This reminded me of those gems in, out of all things, Who Framed Roger Rabbit page (with only second being an YMMV)

Have they SEEN the film? A brown rabbit would have vanished into the brown backgrounds. (Notice how hard the door guard ape is to see at times.) They obviously made Roger white so he'd pop out visually against the grim and drab setting.

Watch the film again. They're kind of right.

Yeah, in kind of one of those "all red is like red" kind of readings. Yes if you have divisions and separations of groups in a movie, it's going to have commonalities with other instances of division. It's the equivalent of "Hitler drank water" for worldbuilding.

Part of the issue is forgetting details like labeling Eddie as "tragic bigot" when the movies establishes that he was originally an exclusive toon-related detective and loved them. Or the fact that the movie largely presents this as unusual, most people liking and adoring toons throughout society.

Bringing up Judge Doom as an uncle Tom kind of overlooks the whole fact that he invents a way to kill toons. Last I read history, blacks weren't exactly indestructible until another black went and showed white people how to kill them. (Except in some black Israelite text.)

Exactly the movie makes the point that most people love toons. And those who don't are very small.

Before this they'd probably give anything for Trump to be dead out of nowhere and now they're doomsaying if he potentially does die. They're never going to be satisfied no matter what happens.

He's their bread and butter. They don't want to explicitly admit it, but they've made him into their brand.

Just as he wanted.
