I have come to the realisation that I love individual Jedis but do not like the Jedi Order as a whole.
There's clearly a lot of systemic issues with the Jedi, some that could be solved by separating from the Senate/Republic and some that require an overhaul of the Jedi Order's way of operating, but individual Jedis are awesome.
There are many Jedis I love- Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, Cin Drallig, Jocasta Nu and Vokara Che to name a few- but I can't stand the way they operate as a whole.
I may investigate this in a fic or long form post.

His shirt says "I will not quietly go back to the reign of the Empire." ;)

I just want to let you know, I really like how you draw Palpatine. It's just brings a smile to my face.
Woaaaah thank you so much! It’s really nice to hear that.His design happened by accident. I really liked how some of his faces looked on the storyboards, so much so that I decided to use them for his final look. Same happened with Anakin as a kid.
Here are some of the boards:

Finally watched/listened to the full 4 hour call the Senate had with Rosa, and oh my God, that was NASTY
Here's my thoughts while I was watching it, with time stamps
I'm making this comment as I go through the video, so this is my thought process throughout the video
Before I start, my assumptions going in are that Rosa was a mod in Star Giant's server, was told about Nekopawn (How do you spell that?) grooming kids, but didn't do anything about it, including not telling Star Giant, so I'm hoping some evidence of Rosa being told and ignoring it is talked
29:31 If Rosa should just block him and move on, couldn't Ziad do the same thing to her if it pissed him off? Because, like Ziad is allowed to complain about others on his Twitter, she and others are also allowed to complain about him on Twitter. Or, were she and others making sock puppets to harass him?
30:51 "I'm sensing a pattern here, a very gross pattern" funnily enough, so am I
31:10 they say here they're not talking about Nekopawn, and they're talking about how Andrew Clark defended Cuties (which, gross), and it sounded (to me) like Rosa was asking when he did that when she asks for the timeline, but then they immediately start on about the Nekopawn grooming. Like, I could be completely wrong, but it didn't seem like Rosa was asking when the grooming happened, just trying to figure out when the cuties thing happened
35:32 By the way, when DID this grooming happen? Because, if it was years ago, then what do her tweets as of then and how much she tweeted at the time have to do with anything? Did her and Ziad begin having beef recently or was it something that happened a while ago and she kept dragging it up, because, if it's the latter, then I guess I can see why it's relevant. It sounds like these things happened around the same time, but, given the fact that they also
34:18 when the hell did this person try to be nice? Rosa is correct, she tries to answer their questions and they don't ask for clarifications, they make an assumption on what she means, and then hound her for THEIR assumptions
36:02 ok, shit take Rosa
36:34 far as I'm aware, we, the public, don't have that evidence, and given how these guys can sometimes take evidence and misconstrue it, I'm struggling to have any faith in them (if someone can prove me wrong, please do, I'd like to be wrong about this part)
44:08 Isn't Lio JUST now addressing how awful this call was a year later? And I mean, on YouTube? (Again, if I'm wrong and he publicly denounced it earlier than a short segmant in his video a few months ago, please correct me)
(Side note, Lio says they sent Rosa apologies for this call the day after it happened, but, apparently, Rosa says they never apologized. Do Lio and co. ever show proof they apologized?)
45:10 isn't she being more specific? She's said she feels sorry for not handling the Nekopawn situation better, only to be cut off by Peaches being sarcastic and nasty
446:13 funny, I could say the EXACT same about these people
47:36 cool, so Blu acknowledges you can miss the good times with sh*tty people. I say this as an autistic person who is probably younger than most of the people talking in the Senate (I just turned 22 in January): I'm considered to be on the "higher end of the spectrum", but I am still INCREDIBLY gullible and easily manipulated. It was so easy to be convinced and then convince myself that anything my "friends" did was fine, and if I had a problem with anything, I was just being overdramatic because "how dare I think these people can do bad things, they put up with me, so how can they be bad? I'm such a bad friend for questioning them." Look, I don't know if Rosa is anything like me when I was a kid and didn't know how to handle serious things (and I very much do agree she should have done something, ANYTHING, when people brought the grooming to her attention), but if Peaches' grooming can be used to explain why they invalidated another person's grooming story a few years back (see the Crystal Flame situation), I fail to see how being an easily manipulated person cannot also be used as an explanation (not an excuse, an EXPLANATION)
50:20 BITCH, I WOULD BE CRYING, THE FACT ROSA ISN'T AMAZES ME
51:29 again, what does this have to do anything?
