Not me installing SW: Republic Commando because I wanted to immerse myself in Mandalorian culture for this fic that I'm writing 😭

#Star Wars #Star Wars: Republic Commando #star wars is just one really deep rabbithole that i willingly fall into #fml #the clones aren't even the main focus of my fic i just wanted to flesh them out for worldbuilding fuck me #no really i was just looking for a little pinch of mando culture to sprinkle onto my fic and now i lead a squad of commandos lmaooooo #grand army of the republic #clone troopers #clone wars #clone army

All the antis on Twitter might make me fuck around and post my Obikin fic on AO3. 🤣 They got the audacity to be homophobic on Pride Month. Miss me with all that. 😏

Not me deleting my whole AO3 account because I accidentally hit kudos on an Obikin p*do fic when I only clicked on there to yell bloody murder at the author. Now I have to wait a whole week to get an invite back but it'll be worth every minute.

*LONG POST I GUESS*

Here's my 2 cents on the "whitewashing" issue in the Bad Batch that no one asked for. Personally, I don't mind that Clone Force 99 look paler than their regular clone brothers. Why? Because I distinctly remember that old sweet and incredibly brave 'defective' clone called 99 (oh hey that's their team's namesake go figure), the first clone of his kind introduced in TCW; the ‘defective’ kind that is, whatever the hell that means. And if my memory serves me right 99 was, holy shit hold on to your pitchforks & tiki torches guys, 99 was pale. Didn’t make him white though, because if you’re a brown person like me, you would know that brown people come in many shades. You can be light and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I digress. Maybe if you started looking at the defective clones’ paleness as a defect, then shit would make much more sense. 99 was pale and TBB are pale but They! Are! Still! Men! Of! Color! (Matter of fact, where was this outrage when 99 was first introduced? Because right off the bat I saw that he was paler than everybody else, aside from his more obvious physical defects. Ew that sounded ableist as fuck wow. I love 99 and I’m sure he’s in the SW equivalent of heaven.)

That isn’t to say though that there is no whitewashing in TBB. There definitely is. But not in the way you think. Their complexions don’t bother me, not at all. (Remember brown people come in many shades!) The facial features of two certain bad batchers does bother me. You know who I’m talking about right? Our boys Crosshair and Tech. Their facial features are all wrong. Therein lies the ‘whitewashing’. Why couldn’t they have just made them paler but kept the standard Jango face right? Those two don’t look like Mr. Morrison. Like, at all. It’s laughable. And don’t get me started on Echo. He was born brown. Where’s the brown skin, Dave?

Anyway, that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the skin issue in TBB. That being said, I’m not going to let all that get in the way of me enjoying watching the Bad Batch. There are more pressing real world problems that we need to address than a show that’s meant to be an escape from the real world with shitty real world problems that are real. Lmao. Peace. ✌🏾

Hey maybe when ACTUAL people of color, whether thats light skinned or dark, are saying the bad batch is fine, and their sick of seeing all the whitewash comments, maybe ITS TIME TO SHUT UP

I swear, most of you are white people that are complaining for woke points

#oh look a sensible tumblr post #that's rare #sincerely an asian that actually lives in asia #skin tones shouldn't bother you so much #that's kind of racist in itself lmao

Lmao a Codywan shipper deleted my comment and blocked me on IG for pointing out Obi and Cody's age difference and the fact that the Clones were bioengineered for the war and indoctrinated to be subservient to their Generals (basically making them Master and slave).

Frankly I find it fucking gross that people actually ship Codywan (and all other ships pairing Clones with their Jedi) seeing as:

1.) It's gratuitous as fuck and debases him and his clone brothers

2.) There's a power imbalance between him and the Jedi from the moment he was BORN, but, BUT, fanfics and art alike always depict Cody to be the one TAKING CARE of Obi-Wan like Obi's not a fucking JEDI FUCKING MASTER. WHO'S GONNA TAKE CARE OF THE CLONE WHO HAS TO WATCH HIS BROTHERS *DIE EVERYDAY IN AN ENDLESS WAR HERE? It's insulting to both of them to be brutally honest

and 3.) CODY IS A FUCKING KID COMPARED TO OBI-WAN WHO'S WELL ON HIS WAY TO 40 FUCK YOU I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK

#Codywan #Obi-Wan Kenobi #Commander Cody #CC-2224 #Star Wars #The Clone Wars #edited #Idgaf if u ship codywan u are literal trash #and you need to rethink your life #he was bred for war and to serve his general and follow his orders whatever they are #don't you find that fucking gross?#The clones don't got a choice but to fight a war they didn't start and people fuckin ship them with their fuckin jedi how fucked up is that #you sad sociopathic shippers need a reality check #I run into codywan art everytime i look for obi-wan art and I AM SICK OF IT #IT'S FUCKIN WRONG

can we stop only blaming british people for colonialism and how they don’t take any responsibility today? because hi, spain massacred the entire center and south america. france? destroyed entire civilizations and ruled the worldwide slave market. european countries literally sat down and divided africa to themselves. y'all don’t get blame free just because it’s more trendy to be after british people on tumblr.

As a Brit, I heartily agree. The sins of our ancestors shouldn’t wash down to us. Otherwise you may aswell call me a murdering monster because I’m descended directly from Irish tribes that pillaged and murdered. Let’s not forget if you’re also Christian and saying this, then you’re happily ignoring the crusades.

di-glossia

That is not what OP is saying. Britain’s crimes are better known because they conquered more and Tumblr is overwhelmingly an English-language site. Britain’s imperial past touches most of us on a fundamental level.

Spain, France, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Russia, less so. You may not even be familiar with Denmark’s colonies or what the US did to Hawai'i. People in my country were shocked by King Leopold’s Ghost and we had some of the most brutal generational chattel slavery.

It isn’t really about “your ancestors did evil shit”. That’s pretty universal. It’s “you and your country benefits from and/or have failed to acknowledge that evil past”. It’s the Koh-i-noor and residential schools, making reparations for the Holocaust but not Namibia. It’s Eurocentric beauty standards and skin bleaching, the destruction of indigenous languages and cultures, the robbing of generations of wealth, and genocide. This stuff still affects people today. Africa and Central and South America would look wildly different if colonialism had never happened. Central Asia is still dealing with the fallout of the Soviet Union. Millions of people were slaughtered and enslaved around the world up until modern times.

People need to understand it wasn’t just Britain and Spain and the US and it wasn’t some distant past. There are countries that only achieved independence within living memory. Millions of indigenous peoples still have to heed colonial oppressors. Wealth is gone that colonial powers haven’t returned.

Also, many, many people have talked about how devastating Christian imperialism is in particular. The Crusades were horrifying. And idiotic. And Christianity is at the absolute center of European colonialism. God, glory, and gold, remember?

Spaniards took our gold, gave us new names, and made us hate the way we look. Here in the Philippines the use of skin "whitening" beauty products is normalized and nobody thinks it's abhorrent and terrifying. Why do white people want to make it out scot free saying "we arent our ancestors we didnt do all those terrible things" while the colonies remain poor and are still suffering? We arent our ancestors either.
