Jedi as serial scammers though. Every mission includes a sidequest to sabacc table for extra cash. Padawans on their first outing be like ‘but I thought the senate was funding this mission’ yes little one but they will ride our arses for every cent so let’s go fleece some rich asshole. He won’t even notice. You know how cops were invented to protect private property? Well jedi are here to protect your everything except your private property. *force tricks an atm into printing free money* that, my very young padawan, is something we call a victimless crime.

imma yammer for a sec and feel free to disagree but I think the reason there's been such a switch in attitude regarding robby within the fanbase is not because of his depression but because of this specifically. In season one we are being introduced to these characters and this world, our grievances are meaningful but ultimately something we are willing to put up with as we expect each coming iteration of the show to grow in quality rather than stagnate. Despite liking robby I was infuriated with him in season 1 over the mckay and false shooter storyline as it gave me the impression we were meant to think of mckay's stance as a woman to be unreasonable and illogical. However I held out hope that with growth and attention to quality this type of writing would be improved upon rather than doubled down. Afterall they had a moment where it seemed like mckay was right for being scared and that pocket of time made me think that the conclusion was not completely out of reach. The writers had to have a level of awareness at the struggles surrounding women, more specifically young girls, and violence from their male peers. There was a spark that robby could be wrong and misguided, making me hope they just needed a nudge to embrace that concept fully in a new season. Afterall many tv shows have to present a clean first season to get approval for a second due to the powers that be within the exec room. Companies want to know your show will uphold their cultural values before they can approve of a second season. Instead, however, in season two we got consistent storylines about the overly emotional women in power who are too illogical to make decisions. Each storyline concludes with the same "robby was right" (ie. man is right) bow tied on top that clearly undermines anyone who was arguing against him. Maybe to the writers this is to show how robby is experienced and well versed, but to most this reads as a misogynistic male fantasy of always having power and control. "A man cannot be a man if he is not right, if he is not powerful and a voice of reason, and a man cannot take any disrespect to his position lying down even if it is justified". For many people who have lived within family dynamics just like this there is a strike at our freedom and hope that we feel. We are hit with a sudden sense of hopelessness and recognition that he is not a misguided ally but a patriarch who will always value his strength over community. Many people who live under patriarchy become numb to it in the sense they know the only freedom they have is within their own minds, allowing them to rebel mentally but not physically. How often do young girls grow up wishing their dad died because of the emotionally tyrannical rule he had over their family, but ultimately coming to the conclusion that that's just what they're meant to feel about men. Men are supposed to be cruel because only the cruel can see the truth without bias or judgement. Robby is another patriarchal man in this instance, he will always be right even when he is wrong because he is a man and that's what men do. we are asked to deny our emotions and doubt our judgement so we may rely on our patriarch for power. Robby has become the dad kids wish would never come home, the force we cannot fight. "This is the most painful truth of male domination, that men wield patriarchal power in daily life in ways that are awesomely life-threatening, that women and children cower in fear and various states of powerlessness, believing that the only way out of their suffering, their only hope is for men to die, for the patriarchal father not to come home. Women and female and male children, dominated by men, have wanted them dead because they believe that these men are not willing to change." - the will to change by bell hooks
