I feel like you can’t read KOTLC and be racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, pro ice, pro maga, or pro Trump, pro AI, pro Israel, and etc
Let me say this before people take this out of context. You can believe whatever you want to believe. You can stand for whatever you want because that’s YOUR decision.
(But highkey if you do support anything I listed pls unfollow me. I am sadly not the type to ignore political opinions. Political opinions say a lot about you as a person and I don’t feel comfortable with people following me and being friends with me when highkey they’re supporting dehumanizing me and stripping my rights. Please and thank you)
You can’t read KOTLC and have delusions that the elves would be by your side. They would not be. They’re quite literally doing the opposite of what they stand for. They aren’t meant to be discriminatory. Not to mention Sophie Foster is technically an immigrant by moving from the human lands to the elf lands. She would not nor would any of the other elves support Ice or anything else I listed. They might not agree with EVERYTHING (sexuality wise cuz the elves just hate genuine love) but they doesn’t mean they would be parading and hate crime you. Thats insane. They said what they stood for in the first book and you can see it throughout the series.
I see a lot of Christian’s preaching about the Bible without truly understanding the scriptures. Elves wouldn’t believe in Christianity because, EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME, they’re not religious!!! Religion is only something you see in the human worlds. So for religious people to throw in their verses and say “hmmm actually that’s sinful! And for Shannon to write that in the elf world is-“ Yeah to you. Not the elves pookie wookie bear. If you’re reading a book about love and ur first thought is “oh ew what would jesus say” 🧍 pls unfollow me rn. Shannon is writing a book about being different and learning to love yourself even if the world is against it. It’s showing the discriminations of how love is being used for intellectual purposes (whether self love or romantic) than emotional purposes. That’s why there is a gap in the lost cities. That’s where there’s conflict. She’s quite literally telling us that it’s the people who are different, who stand up for what they believe in, whether or not society agrees with them, because it’s the right thing to do. To stand up with the underdogs. To fight for the right to love and live and be WHO you are.
Dont project your close minded propaganda on communities where it’s preaching the opposite.
