I remember about 2 years ago on the horror subreddit, there was a discussion about how the new Candyman was gonna be all political unlike the original and people were so sick of horror movies injecting social commentary all the time. I stopped taking that sub seriously after that.
I have a coworker who was ranting about politics in modern video games. I asked him for an example of a game devoid of political commentary and he said Final Fantasy 7.
I did tell him that Avalanche is a radical environmentalist group committing terrorism against a large energy corporation and he instantly rejected that idea. Saying “No, they’re the good guys” so I just disengaged
Ah yes… Candyman the story of the ghost of a slave murdered for loving a white woman, haunting Harlem being doubted yet monetized by white people who think they know better than to legitimize “black supersitions” beyond mockery?
How could anyone mistake that as a metaphor for anything?

These people are completely lost.
I would have told him that Antifa is short for “Aunt Tifa” and his game of choice inspired them.
