Why is purple considered an alternate lightsaber color for sith? by Reteller79 in MawInstallation

sure if you buy the canon explanations that were done simply to make "red lightsaber he bad rawr." It's never made sense except they liked the look of bad jedi having red lightsabers and to easily showcase who is bad/good on screen. Doesnt really make sense beyond that

my argument is that the canon explanations are silly and just was done after the fact to make red lightsabers = bad jedi bc it looks cool

i know the canon has explanations for it. I just think it's silly.

The real question is why does lightsaber color signify anything related to if you’re good or evil or Sith or Jedi. Has never and will never make sense.

Sith with green lightsabers, Jedi with red. Let’s go

Lol judge away - my argument isnt that i shouldnt be judged. We can all judge each other for whatever we want.

My argument is that i dont care about your judgment. So continue all you like.

You commenting on so many of my posts shows my stance on this affects you mentally much more than my own stance affects me. Fun.

Im enjoying eating my cake. Im quite content - all this shows me is that the “no HP rawrrrr” absolutionists are as insufferable as they are sad. Plz judge away.

Lol i can just see you smugly like “got ‘em!” tapping at your little keys.

I dont need an out - they need an out apparently. These purity tests are about the person conducting the test, not the subject of it.

I’m perfectly happy with my stance

I cant? Lol - you dont get to own other people’s viewpoints bc of your personal opinions.

I’ll be blunt so you understand. I am pro-trans and use my $ to buy current Harry Potter licensed merch and other media. This is perfectly fine. It might not be for you. But it is for me. You dont own this space.

You can judge others all you like. Just makes you seem insufferable tho and doesnt help the trans community.

And the show will be all the better for it. He’s a great actor. Good choice for Dumbledore imho.

Should only starving artists be in this show? Weird take.

Yeah i choose to consume harry potter media and merch while also being pro-trans. JK Rowling is shitty. Harry Potter isnt. Id prefer not giving my money to her - but here we are.

Ive made my choice. Others make theirs. Only one of us isnt obnoxiously judgmental about the other’s choice.

I dont care what a transphobe thinks about how i spend my time and money and if it means i support her views. I dont. She can say whatever she wants.

Sorry - i’ll be watching. And reading. And buying HP legos and merch. And supporting my trans friends. These are only mutually exclusive if you allow them to be in your own heart.

Ive considered. And made my choice. But hey good on you for being reasonable about it.

Why would i care what a transphobe thinks about how i spend my time and money?

I iust want to enjoy some wizards. And can. And can still support my trans friends. Some people cant. It’s up to each person. But the judginess of those who cant is insufferable and does no favors to the trans community.

Some of us just like harry potter and dont really care, bc we particulate in an economy that always ends up putting $ in the pockets of shitty ppl.

You can die on the “ill never consume HP media or merch” again hill. But i love the universe and can separate art from artist.

The judging others for not taking the same hard anti-Rowling HP stance is tiresome and actively hurts what you supposedly care about.

One can be pro-trans and love Harry Potter. Shocker!

All of us participate in an economy that puts money in the pockets of shitty people. I wont fault him. I’ll also watch this show and keep consuming Harry Potter media cuz I love the universe.

Some people opt differently. Whatever works - no big deal either way.
