I cannot begin to tell you how fucking vindicated my twelve year old, Warrior Cats obsessed, Ashfur-hating self is after reading this write up, lol. The first internet argument I ever had was over this incel kitty. Got my first ever ban, from the Official Warrior Cats Forums^TM, over him, too. I never understood how anyone could find him sympathetic, let alone hot (yes, tween girls unironically found a cat hot, and no, I'm pretty sure most of them weren't furries). Over fifteen years later, and... yeah I still don't get it, lol.
Also, for anyone who's wondering WTF a kid's series about cats is doing having such a dark plot line: this is pretty much par the course for Warriors. I've heard it described as "Game of Thrones for tween girls", which is pretty bang-on. War crimes, child murder, torture, graphic depicitions of childbirth (err, kittenbirth) and gruesome battle wounds, adult themes like infidelity and emotional abuse discussed at length, and that's just the stuff I remember from the first arc off the top of my head, fifteen years later!
