I Think My Issue With It Is That There Never Seems To Be Any Long Lasting Consequence To It, Or An Acknowledgment

I think my issue with it is that there never seems to be any long lasting consequence to it, or an acknowledgment that their bigotry is bad, anymore. Or at least it happens less. The last strong examples of it not being ok was with the sisters, Scourge, and Darktail, at least to me. But Onestar’s confession kind of damaged the latter. It feels like it would be something interesting to go into; cats outside the clans aware of the prejudice, at least moderately. That aside, you’re entirely right.

Bigotry is not supposed to make sense

That’s what bugs me most about Brushpaw and Melody as additions to the lore. Onewhisker doesn’t need a reason for not accepting kittypets to balance out his respect for Firestar.

Being anti-foreigners is not a position with pros and cons. It is a prejudice. Code and clan culture creates this bias and instills it in the warrior cats, in spite of any evidence to the contrary.

Look who it is!

We need an Au where Hollyleaf actually murks Leafpool and has to deal with the consequences. Ashfur tried to off her and her siblings. Leafpool was mostly innocent.

….yeah not a big fan of Holly for the whole deathberry thing. Can you tell?

That escalated quickly did I just summon Warrior cats fans?

Mapleshade’s story mirrors Bluestar’s…but also technically Graystripe’s. Thunder/River relationships between cats who thought they could have their cakes and eat it too.

Wanna add that’s not an insult to any of the cats I mentioned.

*BUSTS THE DOOR DOWN*

Mum said it’s my turn to make an exe.

Hear me out: Dark Forest Frecklewish but she sees herself as a necessary evil. Maybe strikes a deal with MapleShade to help bring StarClan down to its knees in a way that humbles it instead of destroying it. In return, Maple gets to see her kits.

After all, StarClan is a flawed system if they let Rainflower and ASHFUR in, who almost wrecked everything, and yet put Freckle in the place of no stars.
