It's fine. I was mostly saying that one can't entirely blame Anakin for what happened. Because true, what he did was awful, but I still believe he's deserving of pity. Just like Obi-Wan is.
I know all of that logically. It's just, it's hard, you know? Because every time I go in search of a meta or a fic that would help me sympathise with Anakin, the trouble is that they always tend to blame Obi-Wan instead which makes me extremely upset because I always take the mentality, "ANAKIN'S CRIMES WERE SO MUCH BIGGER HE KILLED BABIES WHY DO YOU SYMPATHISE WITH HIM AND BLAME OBI-WAN." Irrational, maybe, but that's how I feel and people aren't exactly making it easy for me to feel otherwise.
I feel like the majority of people feel like Anakin is not to blame so therefore Obi-Wan is. I have made the conscious effort in my metas and fics about Obi-Wan not to blame EITHER of them, but sympathise with both but it is very hard to keep that feeling when it feels like I'm the only Obi-Wan fan in a sea of Anakin Apologists. The scales are not tipped in my direction, let me tell you.
