Padmé and Anakin’s Political Relationship

so I've always had a problem with Padme and anakin's relationship bro I didn't think it was built up all that well but I just realized why this relationship works she has stickers that says BLM My Body my choice ally he does not hang out with any of her friends and she was like I can't believe this has happened this is his second genocide Padme said you just don't know him like I do

A commentator appears over a still of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala from Star Wars, explaining their romance as a relationship between a liberal white woman and her conservative boyfriend. The joke compares Padmé’s progressive stickers and friends with Anakin’s reactionary politics, framing his turn to the dark side as falling down the alt-right pipeline and his destruction of civilizations as his “second genocide.” It is a sarcastic reaction video about political incompatibility and ignoring obvious red flags.

So I've always had a problem with Padme and Anakin's relationship. Bro, hating Christian shit is just staring into my soul right now. But anyway, I didn't really like it. I didn't think it was built up all that well, and I never really felt like these two really liked each other all that much, let alone loved each other. But I just realized why this relationship works. This is a liberal white woman and her conservative boyfriend. She has stickers that says BLM, My Body, My Choice, Ally, and his stickers are of the thin blue line flag. Don't tread on me and just come and take it. He does not hang out with any of her friends because they both hate each other and she knows it so she just keeps them separate. And when he fell down the alt-right pipeline, she was crying and she was like, I can't believe this has happened. This is not the man I fell in love with. And all of her friends were like, Padme, this is his second genocide. Like, we're sorry that you're sad, but we did tell you. Like on more than one occasion, Padme has said, you just don't know him like I do.
