Ok I’m glad I’m not crazy someone else said it first - yeah it feels like you can’t introduce an oppressive class and then actually deal with them so you had to go everywhere else

#and like I always say #stop bringing up issues ur not ready to deal with bc #the reality of it is with the way everyone was reacting to piltover #if u went full throttle on the classism plot u brought up the next arc would’ve been about zaunites being fed up and taking to the streets #of zaun #not just jinxers or whatever like the reason everyone thought jinx was gonna Join ekko is bc this felt like it was supposed to be a catalys #for smth and it wasn’t #have y’all noticed how little pov we got from zaunites in comparison #close ups on ppl in the memorial that we don’t get when it comes to showcasing enforcers brutality #mind you the way the conditions of zaun are like background noise now #which we also never here about bc they dropped the ball with ekko to make him save everyone #more complicated than that but yeah #but yeah it’s bc the next step is showcasing the ppl like Maddie who don’t have guns #that’s like. a good chunk of the ppl watching ur show #also if I say it’s extremely difficult to do classist allegories in this era without racism being present in undertones at least bc the two #are intertwined as we know it so just side stepping around race with no substantial allegory meant nothing was ever gonna be resolved or #discussed fully #you’ve seen me try to give the benefit of the doubt on this but I truly believe so many oppression stories that are based in modern #societies fall flat when they mention everything except race when race is a ROOT of damn near every oppression system today but especially #classism. so it’s like more complicated than talk about ekko being black like that’s not what I’m saying #what I’m saying is when you can’t fully grasp the topics ur exploring ofc the ending on that point is gonna feel lackluster #but Y’know whats funny when I was debating on whether arcane was copaganda I made an offhand ‘a show that wants us to root for cait’ but I #think that might’ve been the easiest point made. like yea a show that wanted me to root for cait and tbh even jinx was never gonna end this #well. especially a show that sidelined black characters until it was time to be the plot devices and saviors alr #Ambessa thank you for being evil and ID say evil is a stretch simply bc fuck Caitlyn
