I personally have mixed feelings on "Mandoclones" (bc I think it's multifaceted with many things to consider) but what bothers me is when I see stuff along the lines of:
"Clones shouldn't just be copy pasted Mandalorians! But you know where they would get their culture from? The Jedi!!"
Bc like what about the clones just being their own thing??
Saying all their culture is just Jedi culture doesn't make it any better, all you did is replace who they are 'copying' culture from. (And then you realize this is probably just using the clones as a thinly veiled front for a Jedi vs Mandos debate...)
Do I think the clones could have taken some influence from their Jedi generals, the main people they interact with outside of their brothers? Yeah!
Do I think that applies just as much (if not more bc the exposure is earlier, longer, and more direct) to their trainers on Kamino (who in Legends are mainly Mandalorians)? Also yes!
And, it could also be true for other trainers who aren't Mando. And other peoples and cultures the clones interact with when they are deployed and traveling to a bunch of planets across the galaxy.
But regardless of any and all of these influences:
The clones still have culture OF THEIR OWN
It just really irks me whenever I see insinuations that they don't, as if they are nothing more than completely blank slates that can only take influence from others (like even in fic sometimes I'll see lines like "the clones have no culture"). Which is literally not even true to what we see in canon, and fanon depictions (and you know, just not how culture works!)
