So many people can't see a message in something unless it is explicitly said. I mean, there are people who think that a character doing something objectively bad, while not being criticized in the narrative, must mean that the viewer is supposed to identify with them.
Sometimes I think the old Opera trope where the spirit of Equality or whatever does a full Picard speech to the audience about The. Main. Moral. Of. The. Story. for 15 min at the start of every show is the only way.
