One of the things I’m rlly loving about Witch Hat is how it’s not shying away from the idea that law enforcement exists to maintain the status quo & systems of power, not to protect the people; in fact this is a trait explicitly shown in even our more emphasized/“sympathetic” fantasy-cop characters, the primary one being introduced by assaulting and attempting to erase the memories of our 12 yr old girl protagonist. It’s def not something I anticipated at all, and I’m enjoying it a lot! Especially when those little girl protags explicitly point out how unfair the system is & how it punishes victims rather than helping them

#reading.🌧 witch hat atelier #very very cool!!!#this brought to u by oru’s question of cop guy’s claim that he protects magic #‘is it for the sake of magic or for the sake of witches’#exactly!!!#magic in this world is something that COULD be available to all #but is instead hoarded #and the only difference between someone allowed to use it vs not allowed to use it #is luck wrt the circumstances of their birth #KDNFKSJF #me vs my incessant need to analyze all media through a Marxist lens—