52:10 then how is he a piece of shit? Quite honestly, I don't think MOST of the people in this call have ever touched grass, but that’s not why I think they're pieces of shit
54:19 I presume this talking about the call Lio has on his channel, which I also listened to, and, TBH, she’s not wrong about how that call was abusive
56:10 I could say the EXACT same thing about your kid Lio
57:52 I wish Peaches would stop pretending to care
58:11 Why WOULD she thank you???
58:40 when? When were they calm? She didn't even say that, that's their assumption of what she meant
59:09 I hope Blu and everyone else feels guilty for this call
59:58 wait? What?
1:00:38 And I'd think Lio publicly (in a video) addressing how abusive, ableist, and nasty this call was should take priority over Miku, but, what do I know?
1:01:52 I agree with this. If Rosa CAN get into contact with Star Giant and tell them to address the Nekopawn situation, she should, and if Rebecca refuses, she absolutely needs to drop her
1:02:10 WHY DOES THE STAR WARS STUFF KEEP COMING UP??? I'M GENUINELY SO CONFUSED??? WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE GROOMING???
1:03:16 why is this Leah person being given the floor before any of the victims?
1:04:09 and I also hate liars... I also hate ableist bullies who don’t seem to know what nuance is, what's your point???
1:05:52 so, when Ziad is supposedly harassing people, it's fine???
1:06:05 ok, if that's true, that's screwed up and I would also be rude to those people
1:06:31 with that logic, so can Rosa??? I'm so confused, is she the one trying to dox him? If she's just complaining about him on Twitter, what's the problem? Shouldn't Ziad be more focused on the people trying to dox him instead of someone saying their opinion on him? Like, what did Rosa's tweets even say? Were they THAT bad?
1:06:33 again, if she can do that to Ziad, why can't Ziad block and ignore her and her opinions on him??? I'm being serious and genuine, I don't understand WHY he couldn't do that??? If someone knows, I'd appreciate it
1:06:40 ah yes, Coyote Lovely, the guy who a few months later was exposed to be in contact (and I think friends) with a known groomer and zoo
1:09:21 pot meet kettle
1:09:33 I could be completely mistaken, but wasn't it revealed that Ziad DID threaten someone using a sock puppet account? Like, I listened to both of Lio's videos on him yesterday and that's what I got from them. Was there ever any evidence of him doing this to other people like his haters? I'm actually curious (again, if someone knows that he didn't send any threats to his detractors, that info would be greatly appreciated)
1:09:48 ok, so Leah is older than I am
1:10:21 oh yeah, like that's believable 🙄
1:11:50 oh, cool, so, according to Dr Lio Convoy, you can only have PTSD if you've been to war. Does this mean grooming victims can't have PTSD? Or are you specifically talking about online bullying? Because, wouldn't that mean Peaches can't have PTSD or trauma from the Peaches drama a few years back?
1:12:43 and here's Dr Leah who apparently knows everything about seizures, despite the fact that they're incorrect and repeated seizures CAN cause brain damage and lead to memory loss
1:13:09 maybe it's just me, but I feel like they kinda SHOULD care how Rosa's seizures affect her???
1:13:39 I feel like that's a stupid comparison...
