Blackberry was a girl in the series, and now Strawberry is? What on earth is going on?
In the year 2000, the Watership Down fans on the Internet were posting 1000 messages a month on roleplaying groups, and complaining about Blackberry-doe.
Now, over 10 years later, Blackberry-doe is no longer the subject of flamewars, although
some people still like to complain.
I don't know how Strawberry-doe will be handled, but in the end perhaps the only plot change this will require will be for Hazel to say "We only have one doe" instead of "We have no does". I hope everyone will actually give her a chance before deciding whether the change was a good thing, or she should have stayed a buck.
