   @Rasterman I probably fell for the premise at the time but I still disliked the movies in general because they were visually offputting and sorta raunchy.
   
   Jews are obsessed with making "heroes" out of ugly gross "otherized" populations in order to garner sympathy from gentiles. But never explore why these populations are "otherized" in the first place. But by the time anyone starts asking these questions themselves it's too late because they're all in your neighborhood fucking shit up. Turns out the "unlikely hero" was unlikely for a reason.

     @suquili @Rasterman Yeah, something I've noticed is how certain cultures will have memes they apparently subconsciously inject into almost every story. So Americans will usually write a story about a bunch of underdogs from different backgrounds working together to destroy a seemingly unstoppable evil empire. The Japanese try to rationalize why they lost WWII (usually with something like "there are no bad guys, just different sides") and have an atomic bomb metaphor somewhere. The British write stories about something fantastic mixed with mundane bureaucracy.
     
     Jews always make the main character this really ugly guy who is oppressed by a bunch of unfair rules, the whole world is unfairly against him even though he never did anything wrong to anyone, and everything that does go right for him was because of "luck". In the end he wins because of some technicality. The plot usually pits him against some element of traditionalist culture, and there is almost always a not-so-subtle holocaust and/or anti-racism message.