1:14:09 apparently they also know when something isn't a panic attack because they have panic attacks "sometime"
1:14:35 panic attacks are different for everyone (but, I'll admit, I don't think I've ever seen the call they're talking about). Also, their analogies suck, they could've just said light switch, why specifically a light switch in a bathroom???
1:15:22 cool, more bad faith assumptions based on someone they've NEVER met. I'm curious where this 23 year old is studying to be a doctor since they can apparently diagnose someone as faking panic attacks over a call
1:15:39 literally, Lio acts more like an anime protagonist than Rosa (from what I've heard). Have you heard him yelling? It sounds like he's a shitty voice actor. I've heard comic dubs by 12 year olds with more believable rage than Lio
1:16:08 how many times have they interrupted Rosa now? I lost count
1:16:32 well now I'm even more confused, because I don't hear Rosa acting "cutesy UwU", I've only heard her struggle to speak and not understanding what's going on
1:16:41 She does have special needs, and Lio KNOWS this, so WHY hasn't he stepped in and confirmed that Rosa IS special needs?
1:16:52 really, I couldn't tell 🙄. Again, to me, these people sound more like wannabe voice actors than Rosa does TF 🤨
1:18:19 so they're NOT a doctor??? So why are they acting like they know anything???
1:18:51 has Lio considered the memory loss is Rosa trying to explain and not excuse?
1:19:23 1: that wasn't even a clever insult and 2: cool, telling Rosa to commit self delete
1:20:26 ok, so the grooming started in 2019 but was revealed in 2020
1:20:40 she literally didn't say that!
1:21:45 wait? What? Weren't they just giving Rosa crap for not listening to this Mongrel person (despite saying they also wouldn't listen to them), and it's Rosa's fault for giving Mongrel another chance? What?
1:22:17 so Rosa may not have been contacted about Nekopawn? Because they're asking if Rosa KNEW about the email?
1:22:24 why are they confronting ROSA about STAR GIANT complaining that they needed to ban Nekopawn? They're getting mad at the wrong person
1:23:02 IDK, why didn't the Senate try harder to get her in a call?
1:23:25 so Rosa isn't Rebecca's friend by Rebecca's OWN admission???
1:23:38 I THOUGHT THEY SAID SOMEONE EMAILED STAR GIANT ABOUT NEKO??? I THOUGHT STAR GIANT WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THE GROOMING AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO BAN NEKO? If Star Giant ALREADY KNEW about the grooming, what was Rosa SUPPOSED TO DO? This whole call, I thought that the victims only went to Rosa and, because she never said anything, Star Giant didn't know, but they're saying that they contacted both Star AND another person who WENT TO STAR GIANT?! Like, even if Rosa DID try to ban Nekopawn (even though she apparently couldn't ban people), Star COULD'VE just added them back KNOWING of the grooming? Like, I'm confused, am I misunderstanding them?
1:23:46 just a guess, but maybe it was the seizure induced memory loss?
1:23:52 oh, did you go to war?
1:25:02 your problem is with Star!
1:26:01 look, I feel horrible hearing this victim of Nekopawn speak, what they went through is HORRIBLE, but they keep bringing up their grievances with STAR as if ROSA is the one who did them
1:27:44 and yet, somehow Lio, you still come across as chronically online
1:29:00 why are they bringing up the email sent to STAR GIANT? Again, this is Rosa, bring up the stuff you can prove was sent to HER and can prove she didn’t act upon the situation properly
1:29:25 I feel like a broken record, but STAR GIANT SAID THAT!
1:29:56 how does being a fan of someone have anything to do with memory problems?
1:31:29 I'm sorry WHAT?
1:32:12 Lio, you DO harass people on the internet
1:33:31 do they know if Star ever got abused, or are they just assuming she's overdramatising an insult about her editing? I mean, even if Star WAS abused, that doesn’t excuse them doing nothing about a groomer
1:33:42 so does Lio and this entire fucking server
1:33:54 then where is it? Bring THAT up instead of repeatedly bringing up what Star Giant did and said
1:34:18 irony? How is Rosa not remembering and someone else remembering details about her ironic?
