When Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out, the fandom found itself dividing across one really hard, bright line: the Reylos and the anti-Reylos.
2018, Kristina Busse, "Afterword: Fannish Affect and Its Aftermath", in Everybody Hurts: Transitions, Endings, and Resurrections in Fan Cultures (ed. Rebecca Williams), page 217:
Anti-Reylos read the pairing's on-screen encounters as rape, and they point out the age difference and potential familial relationship.
2019, Lauren Rouse, "The fan fiction reading guide: the use of multimedia and comments as close reading tools", thesis submitted to DePaul University, page 96:
This also means that there are significant clashes between Reylo shippers and anti-Reylos.
And with the Reylos, rose the Anti-Reylos who argued that the ship was indicative of racism and perpetuated abusive relationship tropes.
2022, Elena Maris & Nancy Baym, "Community Rankings and Affective Discipline: The Case of Fandometrics", in New Perspectives in Critical Data: Studies The Ambivalences of Data Power (eds. Andreas Hepp, Juliane Jarke, & Leif Kramp), page 331 (open-access book):
One Reylo shipper wrote a post saying “My aesthetic”: followed by images of ants representing anti-Reylo posters, continuing, “tagging their hate as ‘reylo’ and unknowingly making the ship go higher in the fandometrics.”
