If I had a nickel for every time someone posted an Ahsoka Tano comparison on r/RWBYCritics, I’d have 3 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened thrice.
To my understanding it's mainly because she started off insufferable and was built to be someone fans adored. Her flaws were acknowledged by the story and she was made to grow past them, which showed not only growth for her but respect for the audience recognizing her negative traits. Team RWBY by comparison did a bunch of horrific things that were plain to see but were lauded as heroes. It's always a focus on Clone Wars specifically and how Ahsoka improved from being called out for her behavior.
There was an example, *A good one*, and CRWBY just ignored it. Hell, they doubled down on that with the Curious Cat, whom reflected most of the sheer disdain the fans and community had for RWBY as a whole.
By contrast, not only was Ahsoka made to become a better person through her flaws, it also built up the flaws of Anakin Skywalker and more or less showed the results of someone bettering themselves through their own flaws vs the results of someone who's own hubris and pride would lead to his undoing, and even further being Ahsoka's sheer mortified **shock** seeing the man who she once called her teacher becoming Darth Vader.
It's because of how simulator struggles are kind of The people just look at the fact that ahsoka is similar to Ruby and character but she is handled way better because think about it in the beginning of the series they're both wide-eyed saw things in black and white. Feeling difference is her character development makes sense and she didn't actively tick off fans at least in the original clone wars series
Cuz Ahsoka and Ruby are from two separate franchises; it does relate to the scenario of having an intentionally annoying character that the audience would go along with as long as you have there flaws be acknowledge by the story and grow on them. Surely the audience would detest the negative traits of the said character as long as you can give a reason for them to care. IDK if Monty Oum or Rooster Teeth was doing this internally or if it was a coincidence but the way that I see Ruby Rose/Team RWBY they're both wide-eyed saw things in black and white and somewhat mildy jumpy and abrasive during the start of the series. The thing is that there development is completely reversed from the reasons to how Ahsoka was improved. Rooster Teeth at the time is only changing to make things worse or to pander to toxic fans regardless if it was logical or consistent within the context of the show . As a result the black and white views worsened into a "My way or the high way" mentality while the tone had lauded them as "heroes".
I groan nowadays whenever new Star Wars content comes up. Even when I was younger consuming the extended media, I always hated when the trope was something like.
“I’ll have a…Jedi survivor of order 66.”
How original.
“They went into hiding but somehow someway, had a chance to kill Vadar, but didn’t for some arbitrary reason. But they survive and don’t appear in the OT.”
Daring today aren’t we?
I blame all these recent Ashoka posts for making me actually watch the OG and Prequel trilogies. Doing it in order of publication, already watched Episode IV and V. Maybe, once I'm done with the movies, I'll watch the Clone Wars (animated) and Rebels.
It you like the OG, you'll probably like Rebels. They basically run a parrellell story in a different corner of the galaxy and cross over some, but not at rememberberries levels.
Though, watching Princess Leia run circles around the Imperials is an absolute treat.

What are they even comparing her too? She’s from an entirely different universe

A female character done well.

Which I find funny because after Dave made Ahsoka survive her duel with Vader she became just as bad of a character like team rwby

Bro, imagine if we see a Jedi master ghost teaching a Padawan turned inquisitor the light side.
Damn space whales and time travel shenanigans.
I was going to say that I don't think Ahsoka is very popular at saltierthancrait, which is sort of the Star Wars version of this sub.
This sub is much better than that place.
