As someone who is deeply into the Star Wars franchise and is not a Reylo: if people liked Reylo because "enemies to lovers, good girl redeeming bad boy," then why the FUCK did so many Reylos spend so much time insisting that Kylo was a pure cinnamon roll who'd never done anything wrong and Finn was the evil abuser?

I'm not joking. That was a constant in the ST heydey. Reylos would come into other Star Wars spaces and attack Finn as evil while switching Finn and Kylo's plot points. Finn holding Rey's hand as they're trying to escape the Imperial attack on Jakku? Proof he's evil and a rapist because he was "forcing" himself on Rey. Kylo kidnapping Rey to torture her on Takodana? Proof that he's the romantic hero--he was saving her from Finn, and the fact that he was carrying her is PROOF that it was romantic because obviously romances are the only stories that have tropes where men carry women!

Reylo circles are and were huge, and the people who ship Reylo are varied. But my interest in the ship was killed fairly early on by how vicious Reylos could be to anyone who didn't agree with them, and how much racist crap a lot of Reylos dumped on Finn fans in particular and SW fans of color in general. (And how willing the general Reylo fandom was to cover for and excuse the outright racist attacks some of their group regularly made.)

And anybody who pointed this out was accused of "squee harshing."
