order 66 was NOT a genocide. you can only genocide people & cultures, you can’t genocide a systemically deified super-religion that wants everyone in existence to either agree with them & exist their way or burn in hell for eternity. any decent ppl who went down with the purge forfeit their lives down the drain along with their family, home & very sense of self. they. had. it. fucking. coming.
from an indigenous person, fuck y’all for even comparing order 66 to genocide & talking all over survivors of real genocides to save face for your evangelical faith & the people you think are good guys. you are not about to disrespect the continent-sized OCEANS of blood that make up our ancestors & loved ones who were lost to real genocide. fuck off.

even lucas can get things wrong. he's good with broad concepts that can evolve and be refined on, but he sucks ass at writing & when he gets something wrong, he gets it royally wrong. trying to force the jedi's worldview on everyone was one of those mistakes & even he acknowledges it. he even loves the acolyte and says its everything he could have hoped for and more. your own guy, who's own farts & old takes you suck up like air, sang praise of the Acolyte for how it shows everything we've ever known about star wars but from a point of view that isn't shoving jedi propaganda down the viewer's throat. sith may have their flaws as a group too but at least they value autonomy & self-empowerment. jedi are like fundamentalist christians who preach about how bad hate is while simultaneously despising anything that exists differently than them & justify committing atrocities to them with "well they were dark and bad so they deserved to die". at least they're not thought police who were systemically dominant for the better have of forever & subsequently got a free pass to either slaughter or brainwash anyone who doesn't agree with them.
a person considered "dark" and "evil" who values common decency & autonomy and channels their "darkness" into positive change that benefits them and their loved ones will always be a better person than someone considered "holy" and "righteous" who uses their platitudes of goodwill to justify the genocide of anyone they deem wrong & unnatural, kidnaps & brainwashes the children of the cultures they trample, & then throw those away those same children the moment they disagree with the jedi. ur colonizer is showing
"The idea of it..."
Tumblr media
This is obviously a reference to the ol' argument:
"The Jedi weren't bad but the Jedi Order as an institution needed to go."
So as a quick reminder I thought I'd point out:
1) George Lucas describes the Jedi's eradication as a sad thing, not something sad-but-necessary:
"[The] Jedi getting killed through the Order 66 of the clones is just done as one of those kind of inevitable pay offs in terms of getting rid of everybody, the Emperor is getting rid of all his enemies, but there’s a certain inevitability of it all and a sadness to it.  - Revenge of the Sith, Director’s Commentary, 2005
2) Out of 770 George Lucas quotes, I've never seen him refer to the Jedi Order as "an institution" once.
He does refer to the Republic itself as an institution.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"[In The Phantom Menace one of the many storylines is] the story of a young queen who's faced with the total annihilation of a people, and how she can get a sluggish political institution to pay attention to what's going on." - Premiere, 1999
He might be referring to the Senate instead of the Republic as a whole, but the point stands: he's not talking about the Jedi.
Which tracks with what Lucas defined as Dooku's reason for leaving the Order: his disenchantment with the Republic/Senate, not the Jedi themselves.
But let's go slightly further:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Jedi Temple was designed as a place of worship that would contrast with the corporate coldness of the Senate.
Tumblr media
Also, the Jedi were originally designed as a more organized police force. As the script evolved, they were turned into peacekeepers, diplomats.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mace's room was redesigned so as to not convey that the Jedi were mired in bureaucracy and protocol.
And when describing the political situation of the Prequels, Lucas doesn't blame the Jedi, but rather the corporations and Senate:
"But as often happens when wealth and power grow beyond all reasonable proportion, an evil fueled by greed arose. The massive organs of commerce mushroomed in power, the Senate became corrupt, and an ambitious named Palpatine was voted Supreme Chancellor." - Shatterpoint, Prologue, 2004
Wow, it's looking like not only is the "Jedi Order as an institution needed to go" narrative not a thing per Lucas, but
3) Lucas went out of his way to make it clear that the Jedi aren't the issue, here, the Republic/Senate is.
So how did we get this narrative?
Well, it comes from a generation of fans and Star Wars creators who were not the target audience.
You know the type. It's the kind who, when asked if they like the Prequel Trilogy, will respond that they liked...
Tumblr media
... but not the execution.
AKA they disliked the Prequels, but then EU books and The Clone Wars came out and provided them with enough material to form a headcanon justifying why they didn't like the Jedi, despite wanting to: it's because the Jedi are meant to be disliked! Totally!
The Jedi failed as an institution is an idea that comes from authors who wanted to engage with the material (it IS Star Wars, after all) but not the narrative that George Lucas had crafted, whose work then influenced older fans who preferred the author's retconned version of the story to the original one.
The rest is history.
As Prequels producer Rick McCallum put it:
"The myth begins on paper. During preproduction, filming, and postproduction, the myth becomes visible through the work of hundreds of dedicated people. Following the film's release, the myth becomes public and the public makes it its own." - Rick McCallum, Mythmaking: Behind the Scenes of Attack of the Clones, 2002

