The main problem with Zootopia, aside from the copaganda, is the fact that most of the "racism" in that society is actually pretty justified, like
Yeah maybe prey animals should be wary of their natural predators
It was just an extremely messy movie
@coriander imo the actual purroblem with the racism metaphor is that it works purrfectly as apologia fur a numerical minoritt that is objectively the sociological majority in that society, a phenomenon that has happened more than once. like, say, aparteid south africa
@coriander the villain of the movie is the one going “isn’t it kinda bad that predators occupy all positions of power in society?”
@coriander that complaint is OBJECTIVELY TRUE in the worldbuilding of the movie, and yet the movie goes out of its way to avoid having to deal with her complaint in any meaningful way
@aescling It turns out there are a lot of purroblems
