I thought it was reasonable to say I didnt consider myself a reylo even though I like the ship, because I'm first & foremost a Star Wars fan since its been my life for 13 years and reylo was just one small part

But if you guys are gonna make me choose I choose reylo

I'm a reylo
If you want me to choose between my female friends and a corporation, I choose my reylo friends

If you want me to choose between the assholes who harass any fans who aren't white males and a group of fans who are genuinely sweet and supportive, I choose reylo fans
If you want me to choose between a movie that celebrates women and a movie that puts them down, I choose The Last Jedi and the reylos who helped me appreciate it and to appreciate myself in the process
If you want me to choose between big podcasters in the fandom who have been here as long as me or longer who I've been friends with for years, and small fans who are even more generous, passionate, and giving, I choose those reylo fans
If you want me to choose between being a "real fan" of Star Wars and being a decent human being, I choose reylo

There are certainly good fans who aren't reylos but that's really not the point right now
Reylos have been accepting

Reylos have been supportive

Reylos have been the best community I've ever been a part of
And even though I hate labels and refuse to even tie myself to a political party or give a name to my gender fluidity I've gotten to the point where I label myself a reylo

Bc at this point it's a pointless distinction when I'm defending myself for liking the canon ship every day
If anyone has a problem with any of this you can unfollow me right now

We should just all be able to be fans but that's not how this works so I'm choosing a side.

These women are my closest friends and I am honored to have gotten to enjoy fandom with them over the last year.
And I DARE you to put this on your page @ShitReylosSay because this is RIDICULOUS. this is a HOBBY and a COMMUNITY that is not hurting ANYBODY. and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for continuing to act like children

Fucking try me
