To the people saying Rey was portrayed as Asexual in TFA and that’s why Reylo is a bad ship, or due to general “toxicity”:
Uhhhh, no. No she wasn’t. Not that there’s anything wrong with asexuality. Just that Rey is not (and would be a poor example of what it’s like to be) asexual. She was portrayed as someone *not* romantically/sexually interested in Finn— who really only wanted her to be his Manic Pixie Dream Girl and shake up his new, exciting, not-part-of-the-FO life.
And at least Finn had the wherewithal to back off eventually and learn to love her as a friend.
She was just a woman who wasn’t romantically attracted to anyone around her at the moment.
Believe it or not— it’s not a womans job to be attracted to the men around her.
And what’s more? So what if she’s attracted to Kylo/Ben?
LOOK: a man who she is connected with in an intimate way, who she communicates with heart to heart in a real, honest, and vulnerable manner. And wit da tiddies. That’s what people WANT IN A FREAKIN PARTNER!! Emotional connection+ physical attraction+ open communication
Girls don’t like “bad boys” because girls are bad at decision-making, they like men who are vulnerable and in touch with their emotions. That tends to be the guy with the rough past.
And guess what? That’s not toxic.
Rey DIDN’T hop into a romantic relationship with Kylo who wasn’t emotionally ready for one.
She cares (read: loves) him enough to support him on his journey without getting dragged down by it.
And Ben Solo sees her, and knows her, and yeah— he cares for (read: loves) her (if you didn’t pick up on that then you didn’t watch TLJ AT ALL).
It’s not toxic. Heck, it’s actually pretty damn healthy.
And even if it was a “toxic” ship? SO FREAKIN WHAT??
Enemies to Lovers is a trope and always will be, because it’s a vehicle to understand conflict management.
It is a VALUABLE and important literary avenue to explore for how two people can reach an understanding.
Plus, conflict can be hot as hell— it requires two equals to exist! Other wise there’s just one party constantly overpowering the other.
