So I saw the #HungerGames and it was shitty.
-
-
There are many more fuct examples about race in the
#HungerGames, but I'll leave it at that for now. Let's get to the misogyny. -
In the
#HungerGames, the resistance--which doesn't define its aims--tricks that little white girl Katniss into being their front. -
In the
#HungerGames, the resistance is like she's cute, white, smart and good with a bow and arrow. Get her. -
The resistance straight kidnapped Katniss for their revolution in which kidnapping little white girls is apparently ok.
#HungerGames -
Like, if women can get kidnapped in the new world the resistance in the
#HungerGames is creating, then I'm not down. Fuck that. -
We know that the capital is bad and makes people play these games of death for fun. Fuck is the
#HungerGames resistance doing different? -
They see Katniss is so intelligent and cute and strong. But she's not smart enough to make her own decision? Again: fuck that.
#HungerGames -
And even after the resistance in the
#HungerGames kidnaps Katniss, they never tell her, "This is the new world we're making. You down?" -
In the
#HungerGames, Katniss is never even given a choice. Shit. Maybe she'd chose different. But they're like, "Nah, just die for us." -
#HungerGames reminds me of#VforVendetta, in which Evey is literally tortured. But it's ok because the revolution and stuff. -
If we're really about changing things, it won't be in the image of the
#HungerGames. Because that movie is just the same old shit. - 1 more reply

@aurabogado And the audience empathizes, they 'get it,' but they don't get real world anger by blk people subject to similar circumstances. -
@aurabogado The same kinds of circumstances, in fact, that these fictional story lines were likely mirrored after.
