[incoherent rambling about why politics should not be allowed in media I like even though politics have always been present in media I like such as Bioshock, Blade Runner, Silence Of The Lambs and even Star Wars]
People have become hyperaware and cry about politics in new stuff, but somehow manage to ignore it in everything that came out before 2014. The cognitive dissonance is amazing.
It’s always interesting to see how people react when you tell them that George Lucas himself said that the rebels were a nod to the Vietcong, that the imperial empire represents America and that Palpatine in the prequels was based off Richard Nixon. “Keep your radical politics out of the OG trilogy, George!” haha.
