Cats are great. If you don't like cats, I don't want to hear about it can we please end the false binary with cats and dogs? You can like both, I promise.
These books were written for kids who loved cats, and who enjoyed imagining what kind of political hierarchies cats might construct for themselves. Even if you weren't already a die-hard cat person, this book made you respect cats and their strict code of honor. Even cat lovers should have a very slight fear of cats. Cats aren't our loyal servants.
They've entered into a mutually beneficial business relationship with the human race, and that's it. The Warrior Cats had their cutesy, cuddly moments, sure, but they could be really violent. Not just killing voles and getting into cat fights like real cats—the Warrior Cats would plot to murder each other and launch all-out military campaigns and doesn't Brightpaw get her face ripped off by dogs at one point?
Graypaw was Ron. Ravenpaw was Neville, I guess. Sandwhatever was Ginny. But mostly, the four clans weren't far off from the four Hogwarts houses: Thunderclan was full of brave cats, Shadowclan was full of shady, power-hungry cats, Riverclan was full of smart cats, Windclan was full of well-meaning cats who got bullied sorry, Hufflepuff. And Bluestar was a total crockpot mentor with a secret past like Dumbledore.
The several authors behind the pseudonym of Erin Hunter did not skimp on details. We could have intense playground discussions on the naming conventions of the four clans, the lineage of various kits, and the contested territory of Sunning Rocks. Each book came equipped with a map and a Game-of-Thrones-style character list, so you wouldn't mix up Runningbrook from Windclan with Runningnose from Shadowclan.

This title contains: Positive Messages. Had useful details. Read my mind. Adult Written by maizey April 22, I loved them all through middle school and was just absolutely obsessed.
They were so good. Recently, I found one of these books from middle school in my house and read some parts. And I realized that I still love them. They are quite easy reads to me now, obviously, but they're still interesting and really good. I would, although, recommend these books to kids who are more advanced in reading. Some words may not be easily comprehended or understood, so there is that warning. But other than that, they are a great read. Adult Written by beaniebooisland August 9, The Best!

Adult Written by Icestar September 3, Awesome series Some violence, but nothing as bad as the secret of nimn, which is not bad at all.

August 22, Movie or tv series I think they should try it. Parent Written by TFos February 14, Great books for kiddos I think these books were an excellent addition for my 8 year old daughter. We were reading these longer chapter books together and then suddenly she just took off and wanted to read them on her own.
She finishes about one a week and kept going until she has hit the third series now. Its not because of violence. Read the review.
The only reason I didn't put it up there is because parts will be boring for them. Scenes with dog-clawed cats and evil badgers. But this is a great series. Especially popular subjects include celebrities, furries and TikTok users who take the app seriously. Teenagers are especially poised for this kind of mockery.
Not only did our generation of teens grow up with shows that often relied on cringe for comedy like The Office and Modern Family, but the cringe phenomenon is often directed at socially-awkward scenarios, which makes for a rocky explosion when combined with the strong social pressures for teenagers to blend into the crowd.
To take the heat off the constant need to blend in, teenagers often turn to others as a point of mockery. Sure, I may struggle with this, but at least I am not that person. Thus, those who do not conform, whether that is because they have interests considered age-inappropriate, or poor social skills, or act in ways that seem unfounded and bizarre, are often mocked and put down upon by their peers.
The fans who are not children are enjoying a book series meant for children. This makes the series and its fans a prime target of cringe culture. The cringe response is an evolutionary feature. Cavemen, if alone, were far more likely to die than they were when with their peers. Our brains therefore evolved to encourage conforming social behaviors while discouraging behaviors that might alienate oneself from the crowd, out of the fear of being alone.
It is, in fact, based on an empathy response meaning our brains emulate what the person we are seeing is feeling : Our brains recognize the embarrassment on behalf of the embarrassing person, and we feel it for the embarrassing person. Aditi Murdi, writing for The Swaddle, sums up exactly what goes on in our heads when we cringe at something.
Now, the contempt or compassion involved in this empathy response is dependent upon the personal experience of the person experiencing cringe, and how they process embarrassment.
Cringe content exists exclusively for people to laugh at, or feel contempt for. What does this mean? When we cringe, we are feeling the emotions that we would feel if we were in place of the unappealing person.
So when we feel contempt or mockery for that person, as is the case in cringe culture, it means we would feel the same contempt towards ourselves if we were the embarrassing one. So, in reality, that feeling of mockery is self-hatred and insecurity in disguise. Many of these insecurities and feelings of scorn are further propelled by societal bigotries we may not even be fully aware of.
Consider, for example, how many television shows and movies use the idea of a man wearing a dress for comedy. Why are we often meant to laugh in these situations?
This instills in us the idea that men wearing dresses are to be laughed at and mocked, and that if we ourselves are men wearing dresses, we too should be mocked. It extends to other bigotries, too. I myself am autistic, and I feel that I have faced bullying because of it. If you were to ask those who bullied me if it was because I was autistic, however, they would tell a different story. They would say that it had nothing to do with me being autistic.
Instead, they would say, it was because I was too loud, or did not have good social skills, or had weird interests that I talked too much about, or because I did not have strong physical skills. All of these traits are, after all, common denominators in cringe culture. But the issue is that all of those things are traits that stem directly from my autism diagnosis. Autistic people cannot control how loud our voices are as well as our neurotypical peers can. We tend to struggle with social skills.
We have specific interests that we are deeply passionate for and often cannot control, resulting in often unusual fields of interest. One of those interests, for me, is Warrior Cats. We tend to lack the physical coordination that our neurotypical peers master. We are trained from a young age to fear and mock these traits, because they are different from the norm stem from a condition that is frowned upon by society.
That is the thing about cringe culture. It does not explicitly target marginalized communities, instead, it targets them in all but name.
