like i implied in the tags and also said in another post. im over fascist forgiveness plot lines. idc how sorry you are atp i feel like when writers go down the "this violent white man participated in, supported, or otherwise justified genocide and destruction but he feels bad now" that's just white writers not actually understanding the level of depravity needed to support that ideology. the level of dehumanization. oh, he feels bad? he regrets his decision? and every single person around him is more than glad to bring him back and wrap their arms around him and pet his head and put his "terrible mistake" behind him? how many of his victims did you name, if any at all?

#ch posts #everyone wants to be fucking. zuko or anakin. #but they'll never be zuko or anakin. EVER. #and anakin's permanently on thin ice for me #yes my being Black 100% informs my opinion on these redemption arcs #because for me every fascist is also a white supremacist irl #and there's no sense trying to separate them. #in US history theyre too close theyre too linked #one doesnt exist without the other #and the Empire was modeled after. well yknow #idk it just gets on my nerves #im more forgiving of lesser crimes but i roll my eyes when it gets to the ''i regret my past im sorry i made a mistake'' #its just never enough for me #bad premise! #trite premise! overdone premise! let star wars just kill fascist characters and be done bro #im about to start talking in circles lmao let me leave it here
