Back in August 2018, EK Johnston, writer of Ashoka and Star Wars Queen’s Shadow, committed the cardinal sin of criticizing the object of Reylo desire, Kylo Ren.
Reylo Family, here are the unfortunate opinions of the author of the novel Queen’s Shadow, E.K. Johnston. This book will NEVER be part of my library 👎#reylo #saveBenSolo #StarWars pic.twitter.com/4lPv8pxXqP

I’m a bit confused by Johnston’s statement.
Am I to understand, that EK Johnston thinks the Darth Vader and Kylo Ren characters have led to a casual unconcerned view of burgeoning if imaginary fascism, because of the “fun” in Lucasfilm’s comic books and merchandising?
Is that the point she’s expressing here? Why would she choose to write for Star Wars then? Wouldn’t she be contributing to that burgeoning if imaginary fascism through her own writing then?

EK Johnston better hope this cosplayer isn’t a scorned Reylo.
But some Reylos were not concerned with such things. Their focus was on the way Ms. Johnston maligned their unrequited love.
This thread from EK Johnston is really disappointing. Padme’s experience in politics is a great topic and would love to find out more from her pov. But now I don’t want to know what she would feel about her future husband and grandson. I would hope compassion and love

Well, I was actually consider getting this book despite not being a big Padmé fan. But now I won’t- and it’s not because I want to “punish” the author for something she wrote on twitter- it’s because now I doubt she gets what SW even is about. Shame. pic.twitter.com/QOMY4vjnBY

Same here – I wasn’t excited like others but thought it might be interesting, especially that I’m relatively new to SW fandom. Now I’m sure I won’t buy this book cos I don’t believe a person saying such things understands what this franchise is all about.

This woman: what if the merchandising and romanticising of facist allegories in media is allowing real life FACISTS to make a swift return…food for thought

Here’s the deal, when you write for a franchise, it’s probably best not to bite the hand that feeds you. This is the quickest way to not have another contracted novel that is story group approved. pic.twitter.com/Qt384Ctuk9

Well What Girl, human claxon Geek Girl Diva will tell you that you’re a bad customer. Or that you’re not even a customer at all.
Well her now-deleted tweets taking potshots at other works, merchandising and fans did not paint her in a play nice in the sandbox good light. I was very disappointed in the behavior. Not professional.

Yes, it appears that EK Johnston was wise enough to scrub her twitter feed.
She thinks Reylo is a “Nazi romance” 🤬. Do these people actually know litterature and mythology? Are they able to understand psychology? I guess they aren’t, it’s sad if they are authors.

omg really!!!!??? thats so unfortunate! i mean we arr all free to think whatever we want , but isn’t it correct to say things like that when you are working for the franchise? …..

Gross.
Thanks for the heads up. There are already so many books I want to read. I’ll pass on this one.— Luna Née Ahazi *Cipher_9* 🌊 (@LunaNee) August 6, 2018
Oh, this is upseting…

Whatever happened to professionalism? Maybe the writer can learn to separate personal feelings from work? Not everything is a crusade.

Can she be fired?🧐

The folks at Reddit had fun watching this happen.
But where were all the ultra-concerned writers in the legacy media?
Where was Bryan Young and the rest of the Wack Pack, to call these Reylos out for their toxic behavior? For their harassment of creators? Why weren’t they calling these particular Reylos sexist and/or misogynistic since the female author, EK Johnston, wrote about two prominent female characters? Why didn’t Pablo Hidalgo make snide cryptic remarks about these particular Reylos? Were they all just sleeping on the job? Where are all the endless articles?
Oh, the humanity.
Now, I want to be clear, I am not criticizing all Reylos. I am only criticizing the toxic Reylos who are actually sexist and/or misogynist. Sound familiar?
Thanks to Mr. Roboto for the tip.
Beautiful. The very definition of “No bad tactics, only bad targets”- in other words “It’s OK when WE call for understanding the franchise/ firings / professionalism / boycotts.”
The fact that EK Johnston is female mysteriously, suddenly, seems irrelevant. My, how shocking!
SJWs have NO self awareness, no shame, and it’s angering reading those tweets brazenly stating the things they call us “chilling” for saying.

Well I have to admit that Di$ney War$ makes me want to vomit!
But I love it when the proglodytes devour their own!
I just grab me some popcorn and watch the limp wristed hand slapping to begin…
And damn the whole, “Hurr durr NAZI Derpity derp” crap is getting old and tired. They whine about Nazis, while at the same time wanting to be under the boot of commie oppression! They love to pretend they are some sort of “revolution” but unless that revolution has soy, gender neutral bathrooms, skinny jeans, etc., their “revolution” is pretty much DOA! And they can’t be too much of a revolutionary when they are deathly afraid of firearms, because they look mean and scary! LOL
I guess they will just yell, ‘SHAME” a thousand times! Yeah that will show all those make believe non-existent “Nazis!”
You go girlfriend…

Nazis is a deragatory term that was created by some Jewish social-democrat.These people dont know what national-socialism is.Comparison of FO/Empire to NSDAP is absurd.Because one of the main tenets was a creation of a GREATER GERMANIC REICH and Lebensraum.Italian fascism is a more complex ideology ,but a little was implemented in practice.
Some French movements.Japanese Empire in 1940-1945 is a closely resembled fascism.

Communism/socialism in a marxist sense never existed-

These ” Reylos” are really stupid. Storywise, Rey just watched as he killed his father and she called him a monster but she is supposed to be liking the guy in the next movie? Doesn’t work, and makes Rey look very weak willed.
