Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
I read it when it came out
Even then I was like "yeah that kinda sucked" and moved on lmao, and i was in middle school
i did a middle school presentation on the first book but couldn't get past the first chapter so i used sparknotes
I can see why Elon musk might gravitate towards it
I have grown to hate this trope with a passion. Like okay I get it, True Blood came out when gay marriage wasn't legal in the US. So something something allegory. If you actually had vampire/werewolf/farie powers, you wouldn't be a persecuted minority. We wish we could turn people gay by biting them, but that's not how it works. If gay people could fly and lift trucks, they would have never been in the closet in the first place.
My point is True Blood was at least tolerable for a few seasons. And my tolerance for this shit has worn out. Being non-white isn't like being in X-Men. The trope is always about white characters feeling persecuted for having super powers. In reality, if white people had special abilities, they'd immediately use it to justify white supremacy and go around killing people without powers. Like they do now with their non-super power.
"Wow I'm so different I can turn people into frogs and shoot fucking lightning from my eyes and the world just can't handle someone like me who exists outside the non-ability paradigm an---" no shut the fuck up. Fucking worthless writers and their chosen one bullshit sysysyaidisiebajaassaasdbabvxuwisondnkd
Then you get to the isekai harem slop that infests anime and manga. It's what sells (merchandise especially), so for every decent show there's like a dozen "chosen one gets sent to a magic world where he's overpowered and big tiddy waifus fight over his affection."
