What Are You Talking About? They Absolutely Do!

I'm just so taken aback.

It's like learning that someone compares the experiences of deaf children to Snowkit, as the correct context in which we should read his story.

And not, as a cat, being born with a defect that inhibits your ability to do the thing you were bred for— which is to contribute to a society that values rearing as many children as possible specifically to have soldiers to defend their territory, resources, and colony with.

Purposefully anthromorphisizing and decontextualizing the characters from the worldbuilding and context they were originally viewed in, in order to make an issue out of nothing is just— baffling to me.

Even with Snowkit, Brackenfur and Speckletail's messaging is not— Snowkit is a valuable member of our Clan, whether or not he can hear— It's 'I can personally train him to be a soldier so he can fulfill his societal role in ThunderClan'.

The cats of ThunderClan are at war. They are fighting not to starve, not to die.

Why would you remove the context of them being cats?

I'm actually very excited about Swiftpaw and Longtail being brothers! They always had a sort of 'brotherly bond' dynamic in my eyes, so it's nice to see that being added in for the graphic novel adaptation. It just feels right.

Scrolling through the Malevolent tag and I'm so happy to see that Kayne is so many people's favorite character. I love him so much. (John is my close second favorite).

With Antoine following in third—

Gonna try again 🔥🔥

Saw that #jumblr was trending. I have no idea what it is but I immediately went and made this edit. Enjoy.

I never had an issue with 'age gaps' in Warriors because they're cats.

At no point in Warriors does anyone say, 'I think Onestar being mates with Whitetail is a symptom of a major issue in our society'.

—As it stands, the world building is that it's acceptable in their society.

The world building is that the cats are ok with it.

They are in no way analogous to real people unless you're looking to ignore the fact that the books are about cats and not people.

Ferncloud and Dustpelt, for instance, were thinking about being mates long before Fernpaw had even received her warrior name.

If you compare this to a human relationship, yes, that would absolutely not be ok. But, again, they're cats. They're not humans.

I can't wait until it gets here. I can't believe I have another four days to wait.
