Curate, connect, and discover
people will say they think a certain animal deserves to be tortured and driven to extinction because it exists in a way that they find inconvenient and then expect you to have endless sympathy for their tragic anecdote about how they got stung by a wasp when they were 11 and now as an adult they still haven't gotten over it. bitch i would have stung you too you sound annoying as fuck
Didn't Lizardstripe refuse to give her kits milk, and not care about them bullying Brokenkit? I haven't read the books in a while so I might be remembering wrong, but she seems like somebody who didn't want to be a mother and took it out on the kits consciously and unconsciously
Your memory's just a little bit off; she's mad at Brokenkit for "stealing milk" from her own children.
The way that the writers use Lizardstripe legitimately makes me so angry that I spite-fixed it REALLY hard in my own AU. She isn't JUST abusive, they created a female character whose only personality trait is not wanting to be a mother, and made her evil for it.
There is nothing deeper to the character they wrote. They try to tack on "ambition" to her as ANOTHER reason why she is so awful, but then don't actually show her gunning for any positions of power like Foxheart.
Until the spectacular blunder that is the 7 Fridgenings of DOTC, Lizardstripe was one of the most misogynistic bits of writing in the whole series.
