I am quite fond of JJL & I got something to express about how it gets treated

Two reasons why I understand what KotOR II means better than Chris Avellone, the lead writer, understands what it means (tongue-in-cheek):

1. KotOR II was Avellone's commentary on George Lucas' Star Wars. George Lucas wanted Star Wars to represent the truths he believed all religions shared. But actually Lucas was most influenced by Christianity. I understand Christian theology better than Avellone and Lucas. Thus, I understand KotOR II better than its creator understands it.

2. In KotOR II Avellone puts his own thoughts in the mouth of Kreia. Kreia challenges the player character. I play the player character. Therefore, what I think about what Kreia says can be what the player character thinks about what Kreia says. Avellone doesn't know what the player character played by me thinks, but I do. So I understand KotOR II better than him.

What I actually think: Fans who are actively thinking about the story they are a fan of in a way create their own versions of it. These versions can have a more developed meaning than the original. (For example, the Star Wars prequels according to @fialleril are very likely more developed in their message than the actual movies.) Unfortunately, I have not put a thorough commentary on KotOR II into text form yet, so that version remains in my head for now.

EDIT: Though, just to be clear, a fan's interpretation of a story can also be less meaningful than the original. They might miss some important parts of the original story in their interpretation.

"I don't hate autistic people, but I don't think being autistic is okay or morally acceptable". That's how it sounds, and if you don't see a problem in there, just know that when a LGBT person hears people saying "I don't hate them, I just don't think it's right" we're feeling bad, we're feeling scared, and this does help propagate hidden hate inside a religious community. It's truly offensive.

Wow mixing sexuallity with a syndrome. That’s new.

You’re taking offense over nothing. I have my beliefs, you have yours. I just don’t want you to make me accept that. That’s it.

She put a period at the end of it so I figured she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Let's get abstract. This is an interpretation of the following line of text from A General Theory of Love: "in the historical jungle of evolution, a minute level of worry invited disaster too often." Homework assignment for week 6 of photography class. 5 photos, edited in Lightroom. I picked the text first, then went out and shot based on the mood it evoked for me. I've missed posting here, in both senses of the word. Life has been a bit of a jungle on my end, but evolving rapidly, hopefully, towards something fabulous.

I think I've given everyone enough time to analyze the photo I posted. Here's the best interpretation I've on it so far. Listen:

Once your soul is perfected and sampled out to the masses; it effectively gives you the power of a bomb. That soul can be used to be the amplifier of destruction. It has more power than a bomb and lasts much longer than the initial explosion.  Look at the perfect soul like the Big Bang and it will make a little [more] sense. Forever expanding making new sub groups and factions along the way until it has quite literally changed the world.

Jesus - 2k years ago and wars and battles are still being fought in the name of him.  Time to perfect another soul and create a new bomb to keep the masses in check.
