arcane spends the first season highlighting how brutal and unforgiving the piltover occupation of zaun is its objectively and cartoonishly evil there are almost no redeeming qualties for it but it all shifts when jinx does the piltover equivalent of 9/11 and the messaging shifts from brutal occupation and conflict to the characters not being able to cope with trauma so they now commit facism

jinx and zaun are constantly shunned by the show while caitlyn and piltover are so quick to be forgiven

but in the end its okay because they find a common enemy and obviously the biggest enemy is collectivisim

the show is so hilariously amercian and lib it is not even funny

caitlyn gets to win the girl but jinx gets so guilty that she tries killing herself multiple times and ends up faking her own death and escaping her only family

i am genuinely so fucking pissed

    Did she fake her death? I thought she sacrificed herself to save her sister because a lifetime of trauma from KKKolonization finally broke her and she literally couldn’t hold on to life any longer.

      rewatch her death scene you can see a purple flash go through a vent and then caitlyn is seen looking through the vent setup of the place where jinx disappeared

        They couldn’t even commit to letting their cashcow character have a fitting end.