1:37:22 it wasn’t Rosa's server though? Seriously, am I missing something?
1:38:11 or maybe Rosa was looking for other LGBT people to be friends with? Why do they immediately assume she's using LGBT people as shields?
1:39:15 where did she say she fetishisizes LGBT people? The bad faith assumptions are insane
1:40:52 okay, yeah, why was that recording ignored? That's messed up
1:42:26 very much agree, Rosa needs to get rid of Star Giant
1:43:14 STAR SAID THAT, NOT ROSA! WHY ARE YOU GETTING ON ROSA ABOUT SOMETHING STAR SAID?
1:44:37 they haven't let her speak? And when she gets the chance, they doubt or mock or interrupt her
1:47:53 Rosa ISTG 🤦‍♀️
1:51:25 where the hell did that even come from?
1:52:51 I guess those without talent also spend their free time being ableist bullies
1:55:57 and Rosa is the one acting like an anime protagonist?
1:56:12 so, now Lio is insulting Rosa's appearance, that's great and absolutely called for 🙄
1:56:18 "I care very much so about people with disabilities" mmmm, why don't I believe that?
1:56:36 BITCH STOP ASKING! YOU DON'T FUCKING CARE!
1:57:36 GEE, I WONDER WHY SHE WOULD WANT TO LEAVE???
1:57:50 isn’t that why she’s here? Because, so far, a majority of this call is just calling her stupid, saying ableist shit, and blaming her for stuff someone else said
1:58:20 they also cut her off repeatedly and didn't listen to her when she DID specify what she was sorry for and continued to treat her like an idiot
1:58:29 at this point, I'm confused about what Rosa did too, because the most outrageous stuff they've brought up is stuff they said Star Giant said, not Rosa. Again, maybe I'm misunderstanding and I apologize if that's the case but it's not very clear
1:59:29 I wish I was in this call because I have words to say and questions to ask
1:59:51 I don't know what's going on
2:00:01 oh, hey, unnecessary insults again
2:00:51 the way they talk to Rosa makes me wonder if they think SHE'S the groomer
2:01:28 "you've gone off topic so many times" YEAH, SO HAVE YOU AND ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE WHO SPOKE PEACHES! The only Naruto role player is you and your friends
2:02:10 and more ableism
2:02:55 wait, I thought they said earlier someone else snitched on the victims, not Rosa??? Did I misunderstand?
2:04:00 okay, first off, you don't know if she was sick or not Lio, second off knock off the slut-shaming, literally what reason was there for you to say that?
2:04:56 ok, so Lio admits he's threatening her now, and he's also telling her to self delete
2:05:32 wait? Find her family? How? Is he going to stalk her or something? That's a really weird thing to threaten
2:05:41 so Lio acknowledges she's LGBT now, and we know that he knows her parents are her caregivers, but he has no problems outing her to the people she relies on to live
2:05:47 kinda curious what Lio's excuse is for this call happening and everything he said, especially since he's older than Rosa and, apparently, has stronger morals
2:06:04 so you did stalk her? And are now threatening to harass her on her Facebook? Also, reblog is Tumblr you fucking idiot
2:06:31 now Lio is threatening to spread this through her town
2:06:41 couldn't happen to a better person? At the time of this call, you were friends with people more deserving of this vitrol. I wonder how Lio's town and family would react to him verbally abusing and bullying a disabled woman with 60+ people watching and others joining in?
2:07:10 HOW IS THAT ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS???
2:09:15 if I hear that Peaches cried when people called them out for being a litle ableist bitch bully, I'm gonna lose my shit
2:09:38 WHEN DID SHE SAY ANY OF THAT???
2:10:05 sincerely, the slut comment was unnecessary
2:11:22 okay, so, Rosa can't interrupt Lio, but he's free to interrupt her and cut her off whenever he wants
2:11:39 WHAT THE FUCK LIO?!
