Hooray for the creation of this new forum but I am super bummed that it is even necessary...honestly taken aback by how the first thread was treated. Shouldn't mods be impartial about the topics discussed? Sure, it's inevitable somewhat that the occasional message will be on a tangent, but the majority of it was well thought out, based on stuff we'd noticed in the movie and was respectful of other characters/fandoms. I also got the feeling that a lot of it was coming from something of a sexist place...like we are all just silly shippers who think AD is hot. We did not imagine Reylo! That's certainly how it comes across to me. There seems to be an impression that Reylo shippers ship Reylo because Twilight, because 50 Shades of Grey, because "bad boys" are sexy and disturbed women like us send love letters to serial killers in prison, and nothing we do or say can change that impression. Nothing we say, none of our complex analyses, our hopes for redemption, or waxing poetic about the exciting and empowering aspects of the Reylo dynamic, etc. gets through that brick wall. I've noticed it so many times already. They don't just misunderstand our point of view; they refuse to accept it. They've categorised us as silly women who swoon over bad boys, and they don't want to consider the possibility that we might have any real point beyond that blind love for bad boys. The intelligent analysis probably drives them nuts because it flies in the face of that categorisation. I don't know where they think male Reylo shippers fit in. (Not to mention that even if the appeal of Reylo isn't dark romance, it seems odd to compare those who genuinely do enjoy dark romance to crazy women who send love letters to serial killers. To say nothing of Twilight. Yeah, the central dynamic of Twilight was a bit off in my opinion, but it was a hugely popular series for teenagers. It wasn't torture porn or anything genuinely disturbing: it was just a fantasy YA series about sparkly vampires. The moral panic about it being dangerous to young girls' imaginations is so hilarious to me.)

I couldn't agree more. It's almost starting to look like they have a new anti-Reylo policy over there?! Probably it's just that the anti-Reylo sentiment feeds itself and those mods are emboldened to say what they think because others are doing so too - a domino effect, if you will. But it does suspiciously look like they have some kind of "official sanction" now, i.e. the mods must have discussed the matter behind the scenes and decided that it would be best to get rid of the embarrassment that is Reylo. (I was the one who called the Reylo thread the "embarrassing stepsister", by the way They probably feel like the whole thing leaves a stain on their idea of Star Wars geekdom. Though judging by the redemption discussions, it's amazing how many of these SW fans seem to have very bizarre ideas about the spirit of Star Wars. I often feel like we haven't been watching the same saga at all.)

I'd guess half and half, but perhaps it was mu own bias and the threads I stuck to.

Ok, well then it's really strange. Its most likely the spike of reporting that was going on just eventually pissed all the mods off. Im trying to just ignore when people bait us, even when the mods do it because at the end of the day, they arent some supreme amazing leaders, they are just people who also will have their own opinions and some find it harder to be impartial than others.
Its no excuse for the snarky, nasty baiting comments coming from some of them though. I really hope this happens more and then people start to complain on mass about it because this should not be happening.
Mods are supposed to lead by example, not go against their own rules.
