 * ... While I see where you come from, I personally believe that calling the nekos from Nekopara 'second class citizens' is an incorrect assumption and as such feel the need to correct your misguided classification on their standing in society. While I wholeheartedly agree that the catgirls face major discrimination and dehumanization based on our human standards, I think that we need to get something set straight about if the nekos themselves are even considered citizens at all.


 * For simplicity's purpose, the definition of 'citizen' that I will be using is "a legally recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth, either native or naturalized." Now that I have established that, we shall begin to dig into the facts about why the nekos of Nekopara are not 'second class citizens' and why they are not even citizens to begin with. You see a major part being a citizen implies being a 'legally recognized subject' and as you might know the nekos of Nekopara are not actually human, but instead are catgirls, with that in mind, it can be assumed the the term 'citizen' does not extend to nonhuman entities such as catgirls. Evidence that the catgirls are not actually humans, lies in the fact that the nekos in Nekopara cannot produce offspring with humans, and their abnormal growing rate.


 * For further proof of the catgirls not being citizens we can look towards the clear sexual catpanionships that takes place in the society of Nekopara, in which nekos of very young ages are performing sexual acts with their masters. Now as I'm sure you know, if a human were to have sexual relations with a human of the same age as one of the characters in Nekopara, they would be without a doubt in major legal trouble. Now this does raise a major question about if it is then considered bestiality to have sexual intercourse with nekos, and I regretfully must say that most likely sexual intercourse between human and neko is bestiality due to them not being human which is very disappointing. However we could hope that the governments of the world in Nekopara decide to make an exception for nekos. But even if having sexual interactions with the catgirls is bestiality, Japan in our world currently has no laws against bestiality (where Nekopara takes place), meaning that Kashou is legally in the clear. If somehow catgirls from Nekopara who are not considered humans were added to this world, I would strongly recommend moving to a country without bestiality laws if your current country doesn't either adapt to allow catpanionships or support bestiality.


 * With those facts laid in front of us, we can proudly proclaim that nekos in Nekopara are not human, and as such are not citizens, and by that same logic not second class citizens.