2:13:13 she sounds so distressed
2:14:25 "say whatever you want about me being a horrible person" you mean in this server full of your friends that have repeatedly interrupted her, twisted her words, and thrown insults at her? Where at least one of them has already excused you spamming your haters, but Rosa apparently can't complain about you?
2:14:49 at this point, I also don't respect you Ziad
2:16:56 and now Ziad sounds like an anime character giving a tragic backstory monolog
2:18:36 clearly since you obviously haven't learned shit
2:19:18 didn’t Ziad say he hoped Rosa got hit by a car on Twitter? (I could be wrong) And several times IN THIS CALL people have told her that she should self delete?
2:19:26 well the ableism isn't false now I guess
2:20:18 wasn't that tweet addressed earlier in the call? Because, from my memory, the tweet wasn't accusing Ziad of being a homicidal maniac, it was an exaggerated way of saying Ziad silences people who are against him
2:20:49 "we're not abusing you!" Highly debatable
2:22:05 ISTG, everytime Peaches talks, I want to bash my head in with a brick
2:22:24 oh, cool, another doctor who can apparently diagnose strangers over Discord
2:24:24 you are a terrible person
2:24:56 I could say the EXACT SAME THING ABOUT ALMOST EVERYONE ON THIS CALL
2:27:39 IT WASN'T ROSA'S SERVER! STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!
2:28:50 maybe she just calmed down? Also, I thought she still sounded distressed while talking to Ziad
2:29:38 and yet, here Ziad is taking attention away from the grooming to yell at Rosa about shit on Twitter that, according to these people, shouldn't matter as much as the grooming
2:31:27 was ROSA the one calling Ziad a pedo??? Because that's disgusting and disappointing if so
2:32:12 oh, hey, Sappho's BFF is back
2:33:22 so Ziad DOES go after people with differing opinions??? I'm confused again
2:36:30 most of what you people have brought up isn't relevant to Rosa
2:37:40 LIO DID THREATEN TO TALK TO HER MOM! HOW WAS THAT A FAKE THREAT?
2:37:54 the next time I hear Peaches crying and having a panic attack, I'll just assume that they're lying because their mummy didn't raise them right
2:41:12 I counted, Coyote said the 'r' slur 9 times in a row
2:42:48 legit, those examples aren't even in the same ballpark Lio, and I think you know that
2:42:56 so, wait, Ziad can say his opinion all he wants, and people can't say anything bad about him, but if someone says something HE doesn't agree with (because even if a movie is factually bad, people can still have the opinion that it was good), he’s allowed to rip apart their opinions? That's what I'm getting in this section
2:43:09 and you're a piece of shit Lio, and I guess you always will be 🤷‍♀️
2:43:40 IT WASN'T ROSA'S SERVER AND YOU KNOW THAT LIO! CALLING IT "your server" WHEN SPEAKING TO ROSA MISLEADS THOSE WHO DON'T FUCKING KNOW AND PILES THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH OWNING A SERVER, WHICH ROSA DIDN'T HAVE BECAUSE IT WASN'T HER SERVER, ONTO HER
2:45:01 that's somehow the stupidest fucking suggestion I've ever heard so far. Who the hell would give people bullying them their login info? Quite frankly, I wouldn't be shocked if these people used that to say shit on her accounts and frame her for it
2:47:47 and now Lio is dehumanizing her, great
2:49:12 and fatphobia, because that's not disgusting and uncalled for
2:51:26 is it just me or is Peaches slurring their words?
