River spirit keeps trying to draw me into morally instructive allegories, but I keep pointing out that no answer I can give would fulfill the purpose of the exercise because I've already read this one. Hoping they can think of one I've never heard of before they get fed up and just eat me instead.

Consider The Following
The series Welcome To Demon School, Iruma-Kun! is a possible allegory for what it is like living with an invisible disability, with an accepting guardian, but an unaccepting general society.
We have Iruma, who is human, and he's in the Demon World. He doesn't understand much of anything there, and he can't say No when somebody makes a request. But on his orientation day at school, he makes one friend (Alice Asmodeus), who is different from him but they're both strong and he ends up gaining the friend's respect, after accidentally causing trouble. He's put into what is basically a "Special Needs" class because of the trouble caused. (Sound familiar?)
His adoptive grandfather, Sullivan, dotes on him and wants to make him as happy and comfortable as he can, despite his differences, even making him a carriage so he doesn't feel bad about not having wings or magic like his demon schoolmates. (Do you see where I'm going?) He doesn't feel comfortable with this, and so walks to school instead.
Then, when he starts going to school, he meets another friend (Clara), who is different from him, but also similar because she also doesn't have many friends. He enjoys being her friend. Alice has been walking him to school and back, and Clara joins.
Then, when it is time for what is basically a magic and flying exam, Iruma has trouble with it since he can't do either. But, he still does eventually pass, and gets the Ring of Solomon, which absorbs magic and allows Iruma to do magic as well, but because it's hungry, it eats his classmates' magic, until Sullivan comes along, and lets it eat his magic. This is basically Sullivan teaching Iruma how to use a coping mechanism correctly so that he doesn't cause more problems.
Then, when the ring absorbs enough magic and Iruma ranks up enough (Adjusts so he can handle the world better), Iruma gets Alikred, who's like a way he discovers to use his coping mechanism better. But then he goes through his Evil Cycle, which is like him being overwhelmed or overstimulated, and getting grumpy because of it.

conservative X-men fans will see a franchise about an oppressed group of people who fight for their civil rights and freedom in a world that sees them as freaks and monsters and imagine themselves being on the mutants’ side but then can’t even handle masculine cis women in sports or a man with painted nails or cisgender teens on puberty blockers for health issues.
conservative X-men fans will see that oppressed group of freaks and monsters constantly facing the threat of an apocalyptic future specifically caused by hate mongers in powerful positions who very blatantly will and do destroy the same humanity they claim to be protecting if it means destroying Those Freaks and think “wow cool robot.”
conservative X-men fans will agree with the villain who was based on Malcom X and specifically came to hold his beliefs through surviving the Holocaust and claim that he can’t even be considered a villain anymore because his ideology makes sense and is consistently proven right by the humans’ unwavering intolerance, but go into hysterics the minute a real life minority holds any sort of hatred or resentment toward their oppressor.
conservatives in general will always pretend that the media they consume doesn’t have any deeper meaning or purpose other than being entertainment slop because they almost always retreat into media for some type of “comfort” or escape from having to acknowledge reality and their own bigotry. they want the freedom to be bigots without any pushback or consequences so they surround themselves in an echo chamber of fictional characters and universes who can’t argue with them or tell them they’re wrong and bad.
conservatives have to constantly and deliberately turn their brains off to consume a specific piece of media because they know that they would be the villain in it if they gave it an ounce of deeper thought and that’s exactly why they push back so hard against anything that drags them out of their comfy echo chamber, anything that threatens their blissful ignorance.
they thrive on the idea that their media isn’t “that deep” or based in/affected by reality; that there’s no such thing as representation or allegories or coding in media (and alternatively, that representation doesn’t matter or is just propahanda). they thrive on willful ignorance and they want to convince everyone else to be just as ignorant and the death of media literacy is exactly how they’ll achieve it
