As all 9f y9u may 9r may n9t 6e aware, I have recently c9me int9 c9ntact with the heiress apparent 9f Alternia, (TW: t9talitarianism, m9narchy, class 9ppressi9n, vi9lence, un6alanced p9wer dynamics, culling culture, caste 9ppresi9n) Previ9usly, I t99k it up9n myself t9 tut9r the y9ung, pr9mising individual she seemed t9 6e keen 9n 6l9ss9ming int9. Her views 9n the hem9spectrum and equality, in particular, were very well-intenti9ned, even if even she had tendencies t9 6lunder int9 pr96lematic territ9ry. Unf9rtunately f9r 69th Alternia and the idea 9f pr9gress, as I accepted her as a faithful disciple, I've disc9vered, fr9m her firsthand s9urce, that she-- (TW: hem9ph96ic slurs, unchecked privilege, hem9ph96ia, MACR9aggressi9ns,) "a6s9lutely HAT--ES all l9w6l99ds!!" This is extremely disapp9inting t9 see in a seemingly inn9cu9us ruler, 6ut, like many 'inn9cent' c9mments, I supp9se that when y9u really think a69ut it fr9m a different paradigm and check y9ur privilege, it's a wh9le w9rld 9f Pr96lematics. I h9pe that Feferi Peixes, in time, c9mes t9 mature as a y9uth and check her privilege, and disc9ver the appalling pitfall she's stum6led headl9ng int9. (TW: a6leism.)