2:51:58 these people keep bouncing between the Nekopawn situation and Twitter beef between Rosa and Ziad
2:52:45 funny, I'm curious if anyone in this call is sorry for the disgusting shit they said, or if they're just sorry they're now being called out
2:53:03 hasn't Rosa apologized several times in this call for her inaction about Nekopawn? I mean, all fairness, she has brought up how her personal life got in the way almost (if not every) time she said sorry, so I can see why it wouldn't feel genuine
2:53:19 so, Lio's wishing harm upon a disabled person from their caregiver
2:53:57 so, first she's an anime protagonist, and now she's an NPC
2:54:33 I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT THE SENATE
2:54:47 LMAO, THE IRONY 🤣
2:55:59 and you people didn't help that victim and I HIGHLY doubt ANY of these people actually give a shit about kids being groomed after this call. This call has shown me that they just want to bully people in the open, but in a way that makes people think they're good people
2:56:25 SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT PEACHES ISTG!
2:58:08 *cough cough* pot meet kettle *cough cough*
2:59:58 I hope Lio sees my comment, maybe he'll answer all my questions
3:03:30 NO YOU'RE NOT BEING NICE AND YES, YOU ARE YELLING AT HER!
3:03:42 I'd argue most of these people can't come back from this "mistake" of a call
3:06:47 and yet, despite being used, this person clearly doesn't have an OUNCE of empathy or understanding for Rosa
3:09:37 if you gave STAR the evidence, how is it Rosa's fault that STAR told Neko? These people keep bringing up shit Star Giant did and said and demanding Rosa's answers for someone else's actions
3:11:16 Lio, you've lost your temper SEVERAL TIMES in JUST this call alone
3:11:40 so Lio ACKNOWLEDGES that Rosa needs a caretaker and incapable of taking care of herself
3:14:03 ...I feel like that sentence alone says a lot about what this call was actually about...
3:14:18 the fucking dramatic voice 😂 anime protagonist much
3:14:58 didn't Lio literally acknowledge that Rosa was LGBT earlier when he said he would out her to her parents, even if they were homophobic?
3:15:33 I couldn't given everyone was screaming insults at Rosa
3:16:01 well Peaches, I guess YOU would know something about bitch boy tears 🤷‍♀️
3:16:25 Dr Peaches in the house now, diagnosing someone over a fucking Discord call
3:16:36 wait, I didn't know Peaches fought in wars too? Or does Lio think you can only have PTSD if you're a war vet UNLESS he likes you?
3:16:51 I can't tell if Peaches is knowingly lying and twisting Rosa's words, or if they've somehow just convinced themselves that Rosa ACTUALLY said ANY of that, but I'm hoping it's the latter...
3:18:28 ROSA DIDN'T FUCKING SAY THAT!
3:18:38 were they? Because, if memory serves me correct, Blu is the one who initially assumed Rosa said grooming had an expiration date
3:19:35 maybe she gets quiet because everyone interrupts her and doesn't let her speak ... Just a thought...
3:20:06 WHEN DID SHE SAY THAT?????
3:20:50 oh cool, so Lio would murder his own disabled child for not doing enough to stop a predator
3:21:57 Lio quite literally told her she wasn't allowed to leave yet, and told (threatened) her that, if she did, he would contact her parents
3:22:03 if I find out that Peaches couldn't find the time to send an apology to Rosa for this call before deleting their shit, I'm gonna lose it
3:22:36 and abortion jokes. Also, Lio making fun of Rosa's appearance
Again... what is this, the 5th time?
3:23:34 PONDER, THANK EVERYTHING!
3:24:03 Lio back pedaling so fast LOL
3:24:28 she asked for a fucking reason Lio
3:24:55 none of you have even let her say more than 2 sentences at a time, how could she have gone on "tangents"? Also, not Lio fucking lying to Ponder
3:24:57 "never being able to answer direct questions" whenever she tried, someone would cut her off
3:25:03 YES PONDER, THANK YOU!
3:26:20 these fuckers got REAL quiet real fast
3:27:12 no she fucking didn't, stop twisting her words!
3:27:20 Ponder is finally asking the right questions
3:28:03 wow, Lio got real quiet...
