#Thank god I didn't start talking about the difference in treatment Bo-Katan and Sabine received otherwise I wouldn't have stopped writing

Let's be honest: op is unfortunately right.

They may say it's because Ezra is from the Rebels series, and not all fans know him, but I distinctly remember how people momentarily went crazy for Cobb Vanth when he was introduced in The Mandalorian. In the week following his appearance, fanart and ff were literally flocked from every corner, for a character who had 30/40 minutes of screentime (maybe). And Cobb is originally a character in a trilogy of novels, which I'm pretty sure most of his fans didn't read/know about at the time (And there's nothing wrong with that, of course).

And Cobb is just one example to show the difference in treatment Ezra is receiving. It seems to me that the only people interested in his appearance in Ahsoka are those who were already fans of him in Rebels, while those who have never followed the series are simply snubbing him?

And again: there's nothing wrong if you're a SW fan and you don't care about Ezra, but I have a feeling that if he was white he would have had a much larger fan base.

You can argue with my impressions by saying that "Din Djarin and Poe Dameron are played by Latin actors and have a very large fan base!", but... yeah, we all know that's the case only because Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac and their characters are constantly fetishized 😭. Sadly, because in my opinion Din and Poe are characters who deserve much more than how they are treated and perceived in the fandom (I'm speaking in general obviously, but it cannot be denied that there is a problem with how they are systematically portrayed).

So yeah, basically poc characters are ignored or fetishized and every time I think about it I want to explode. I can't thank enough the artists and writers who are bringing us joy when it comes to adult!Ezra these days. They may be few, but they are all talented and deserve a kiss

If Adult Ezra Bridger was white, the fanfic writers would've been eating this up!!
