Common Creme Republic and denizens misconceptions.
Common misconceptions list I created to help people understand the Creme Republics lore better.
Here are my current corrections. I might reblog this post to add if anyone reminds me of more.
The Cookie racism in the republic is classism coded racism.
The focus is classism between salty and vanilla cookies and there is only racist undertones.
The cookie racism in the republic has nothing to do with actual dough color.
(I find it disgusting when people headcannon that the republic would be racist towards Cacoaians.)
No cookies in the republic or the entire franchise are homophobic. Yes, you can headcannon that, but they would never would actually be in cannon.
Custard didnt steal the souljams nor had a nefarious reason to keep pvs's.
Custard doesn't abuse Light Cream.
He's at most implied to be her acquaintance.
Custard is not the main villain of the republic. Millie and Canele are. Millie tried to steal the soul jams, and Canele is arguably the most racist one to hurt salty cookies and embezzel. House Custard has currently done more positive things for salty cookies than bad. Ei uniting the two sides to create the council.
Honorable mention to Sable to being the 2nd arguably racist one. She insults Salty cookies unprovoked and stands openly against them. Unlike all the other members that are still in the council.
It's uncomfirmed if our current elders started the cookie classism and, therefore, how long it's actually been going on for.
Elder Custard didn't say slurs. Sea dog doesn't have enough evidence to be a slur, and it is a real-life term used on sailors. And means experienced sailor. Unlike "flasters," which are made up and much more charged. And insulting dough is not an exclusively salty thing. Ei Custard has insulted Clotteds before. While he still insulted Caviar and Oyster, he did not say slurs to them.
Mulled Juice isn't a great person. For example when asked for help he was more focused on his personal invention.(that was unimportant) This inconsiderate when the entire Republic is on the line. Of course he isnt evil but I'd imagine neutrally grey. Every Elder has their own flaws.
Oyster isn't a house that supports salty cookies. Oyster is the richest house and has done nothing currently to advocate as of right now for salty cookies, unlike caviar.
Caviar, his crew, Lord Oyster and abalone cookie are all sailors not pirates.
Lord Oyster never had nefarious reasons to betray or sell White pearls Pearl. His house would've fallen if he didn't and the rest of his family (that havent already died) would've suffered.
Blackpearl most likely can't tolerate land cookies in her current corrupted state.
(I think It'd be interesting to see an au where she is able to become uncorrupted... and become freinds or shipped with land cookies!!))
Also honorable mention to remember she is villian and has killed probably hundreds if not thousands of sailors over the years.
Abalone and Oyster cookie would not be relevant in current times. Mermaids tale is an old tale told most likely told to children. IE Sorbet and Pep telling the tale. And none of our current cookies would think much about it. Also most likely house Abalone would not be seen as a vilianized house.
Abalone isn't wimpy.
No idea where this came from but dude litterally died because he wanted to be more greedy. Opposite of wimpy.
That about wraps it up for now tell me if I missed anything.
