I keeping thinking about Witch Hat Ateliers themes around childern. How adults, and by extension community, have an inherent responsibility towards childern, the power inbalance that comes from that and what happens when they fail their responsibilities towards childern.
How WHA is a coming of age story, not of self-identity but of recognizing your part in a larger community. Of growing up and losing your innocents and naivety as you realize the flaws and injustices of society and deciding what to do about it.
Witch Hat Atelier is just kind to childern. It's empowering to them as it recognizes their lack of power and their dependancy while still showcasing how they influence and make the world better.
