I do like Zootopia on similar axes to this. I think it fails to meet my personal bar for inclusion on “doesn’t do neutral point of view” grounds.
I like that it tells a fairly complex story that engages with societal problems being fairly complex.
One of my favorite bits of Zootopia I look at through the lens of “epistemic horror.” The scene where Judy is trying to articulate her current epistemic state to the crowd of reporters, and then both she’s not very good at explaining / is-slightly-wrong, and they aren’t capable of hearing her nuance, and she’s realizing as she talks that she’s not able to say the right thing and her attempt to just report her thought process is getting distorted and hurting her friend and it’s not even clear what she should have done in the first place instead… felt like it was getting at something pretty important.
I do find it a bit lame (esp. in the context of this post) that they don’t engage at all with… what exactly do the predators eat these days? Is everyone in Zootopia vegan?
Zootopia next please.
