the last day or so. You can read the post that first made the issue visible (link), and/or the one where I tried to clarify my stance (link) followed by a cliff notes version (link). There are also a bunch of other tiresome back-and-forths that have consumed this blog, if you have the time and fucks to give.
Given that some people are calling me a reylow now and have expressed discomfort at interacting with me, while others have given their support, at this point I’m a little uncertain who is comfortable with me following or reblogging from them and I don’t want to unwittingly cross anyone’s boundaries. So if you no longer want me interacting with you, please block me so there will be no misunderstanding or discomfort. Thank you.
On the same note, if you want posts and art of yours removed from my blog before you block, let me know. I generally won’t count posts where you are not the op (that is, posts where you are part of the reblog chain) as “yours,” so if you want those removed as well you’ll have to specify. I will decide on a case-by-case basis whether I will honor that request, depending on the size of your contribution to the thread.
I will delete everything I can find but due to the spotty nature of Tumblr search there may be things I miss, so it would be prudent to do your own search as well after I have given you the delete notice. And of course, if there are any previous URLs you’ll need to specify those as well.

It’s not like there was an entire elucidation of the different meanings of shipping right below, right? I have said exactly where I stand on each of those senses, so if anything it was the opposite of an evasion. If you can see me say I would abandon SW if reylow became canon, that I think it’s abusive and toxic, that their bs widdle woobie Ben Solo only exists to erase Finn, if you’ve seen me rail against reylows’ abuse apologism, war crimes apologism, misogyny, and racism for close to three years now and you still can’t trust me–then you won’t trust me no matter what. Simple as that.
Should have included a link in the op, but I was too busy laughing my ass off.
For extra laugh points see the fawning comments in the notes. Major, well-known fans still support her and believe she deserves forgiveness . It’s why I think she’ll be back, because time and time again she has shown she is unable to stay away from that psychological feed. She has, quite fittingly, chosen a section of fandom that validates and rewards toxic behavior and it’s perfect for her.
