My honest reaction: oooaaaaaaauhhh

Link cuz I’m not a lib (beware: unmarked spoilers): https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/WarriorCats

rant with spoilers for the Warrior Cats books

So bad on multiple levels: the conception of the US as a place accepting of “diversity and outcasts”, ShadowClan as a flat, generic, enemy camp like what liberals think soypoint-1 russia-cool soypoint-2 is, WindClan as Great Britain probably solely based on the “”“special relationship”“” that ThunderClan and WindClan had that only existed in the short time between just prior to the battle with BloodClan and shortly after Tallstar’s death (historical blip), or that what ThunderClan does in its interactions with other clans (generally cat geopolitics on an equal footing) is similar to what the US does (imperialism), and so on and so on zizek-theory

But the person who wrote that could have been an actual child so it’s whatever lol

Don’t look up the USSR on TVtropes, worst mistake of my life

    You would never guess who these dehumanized villains remind me of. That’s right, our geopolitical enemies and the victims of our imperialism.

    TVTropes pages for real things/people are like Wikipedia but just for that cognitive bias where we seek to narrativize our experiences.
