tw pedophilia

I haven& #39;t gotten to him yet but the discourse around this cat is weird
Maybe it& #39;s because of how scary grooming is to think about but it& #39;s concerning how many people go "SH isn& #39;t canon" while fandom darling Maple canonically emotionally abused a child but nobody-- https://twitter.com/Jamminonjay/status/1308511752003354625">https://twitter.com/Jamminonj...

-goes "Crookedstar& #39;s Promise isn& #39;t canon" when talking about how much they like her

You all know you can say you like a character as a villain without minimizing the awful shit they did, right?
It doesn& #39;t make you a bad person, you just need to be critical of what you like :/

You should be open about the fact this cat groomed a child

It being poorly written doesn& #39;t magically make what the character did go away
If that was the case, you would have to throw the entire series away at this point

You& #39;re not a bad person if you like Thistleclaw but damn

Stop trying to sweep the pedophilia under the rug, it really feels like you& #39;re trivializing CSA victims when you& #39;re fine talking about murder but the moment the villainous act is grooming, suddenly it doesn& #39;t count

(If you have trauma around Spottedleaf& #39;s Heart that makes you not want it to be canon or talk about Thistleclaw in-depth, this thread doesn& #39;t apply to you. It& #39;s directed at folks employing double standards when it comes to how they discuss their favorite villains)
