if i may be a little mean… i think the reason spottedleaf’s feelings come across as a “retcon” is because the erins didn’t care enough about her on her own to outright have her say “yes i love fireheart back”

#totally get people wanting to make her better and erase that gross element of her character #but like……. idk dude. you gotta remember that starclan was different and cryptic in tpb #she gives him a life for love. like. i think the erins did intend for her to like him back #its a case where you gotta take the bigger picture into account w female characters having no agency #im not saying this to be like ‘’you cant like her or make her better’’#but bc im kinda seeing the sentiment that like. youre misogynistic if you dont like her or hate that part of her character?#and like…. look i get it. im the first to say the wc fandom is misogynistic.#but at the same time i think people have the right to be uncomfortable with her character and not get told theyre bad people for it #and ftr i give the exact same treatment to thistleclaw. yes his plotline was a retcon that should be discarded bc its disgusting #but people have to right to completely write him out of aus and not discuss him for their own comfort
