#anakin was so lonely he developed a sibling relationship with his padawan and master and was destroyed when he had to let one of those go

The amount of people complaining that the Acolyte made the Jedi bad guys is really funny cause like, the Jedi were bad guys literally since the prequels. They learned that their chosen one had arrived at their doorstep and decided this was the one child they didn't want around. When that didn't work, they made his life a constant struggle. They force all their members to forgo all relationships and prevented him from going to Tatooine for years. Despite him fitting the criteria and sacrificing everything for them, they denied him the rank of master. They falsely prosecuted Ahsoka for treason and when Anakin found the real culprit, they avoided blame because "the Force works in mysterious ways". They train children in battle and weaponry, even doing so before they had known about the return of the Sith.

As for the "they made the Jedi child lurers", they canonically track down force-sensitive children and persuade their parents to give them over without ever disclosing they will never see their child again and then give that child the same life mentioned above. They claimed Anakin was "too old" to be a youngling despite him being 9 at the time, meaning they indoctrinate kids at *ideally* younger than double digits. Like the Jedi haven't been saints for ages.
