I find it very funny how in BB Thistle Law is a political stance and there are cats named Thistle. Imagine naming your baby fascismkit

To be fair they do have a ton of words for various thistles in Clanmew; directly translated, Thistle Law would be Code Bull-Thistle.

Thistleheart of WindClan has a sad story behind her name; it's Marshthistle Heart-will-beat. Her mom Gorsetail gave her the suffix as a secret nod to her RiverClan father, and then Beechfur ghosted the hell out of them and moved on with another Graymist lmao

But yeah using Bullthistle in names these days is a little sus. It's not an INSTANT damnation but... do you have an appreciation of the role of a key foodsource of certain pollinators and seed-eating birds, or are you trying to make a statement to the Mi claiming Queen’s Rights you're in the nursery with?

The insidious nature of dogwhistles is exactly that there's plausible deniability. If it stops having a double meaning it stops being a dogwhistle and just becomes a slogan.