3:29:27 thank you Harley and Ponder
3:29:39 fucking idiot
3:31:10 WHEN WERE ANY OF YOU TRYING TO BE NICE???
3:33:04 these bitches are STRUGGLING to explain themselves to Ponder
3:34:50 so many people seem to be leaving the call now that the bullying is done
3:35:40 THERE'S A DIFFERENCE? I'm so glad they called that shit out
3:36:25 Ponder was literally stunned by how stupid Lio sounded
3:37:13 I cannot believe I'm agreeing with Coyote...
3:37:56 I'M SO GLAD THEY CALLED WHOEVER THAT IS OUT ON THAT
3:38:26 how many excuses have you and your friends tried to make for their bullying in the past 15 or so minutes Ponder has been here?
3:39:29 you're letting her speak? You're giving her your patience? Legit when?
3:39:46 OH MY GOD, I WAS NOT EXPECTING SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY CALL THEM ON HOW THEY WERE MAKING EXCUSES
3:41:06 I'm so glad Harley brought up these threats and blackmail
3:41:32 LIO ADMITTED IT WAS A THREAT! AND HE WAS YELLING!
3:42:32 that's because it WAS intimidation
3:44:38 guys got a point, they're beating a dead horse
3:46:09 I'm so glad Ponder called Lio on this shit
3:47:23 THEY CHANGED HER NAME???
3:48:25 well, these people have shown it's unsafe for her
3:49:14 So, it's confirmed Lio knew and never said anything
3:49:58 Lio may not have brought them into this call, but he is (apparently) the owner of this server
3:50:11 Lio can interrupt anyone he wants, but God forbid anyone interrupt Lio
3:50:15 whether he used the slur or not, Lio was still ableist against someone he KNEW was disabled! How many times did he shame Rosa for not having a job or for living with her parents (caretakers!) at 30? He KNEW she couldn't take care of herself, and still repeatedly shamed and mocked her for it as if she was just lazy and stupid rather than incapable. He also continuously mocked her for not understanding "basic" questions and called her "mush mouth" MULTIPLE TIMES! Just because he didn't say the 'r' slur, doesn't mean he wasn't being ableist
Speaking of ableist little bitches, I haven't heard Peaches say anything for a bit and they wouldn't stfu earlier
3:50:49 THANK YOU! I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING LIO
3:51:39 I'm going to say this rn, I don't believe for a SECOND that Coyote didn't know Rosa was disabled
3:51:49 I'm so glad some of these people are calling Lio out for withholding information about Rosa
3:52:14 that makes no sense and now I'm almost positive Coyote knew she was disabled and is just trying to cover his ass
3:53:09 I do. I think you were trying to make about yourself. You're also continuing to make it about yourself
3:54:45 you're right Lio, this IS your server, so why did it take so long for you to get off your ass and handle this?
3:55:02 "I'm not a qualified therapist" no shit and thankfully
3:55:31 DUDE, THEY WERE PROBABLY SCARED OF YOU AND YOUR POSSE! And, why does it feel like Lio is trying to shift the attention off of him and onto Harley and Grimace (?)
3:56:38 HA! THEY'RE NOT WRONG
I mean, seriously, a few people tried to say Ponder was making excuses for Rosa when she finally said something
3:57:54 people have VOCALLY said the same things
4:00:08 HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE FAKED A PANIC ATTACK AND PRETEND CRIED! YOU'RE JUST ASSUMING THAT
TL;DR I somehow came out of this call more confused about the Nekopawn situation than when I went in, and the stuff these people said was disgusting and nasty and I hope they're reflecting on their actions and apologize to Rosa. Lio may say he doesn't stand by this call because "it happened a year ago" but I don't believe him for a second. I JUST learned about this call 3 days ago, but I used to be subscribed and listened to Lio while drawing, and I haven't heard him address this in ANY of his videos EXCEPT for a small section in one of his latest video where all he really says is that he's working on a video (correct me if I'm wrong) and bitching about how people are JUST now getting mad about this call, when, IDK about anyone else, but, again I JUST learned about this call
I'm still planning on listening to what Lio says, but I think I'm going to struggle to believe anything he says
I hope Ponder eventually listened to the entire call and saw how they lied to her and twisted Rosa's words...

