anyways if ur stressed about all that don't be. I think a lot of this is coming from non-Indians and def non-fans. I don't wanna be The Voice for that stuff so im not gonna be that kind of stuff Stresses Me Out but I, Nmirah, Am Native American (Métis/Cree specifically), and I am a fan of the series. Not just a nostalgic fan but an active fan. Trying to sus out exactly what "makes the books racist" is a nitpicky and negative way to look at a book series designed for children. I resonated with these books as a kid, and as an adult I can definitely see some things as racist of course, but it is NOT a bastardization of Native Culture. At least not to me, I only speak for myself.
There are some things that do scream appropriation of course - but all you need to do is acknowledge it. It's not made with malice, it's not using slurs or belittling the culture. The thing about the titles (i.e., medicine cat) is that we don't fucking call our people that - those are English terms! The names of the cats - yeah, sometimes that makes me uncomfortable. But I'm pretty sure it's a coincidence, not malice. There is nothing good about the Tribe of Rushing Waters, but the clans are way more steeped in English culture than Native American, and I think it's ignorant to claim otherwise. Warrior Cats is usually a respite from real world bullshit for me and this all is making me more uncomfortable than the series ever did!

Do you have an opinion on the whole BrambleSquirrel controversy? It's been so long since I read the books and I thought calling the ship abusive was a stretch, but now I don't know anymore? I mena maybe I just didn't see it bc I was young at the time? Everyone seems convinced it's the most toxic ship in the series and I don't know if I should like/reblog cute fanart anymore djghdfjkgf
Ah well. I know there’s a moonkitti vid about it but I’m not about to watch that, but I’m p sure that’s where it all comes from!
TBH, this is just my opinion, the relationship isn’t wholly like... fine... BUT not just from Bramble’s end I mean both of them kinda suck for each other! they also work things out when they need to and DO love each other and I think that’s neat! 
ofc it’s WARRIOR CATS so people read between the lines a lot since we don’t get a lot of development from these characters usually. Sometimes people read an unhealthy relationship and say that it’s abusive and they can think what they want, honestly. I read Jayfeather being an ass as him being depressed and consider that a headcanon, and I can have fun and diagnose him as such but it doesn’t mean he canonically has depression that’s just how I relate to him. What it comes down to I think is that a popular wc youtuber had an opinion and made a video about it and now people are taking that opinion and running with it. Honestly that’s all fine until people start bullying others for like... liking Bramblestar or thinking their relationship is cute - there was nothing in the books to cause that turnaround it is purely fan speculation and THAT is what breeds a toxic environment. I still think they’re cute! Neither Squirrelflight nor Brambleclaw are perfect little angels, but I’m also not and neither are you. It’s totally, absolutely fine to be critical of it, just... don’t use what amounts to a theory/speculation/armchair diagnosis as a way to bully people for liking the wrong dang cat in a kid’s series!
SO reblog that ship art! Draw them being happy! I do not find an issue with it, nor do I think anybody else should! People can, SHOCKINGLY have different takes on things, and it does not make you a bad person or something ridiculous like that <3
