Thinking about the many, many conservatives who thought Starship Troopers was a good, fun romp about killing evil aliens, think we're supposed to agree with the racist rants in the Sopranos, consider Gordon Gekko a role model, etc.

    my high school english teachers screaming about how "protagonist" doesn't mean "the good guy"

      I had to argue with my 9th grade English teacher this exact point. Dude wasn't good at the gig.

        No sweaty, it has "pro" in it so it's the good guy.

        Similarly, the "antagonist" has "ant" in it, which is why so many stories have anthropomorphic ants as the villains.