If I Could Reform The Jedi, Here's What I'd Do
Remove any kind of age limit to joining. One of the big things that jumped out at me as dodgy about the Jedi is that they were reluctant to allow Anakin to join the order partially because he was too old, even though he was only 9. As their other concerns about him were over his fear for his mother, it seems to me that the Jedi prefer that the children who join are too young to properly remember their families, so the Jedi are the only thing they remember. This is dodgy as hell and smacks of child indoctrination, so if I could reform the Jedi I'd change it. Any child, regardless of age, should be able to join and there should be some kind of program for adults to be trained too.
Oversight for Masters and Padawans. Clearly, there isn't any kind of system or oversight over the Master/Padawan pairs in the Jedi. In proper canon, Ahsoka is assigned to Anakin, even though he is very clearly not a suitable master, being as he's only 19, has literally just graduated to knight and is obviously very reckless and prone to endangering himself and others around him. In the, now non-canon, books, Qui-Gon repeatedly mistreats Obi-Wan and no one ever does anything about it. So, clearly, there needs to be some kind of oversight.
Support for Jedi who choose to leave. It doesn't seem like there's any kind of support for Jedi who choose to leave the order, which doesn't seem right to me. While some Jedi, like Dooku, might have wealthy family who can support them, most probably don't have any family that they know. So what is in place to help these Jedi? Are they just sent out into the Galaxy penniless? I'm guessing there's no emotional or mental support either, considering Dooku leaves then almost immediately begins Falling. As does Xanatos, in the non-canon books. I'd put a transitional support system in place.
A better system for deciding who gets sent on what mission. The premise of the Clone Wars movie is that Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka get sent to rescue baby Rotta the Hutt. The Council thought it was okay to send Anakin on a mission involving Tattooine, where Anakin was enslaved and his mother died, and the Hutts, who enslaved him. That cannot have been good for his mental state. I'm not sure if it's canon or not but Dooku was, at one point, sent on a mission to his home planet, where his father left him to die of exposure as a baby. To give credit to the Jedi, I don't think he was meant to encounter his father, but still, that's not smart. In the non-canon books, Xanatos goes on a mission with Qui-Gon to his home planet, wherein they have to stop his crime lord father. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?! Not-so-coincedentally, these three Jedi all Fell. I'd set up some kind of system so Jedi aren't sent on missions involving places and people that have caused them trauma.
A mental health support system. Very, very obviously the Jedi have no mental health support system at all. Also very very obviously, they really need one. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Quinlan Vos and more would have heavily benefited from some mental health support.
A research requirement before missions. It's unclear if the Jedi are required to do any kind of research before they're sent off on missions. I'm uncertain if it's canon or not, but part of Jango Fett's backstory involves his people being slaughtered by the Jedi because the Jedi thought they'd been killing civilians. If the Jedi had done a modicum of research, they'd have discovered that that particular faction of Mandos didn't harm civilians. The entirety of the clone wars might have been averted. So there definitely needs to be a research requirement before missions.
Independence from the Senate/Republic. This is the big one. The Jedi being so involved and connected to the Senate/Republic means that they can't help non Republic planets and peoples, so large parts of the Galaxy go unaided. It also means they can be forced into things like leading a slave army of child soldiers, like in the Clone Wars. It's a religious order, there's no reason they need to be connected to the Senate/Republic.

The terrorist state’s illegal bombardment of Palestinian civilians has resumed today.
To any who stand for said bombardment or who remain silent about it: may every dream and intrusive thought you have be haunted with the screams, cries, and images of the Palestinian people.
