lol, he slaughtered that whole plane of people in season 1.

These people are just dumb as bricks and need it literally spelled out for them to understand anything.

They barely understand text, let alone heavy handed subtext.

That'a why most creative works with deep subtext which is cleverly plotted in the plot are worthless as a teaching medium. Dumb fuckers needs stuff to be delivered very directly.

I think we just need media literacy to be taught in regular schools. Both with real world content or fictional works. We should be raising the dumb dumbs up rather than dumbing our media down to cater to their smooth brains.

Yeah, but with the fascists in charge, not only will that never happen, they’re dedicated to undermining standard literacy, nevermind adding media and fictional literacy.

Kinda feels like we’re doomed.

You are right, but I wouldn't be angry for occasional movie that says very straightforward that being racist and nazi is not good.

For real, could use some of that in video games too. Maybe more in video games. A lot of them like to play in that racism sandbox but by the end try to pull some “but maybe both sides are bad” horseshit.

Far Cry 5 and Bioshock Infinite spring to mind.
