Squid Game is a blatant metaphor criticizing the excesses of capitalism, of American supremacism, and individualistic selfishness -- you would think there would a lot more outrage from certain segments of our population.

Any thoughts ?

Either they only see it as a critique of Korean capitalism or they can't read subtitles.

I've literally seen people on this board criticize Squid Game because they didn't find the games entertaining enough.

Ruminate on that one.

I distinctly remember there being an op-ed in like Forbes or WSJ or some such financial rag about how the fact that Squid Game was produced and distributed by the capitalist system actually meant it was a huge demonstration of the successes of capitalism.

As someone who is a fan of capitalism (though not a conservative by any realistic definition): i think you might be projecting your own love of being outraged onto others

You can disagree with a piece of entertainment's message and still be entertained. Its fine.

It's obvious though, isn't it. Besides, you can't really use a piece of art or performance as support for an argument.

It's exaggerated and satirical, so what's to be outraged by?
