I mean, it's a series about how a bunch of exploited peoples whose only purpose in life is to extract resources for a capitalist elite are humiliated by those elite for nothing other than spectacle, until they rise up and overthrow them in a violent revolution. Unironic improvement without a doubt.
It is an obvious and incredibly blunt depiction of the imperial core and the exploited periphery.
These nerds this post is celebrating are more like traitors living inside District 13, the only free District, seeking to destroy it.
I mean, the post I was replying to definitely seemed to imply that the military coup had freed Myanmar, which seems pretty weird to me.
Orwell Novels are YA fiction before the invention of the genre.
If I was going to be in charge of a colour revolution I would have the awe inspiring hand symbol be doing the Shocker and then firing a bottle rocket out of your ass to the Jackass theme
Doing a version of those cringe comics that the HK lot made where two protesters are like "We'll see each other again friend, after we ride a sleigh down some olive oil covered stairs into the line of riot police!"
Unfortunately, someone wished for more wishes and now it's got fingers for days.
I mean, yeah, sure, whatever
It's decidedly less annoying than Harry Potter libs
Counter-counterpoint: it's exactly the same amount of cringe
It's more cringe because the Harry Potter stuff was so cheesy it was always done as sort of joke. This stuff is pretending to be serious. Plus the Hunger Games movies and books have been out for so long now, are they even still popular? Cringe ass CIA.

This is rank revisionism
They're more popular with people that were born in between millenials and zoomers, which must be what they're targeting as a group right now as those people are currently going through their political enlightenment phases where they settle into their initial politics.
I wonder what the next thing will be. There hasn't been a huge trend in a while. Hopefully not Marvel but probably will be.
At least in the end

The protagonist assassinates the neoliberal girlboss after realizing her continued existence is more dangerous than that of the defanged fascist
I have a mixed relationship with these books. I worked as a literacy tutor for adults for a while and had a string of failures for my first three months. The first time I managed to achieve something was with a functionally illiterate student who was obsessed with the Hunger Games and wanted to read all of them, so that's what we did. She actually got up to about a 9th grade reading level in five months, which is really impressive.
So it was useful for something at least. A few times I thought about sneaking in some theory when she'd ask about the definition of words like revolution or when she'd have difficulty keeping track of the characters' motivations, but I wussed out from ethical concerns. I didn't mention anything directly, but she did occasionally make organic comparisons between the tyranny of the Capitol city and large American corporations.
So I have first hand experience it can at least have some kind of surface level aesthetic value for some people.
This cant be real.
The viral power of libs trying to explain why a crowd in HK going around waving american or british flags and seig-heiling are actually the good guys would be strong enough we all would have seen it by now.
did they also freak out when they found out that the black character was actually black?
