its how i radicalize ;) umm hunger games is actually imperialism! seriously you are district 1 and the kid who made your clothes is district 12. you’re the bad guy sucking resources from them for your oppulent wasteful lifestyle.

honestly it always blows my mind when writers or storytellers in general are terrified of using allegory or tropes in general - like, whether you like it or not you will have those in the story so you probably ought to be more self-reflective about what you're writing instead of just vomiting out your racist id