I told y'all about Jay the BibleThumper, and I swear that for the most part he's an alright dude when he's not trying to convert me to a religion that I've already decided wasn't for me.
He was telling me about a dude that he used to work with that makes me realize that he could be... so much worse.
They were carpooling from one town to the next and the other dude was on a dating app and he says:
"Now that's a mix I can get my hands on."
Shocked at the statement, Jay says- "What?"
Which he says... again... with no change in inflection.
"What are you implying?"
"I'm against interracial marriage- the bible is against it."
"It absolutely is not."
"You're not supposed to mix with people who are unequally yoked!"
"Buddy, that's about marrying non-believers!"
"Black people aren't Christians."
It is at this point in the retelling of the story that I dropped my tuna salad. Imagine going up to a black church lady and telling her she's not a Christian.
A second example of this dude:
They were eating lunch with the boss, who is from a South American country (didn't say which one) and they were playing the hispanic station on the radio. Dude says:
"I bet you clean your house to this music."
Stares from everyone at the table. Like what the fuck?
Boss talked to him about it and he quit that day because "you guys are too soft here."
Like... wow.

-Being part of a community. Being Here. Juntos.

Viziepop has characters that are depicted by biblethumpers as sinners in Hell, while there's none in Heaven, the whole "I don't want this close to being the Bible" shit is annoying lmfaaaooo.
Yeah, it's obvious you DON'T know what you're fucking doing with the characters you have been working on since High School and or adulthood, at this rate.
There's no "Bad People" in Hell, I am not even asking you to add Hitler because fuck no, I am just saying the ONLY bad people in here are people who indulge in vices or who have killed people, there's no generally bad bigots here (Though I suspect Val was a rapist when he was still alive.)
The only fucker I can remember who made a character for Hazbin Hotel was a notoriously known person who got into drama (I am not naming them due to not wanting LOLSUITS.) they made a Hazbin Hotel OC who was a Nazi.
And people didn't like that.
The one excuse of it being Hell would work, but yeah.
I am not asking for this shit to be in the show, I just find the "Not wanting to be near the bible" excuse to be really fucking rere. Like jfc, South Park didn't have this much fear and VIV WAS INSPIRED BY THAT SHOW!

Fit: It's like every week it's something different, eggs being kidnapped, people losing their memories...
Baghera: Yeah...
Chatter: I went to check Fit's stream, he's sitting with the classic emote, in the light, while Baghs is sitting with her knees against her chest, in the shadow BibleThump
^ just wanted to shout out this chatter who pointed out the visual here
Somebody who is not me should draw fanart of this moment
(This is Baghera telling Fit about growing up on the island and being scared to tell the others about it and being worried that even if they escape the Feds will just bring them back and also that she might have been the reason the plane crashed and therefore the reason why the French are now also stuck on the island.)
(The stream is Sept 21st, titled QSMP - SI TOUT FONCTIONNE, around 2h30min)

Just realized. No matter how frustrated Badboyhallow gets at the baby grubs, he can never-not free them because if he doesn't, he would be keeping the baby's away from their father.
Which is the exact same thing that has happened to him from every single guardian figure in his life. PLEASE. Biblethump.

when you find a biblethumper screaming about certain art on an art site. It is soo tempting too tell them "sir/mam this is an art site NOT a church"
Don't like nudity, sexual content within site rules,swearing and being "progressive"? Then get the hell of DeviantArt.
