I’d go into a long boring thing about authorial distance from character actions and the importance of context of 3000 words in a story which fully written would top 75,000 words, but I just don’t care that much about justifying myself. Besides, those transformations are racist as hell, I fully agree. And the character initiating those transformations is *also* racist, also true. The question of whether that means the entire story, which is not available here, and which is also largely unwritten, is also racist is unanswerable.
