if they wrote his name like mole-star? people make a big deal about not wanting molewhisker as leader because molestar looks like bad word (i dont wanna write it here, not even in a spoiler tag).
out of the non-firekin options for leader, molewhisker is my favorite option.
i honestly think he, cherryfall, and stormcloud should become deputy/leader because i am sick and tired of firekin being in power and being the most important and most developed. give some of that to daisykin. daisykin have been screwed over so much that i am going to demand mole or cherry become leader...
plus, there would also be a chance of molewhisker not getting a forced mate or kits because of his previous disinterest in kits in AVOS.
non-firekin should be put in power to even the odds. im sick of firekin and firestar's whole legacy stealing the spotlight from other characters in other families.

Molewhisker was cool in AVoS. I really don't have a problem with his name being Molestar, honestly.

Wait, people have a problem with his name being Molestar? i've seen it often enough to assume thats the main reason some people dont want him as leader for some reason. idk how big an issue it is as a whole across other platforms.

Molestar is not a bad name nor do the writers need to edit it just to keep the baby people from reading something else. No, I would not like it, it's unnecessary for that very reason. I want him to be deputy then leader, don't let a name that isn't even a problem to begin with ruin it for us.
If ya'll seriously resort to reading his name like that, that is all but a YOU problem more than anything regarding his name. :///

Just like Maple x Crystal, I've literally never seen this before, either. I don't know, maybe I'm just not active in the fandom on other sites to notice these things. But yeah, his name is fine. And I think he'd be a pretty decent leader, too.

I don't like the name, it's just weird to me. Plus, if someone has been put through some sort of trauma that's related to the stigma around Molewhisker's potential leader name, it might be hard to read. Just make someone else leader.

I’ve really only mentioned the Molestar thing it after seeing someone else bring it up. Prior to that, I hadn’t even considered it. I thought it was an issue but I guess it isn’t? I don’t know because I keep seeing conflicting stuff.
Anyways he’s still a top leader/deputy pick for me. He’d be really good at it. And best of all, he’s NOT FIREKIN!!

Why shuck a perfectly good cat as a leader choice just because of someone might read his name the wrong way though?

I wouldn’t mind whether he becomes deputy or leader, I would like to see that.

I literally have never thought of or mistaken Molestar for a different word. Molestar is a valid name, and he’s proven to have good leadership skills, has trained more than one apprentice, is at a perfect age for leadership and is a rare non-firekin. He’s honestly the best option in my opinion, as they can do almost anything with him and give him so much potential as a new, fresh and possibly sassy leader. That would be fun.

I’ve heard about the problem with Molestar before, but honestly I don’t see it? I never would’ve thought of that if it hadn’t been previously pointed out, and I honestly doubt most people would. I could be wrong I guess, but I just personally don’t really see it. I would, however, HATE for his name to be “Mole-star” because frankly that looks terrible to me in the context of the Warriors universe where they generally don’t do this (yes, I hate White-eye/One-eye’s name being written like this too). I would like Molewhisker to be leader though, just please no hyphens.

I'd prefer Molestar over Mole-star. It'd mess up the warrior names and may cause even more attention to that bad word if something different and distinctive is being done to that name.

The name Molestar is not a problem for me but I wouldn't want Molewhisker to be leader as there are more interesting choices, at least in my opinion.

It wasn’t a problem for me until it was pointed out. To be honest, I don’t really care what they do with his name. If it’s hyphenated because I could be misread, it’s fine with me. I’m honestly expecting it, because his name in Spanish directly translates to the word that everyone’s mistaking his name to be (which I assume is molest). So they would have to do something there to not have people cringing every time they read his name. And if there’s enough similarity for people with other languages to recognize it, then it makes sense to have clarification.

To be fair, that word in spanish tends to mean simply “to bother” or “to disturb”, not really the route that everyone would first take it. So even then, it’s not really a word with the kind of context even if it’s spelled that way. At least, from what I’ve learned in Spanish.

I doubt anyone who actually reads the books on a regular basis would even perceive a problem with the name Molestar, but these books are written to make money off of parents of small children-- most of whom don't actually read the books and just flip through the pages checking for "inappropriate" content, and the publishers are probably too afraid that a significant character named Molestar will trigger the "inappropriate content" alarm in helicopter parents.
I doubt they'll hyphenate it. Probably Molewhisker is just forbidden by the gods from becoming leader.

This is entirely accurate, and there's also really no need to bring Spanish into this, especially when there's a completely different word for mole in said language altogether. I really doubt anyone in any language will actually read it as the other thing. And if anything, I personally find it kind of funny to read the name Molestar as "to bother", but it's also something I'm not likely think about often. We know how the naming system works. It's fine.

Also with the whole "Molestar" thing, I doubt people will be very happy if the Erins pointed it out because then you can never unsee it.
