Hunger Games is about revolutionary anti-imperial class struggle

George Lucas said the Empire is inspired by America and the Rebels by the Viet Minh

The Matrix was created by a trans woman and at least partly an allegory for being trans

Divergent is shitty lib fanfiction but very obviously anti-conservative

          I still haven’t played the Royal ending, but I think I’m far enough in NG+ to guess - is he just doing the “I’m going to make everyone a big blob” anime plot?

            Hahaha, pretty much that’s what it gets reduced to. They foreshadow it even. He steps in as a substitute teacher on one of the days, and his bit is on ‘‘totalitarianism’’. So they’re already doing the anticom stuff of saying everyone will be the same, use the same toothbrush, be conformists, etc. So when you finally see what he’s up to, you’re primed to think that his solution is just turning everybody into that caricature.

              It’s always the same anime plot lol gendo-tent final-fantasy-ix-xi

              I remember the bit you’re talking about - he asks something like “what’s the difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism” and the right answer is something like “totalitarianism involves control of public discourse” or somethingjagoff like that
