I put two and two together while seeing a video on this series and I just about shit myself. I'm glad I never had to go through ABA. That is some prime fridge horror IMO.

** It gets worse. This kind of training with the bell is similar to Applied Behavioral Analysis, a type of psychological intervention which is notable for [[https://childmind.org/article/controversy-around-applied-behavior-analysis/ being intensely controversial. This is because it has a history of being used on autistic/ADHD/otherwise neurodivergent individuals, with an emphasis on getting the receiver to HIDE any behavior that is seen as atypical.]] [[https://www.spectrumnews.org/features/deep-dive/controversy-autisms-common-therapy/ In short, it hides who you are according to critics, and the methods used for it have been described as cruel, abusive, and overbearing.]] Autism Speaks - an organization infamous for how it demonizes autism as a destructive disease which must be eradicated, to the disgust of the autistic community - promotes it. ''Really think about that for a second, and what it means for catgirls growing up.''

* An ID card with a serial number, similar to a Social Security card would make a lot more sense than a bell. If a Neko forgets their bell/card, they could recite the serial number to a police officer, who could simply look it up.

* The neko's status as second class citizens actually makes sense, based on the mechanics of this universe that have been revealed so far. The bell test is a good example. What is required to pass the bell test? A demonstration that a neko understands the world at least on an elementary school level. Nekos may have human level intelligence, but it's closer to a child's intelligence than an adult's. With that comes poor impulse control, gullibility, and a lot of potential danger. That said this brings up a whole other can of worms in the form of child labor laws, and I'm not even going to touch the 18+ stuff.

Since they age faster than humans, that means that they're probably in constant pain thanks for the fact that the human body never meant to condense 18 years of growth into a single one at best. And this also means that they probably have to deal with their mortality sooner than we, humans do.

** Adding for the inferiority of the nekos, if you really think about it, they're just glorified slaves. I mean, while I only played with the first one, I got the feeling that they were mainly sold and bought instead of willingly choosing to move into human households.

* The premise of the series is about catlike humanoids living alongside humans. While this just seems like an excuse to write about a world where {{Cat Girl}}s exist, the fact that the cat girls are still raised and owned by human masters and can't go anywhere without them until they earn bells to wear is actually kind of unsettling if you think about it; this basically implies that despite having human intelligence, they're considered an inferior species to humans. The creator of the series seems to be aware of this to some extent, as she's asked people not to think too hard about the premise and just enjoy the cute cat girls.

* Maple's attire (both winter and summer) resembles a school uniform similar to which pop idols wear. Given that she is the only one Shigure allows to choose her own clothes, and this occurred after she decided to give up on that "kittenhood dream," it shows that she still has a desire to be a great singer.

* Most cats are considered to be adults at about a year old. One debatable exception is Maine Coons, which grow very fast yet can continue to grow (albeit in smaller increments) up until they are four years old in some cases. So it's no surprise that Coconut, who is a one-year-old Maine Coon, would feel some conflict between technically being an adult yet still having "kitten-like" desires.
