I guess I wouldn’t mind the Jedi having so many haters if people would just… stop saying they like the Jedi when they only like their aesthetic or a specific Jedi.
Seriously, at least on twitter, many people will say they love the Jedi, retweet fanarts, make funny jokes and memes about them, and then proceed to make the most hateful comment on their culture and lifestyle I’ve ever seen. It’s literally like “I love the Jedi I just wish they didn’t do any of the things that make them Jedi”, it’s annoying and misleads me all the time because I’ll follow someone that’s all “oh i love jedi” and then a few days later they start spouting a bunch of fanon/legends bullshit that misunderstand, and many times vilify, the Jedi and when someone comes with actual canonical sources about them instead of fanon and headcanons, the person simply… ignores!
As if having so few of us isn’t sad enough it’s also difficult to stay away from Jedi haters because they don’t say/know they aren’t really Jedi fans, they just like their lightsabers and Luke Skywalker while being completely disdainful of their culture and essence.
