    (Spoilers, I guess)


    Except Jake repeatedly exposes corruption in the rich and powerful? Like, ACAB, but the story would be mostly the same even without the uniform.

      the uniform is a big part of the message. it’s copaganda, Cops will save you from the racist state. They are the racist state

        Is actually pretty decent portrayal of most of the cops in that movie.

        Spoilers

        The bunny and fox are being chased by the cops for most of the movie.

        They’re being ostracized for being good cops, and the fraternity it’s trying to force them out.

        Later, the cops are following the mayor, who is a billionaire’s puppet.

        The unrealistic part only comes at the end where the mayor grows a pair and stops listening to the billionaire, and that the cops change their minds about the bunny and fox instead of just killing then in a traffic stop.

      But giving a good guy a uniform is copaganda. The problem isn’t the system but a few evil individuals, most of them happen to be of Jewish descent, and the state is here to save us. That’s fascist ideology.

        Your nullified your whole comment with that “Jewish descent” crap. That’s just another of the many methods used to divide the populace & keep them from uniting against the puppeteers, and you seem to have fallen for it.

        The problem isn’t the system but a few evil individuals

        Robin Hood had that too. That’s pretty much a staple of children’s stories.

        most of them happen to be of Jewish descent

        That’s quite the stretch. Are you basing this solely on (some of) the voice actors? Because that’s just a bit weird.

        and the state is here to save us

        If anything, both emphatically show that heroes do good even when the system/state is literally hunting them down.

        If you simply can’t accept any media with a cop good guy, that’s fair enough. Your critiques of the story don’t have much merit, though.

      Yeah most of Zootopia is about the protagonists realizing that they need to “go rogue” root out the fascist corruption.

      Still copaganda, but I don’t feel guilty watching and enjoying them.

      Your expecting these people to actually watch the media. Instead of just trying to be the edgyist edge lord that even did edge.

        Honestly, I don’t expect anyone I’m talking to has actually watched/read/listened to whatever’s being discussed. In my experience, people retain very little of what they claim to have seen/heard, to the point they may as well not have.
