regarding squid games, i’m more concerned about the random “we have a just society here within the game. and you can’t break the rules of fairness” mini-arc. that random plot was unnecessary, was forced. and it didn’t get followed up on.

we’ll have yet to see whether the director is a right wing incel in disguise a la attack on titan
