Why is the fandom so obsessed with making clones out to Actually Be Children™ as if they’re aren’t literally grown men with fly developer minds and bodies that just happened to grow faster than everyone else.

They’re gone through all the necessary emotional development to make them healthy young adults (as far as healthy can go in their situations). They’ve had fights and disagreements and probably even crushes on some of the drill sergeants. Can we please stop acting like they’re secretly all little kids at heart just because they’re 10-12 years old?

Any roughhousing or child-like actions would likely just be because their jobs are so stressful, and this is one of the least stressful ways to relax. They’re not going to be looking at the Jedi like they’re their parents or smthn jsyk. They’re adults. They’re grown.

#THIS #holy fuck i get so sick of them being treated as children#the infantilization is gross in so many ways#not least of which is how poc and esp poc men were and still are infantilized as a dehumanization tactic#anyways#the clones will roughhouse and the like yes. but that’s because they’re 24 yr men and 24yr old men do that#q

as a 24 year old man, I can confirm this.
