[P] I love this video because it illustrates what I was talking about the other day.
How all of the following is true for most people: otherness is a kludge; all otherness is otherness; and all otherness deserves suffering. And fuck anyone who doesn't believe this, because it's real. Tbe majority can be entertained by suffering if that suffering is an other. It makes it acceptable, palatable.

[P] In Wings of Fire, there can't exist othering because with every species or culture, there are both good and bad examples. Darkstalker is evil, sure. So are all NightWings an evil other? Nope. Starflight, Fatespeaker, the ironically nmaed Deathbringer, and many others are kind, decent, and just. Tui diesn't allow the reader to signify a group as other. Now, compare this with how dragons are handled in D&D.
