This is unsurprising to me considering the focus on aesthetics over substance that has ALWAYS plagued these movies. From the books being about the crass media circus around the death of children leading to movies that BUY INTO the in-universe shipping propaganda with their stupid “Gale vs Peeta” marketing.
To the way the fandom absolutely does NOT care to interact with the way Coriolanus represents all the worst parts of the imperial core EXCEPT for the ways it helps them write totally toothless memes and “dark romances” about privileged, domineering, possessive man.
To the way the producers of The Ballad signed the fucking Pro-Israel Hollywood letter to Biden! This has been one of my most disappointing fandoms, and it disgusts me how much the aesthetics of Americana and glamor seemed to have totally rotted people’s brains!
This video does a great job breaking this aspect down at 34:30 seconds.

do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????
