this is an extreme example im aware, like hes just a kitty cat and all, but tbh. jayfeather rubs me the wrong way because of how common it is for doctors to mistreat their patients

avos jayfeather would probably make tiktoks mocking his patients and claim freedom of speech when people call him out on it

#like sure he doesn’t outright deny treatment but the way he treated alderheart (who iirc had a confirmed anxiety disorder and was forced #into the position) is just so nasty and over the top. like hes outright told by other characters’’hey lighten up hes obviously struggling’’#and hes just like ‘’um :/ well hes a fucking moron? he deserves it’’ which like. as someone w an anxiety disorder i remember their scenes #just putting me off so much. its part of why i put of shattered sky bc hes just do nasty in the first two books #and yeah you CAN say hes resentful bc of his own disability and family situation but tbh that doesnt make me like him any more #bc hes choosing to take that out on other people including people who are extra vulnerable or in his care #again w yellowfang. she had like one shitty moment w a kid (bc of her own issues regarding brokenstar iirc)#but she also wasn’t actually a doctor by then iirc? and besides that she snarked w cats who could fight back #so it doesnt come across as her being shitty for the hell of it. it provides banter #jayfeathers assholery doesnt supply banter its just uncomfortable and distressing to read most of the time bc hes shitty to his patients #and people (specifically children) talk a lot abt how he distresses them and this is just shown as ‘’ha ha classic jay’’#im not opposed to a character being mean or anything its judt that ur obviously supposed to think hes funny and Real when hes really not #echoed voice #this isnt even mentioning how he was verbally abusive to an orphan and made her believe she wasnt wanted #or how he insulted and yelled at brightheart for getting pregnant when she was obviously worried and seeking medical attention/letting him k #letting him know (and yes he Was worried abt the dark forest but he mostly just doubles down and its not like bright was aware of this)
