love the jedi to bits but uhhhh they and their teachings are not infallible and having characters question and contemplate those innate truths of the star wars universe does not mean you hate them!
#this isn’t a vague post or anything ive just been seeing a lot of this everywhere recently#and let’s not get it twisted i do love the jedi and the order#and the jedi order is very interesting and complex and there is often a bias within fandom that it is bad#and it’s not!!!#but it is also flawed as is everything#cause the order can be made up by a code and rules#but ultimately it is given life by people#who are inherently flawed because everyone is different and will go about things differently#the jedi were not created to be the perfect religion#like in their minds yes but also no ya know??#and having your characters have that opinion is not wrong of them#you are allowed to critique the good guys okay#think of ahsoka who was so failed by the jedi#there are a myriad of reasons why your characters can have these discussions about the order#it is not bashing!! it’s people being complex!!#like yeah sometimes it is and it’s blatant#but if a character questions the famous attachment rule#and has thoughts about it in a negative way#that doesn’t make it bashing#i just think it’s so much more interesting than having people blindly accept it without thinking ‘how does this apply to me?’#anyways i hate the constant ‘attachment rule’ discourse#and like how there always feels like a superiority complex on both sides#like it’s either good or bad#when i feel it’s in the middle and you need to find a balance in that (like with the force haha)#i fully understand the depth and complexity of it all#i just have feelings and am tired of people just generalizing all criticism as bashing#or people just having other options as bashing#like what made me pop off was seeing someone genuinely ask if a character even contemplating the attachment rule was bashing#anyways please don’t hate me i might delete this later#mj.chatter
