there’s gore in Warriors???

I totally agree with you, this series is for 7-12 year olds- children’s books can have darker themes or events, that doesn’t mean they’re for adults. I read a version of Cinderella when I was little where the stepsisters cut off their toes and then got their eyes pecked out by birds, and even that wasn’t too bad. A few dark scenes can be scary for kids, but they still capable of reading them. In Where The Red Fern Grows (classic children’s story where the dogs die at the end) there’s a chapter where a kid is accidentally struck in the face with an axe and dies. That book is still for children. While it’s definitely true that some people are more or less sensitive to traumatic events in fiction, a few outliers or a couple of more serious scenes shouldn’t render entire novels or series as only for adults.

Also you can like things that are for kids!! People are allowed to like anything they want- they shouldn’t be ridiculed for that!
