Hi! so I always see these tik toks of anakin and padme along with corolanious snow and lucy grey saying liberal girlfriend and republican boyfriend.
First I feel as though the comparison of anidala with snow and lucy grey is incorrect, but the bigger thing is, is that anakin in my view is not a republican.
Ik ur not american so Republicans are conservatives, they tend to be anti government helping people out (this leads to them being racist, classiest, sexist and discrimatory). Liberals are your almost centrist left, but more in the left side. They belive the gov should help to a certain extent and are progressive (though they do end up being lwky not that helpful, but I feel that's a topic that should be discussed with more nuance and time).
What's your thoughts on the whole anakin is the republican boyfriend and padme is the liberal girlfriend?
(Sry this is so long)
people on tiktok exist simply to annoy me with their bad takes on anidala and lenore dove.
& don't apologise for the length! short answer: I think it is a bad faith incorrect american-centric flattening of the tragic mythic romance of anidala.
I kid, but this is something I have addressed before: see here.
The best rebuttal and deconstruction of this flattening take is this post from @eldritchdemigodskywalkers & I also know that @chekhovs-guns has also addressed this.
The tropefication of the ships, I'm afraid!
