"Zootopia is constantly asking its characters to look past species stereotypes, and not to use species-ist language or repeat hurtful assumptions. This all seems clever and noble until you realise that all the stereotypes about various animals are to come extent true, in particular the most basic one carnivores eat herbivores because it’s in their nature”
Some Warnings;
This is me going full schitzo-autist on a funny animal movie from 2016, AT LENGTH.
None of my commentary is aimed directly at modern headlines or intra-group relationships, but the parallels are obvious and are absolutely necessary to the film itself, so its impossible to talk about it in detail without mirroring some of that stuff.
So BE WARNED, this is what you are in for. If you don't want to read about that then stop reading!
It's one of those fundamental issues when trying to insert social commentary into a piece of media, it can either all be goofy or it can try and make a real world point, and if it makes a real world point you gotta just put it in the real world or as close to a 1-1 analogue of it.
