| Topic | Gamespot review of Dune-10/10. "Relies on white savior trope" |

I see...for Dune, I never read the book but I'm trying to remember any non white people in the David Lynch movie and I can't, so I assume it can be a matter of coding? I still find it difficult to not see that as a 'chosen one', he's the Kwizatz Haderach iirc there's only one of those, he represents that not a whole race. If anything that movie was about the evils of gingers and the upsides of drug abuse, but again that was a David Lynch movie that even he admits is all over the place so I'm sure there's important details omitted (or that I just don't remember). It's not coding really. The fermen were explicitly viewed as lesser subhumans. It's a fictional ethnicity but the story of oppression and salvation is the same. If you replace fermen with something like "American Indians" you see the story for what it really is. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...
