Chrysalis reminds me of some emo 14 year old girl's design who thinks she's edgy because she holds a razor blade to her wrist the wrong way.

Fuck all the elitists in DWRP who think they're better for "not watching children's shows," bashing thee newer series with little real ground to, and in the same breath praising the originals.

You're all hypocrites.

THE HUNGER GAMES

Someone explain to me how The Hunger Games in the book is actually used as a tool to oppress the citizens of Panem, aside from the government showing how Evil they are.

Because, unless everyone in Panem is severely cognitively disabled, it doesn't make a goddamned bit of sense to me.

It's not used as a way to divide the citizens and turn them against one another as a form of victim blaming. If it were, it wouldn't be a mandatory lotto. It could work if it were "voluntary", with the poor citizens having no choice to sign up if they wanted to get any food, while everyone who was better off could distance themselves from this tragedy and view it as entertainment. "Oh, well since it's voluntary, they must have wanted to be in the Games," or "They're all poor anyway, who even cares?"

Or they could put any traitors to Panem in the Games and use it as a way to showcase gruesome public executions a la Battle Royale. It'd make a lot more fucking sense to do that then cutting out the traitors' tongues and keeping them as servants, giving them unrestricted access to very important people in the Capitol. Yeah, that's real fucking smart, isn't it? I guess it's also really smart to have the winners of the games be violent killing machines who know how to use weapons really well. I'm sure that won't backfire on you guys during a rebellion or anything.

We're told that The Games are viewed as entertainment, which I thought might be used to placate the masses with gruesome, dehumanizing free-for-all entertainment. But then we're told that absolutely everyone hates the fucking Games. Then why the hell are people watching it??? Is it only people in the Capitol who are entertained? You are telling me two different things, Cooper! Or you could just show me, like someone who actually knows how to fucking write.

Why aren't there people outside the Capitol who sincerely believe that President Snow is their Glorious Leader? Are there people like that and did I just miss it? Why would you write about a dictatorship and not include some ridiculous bullshit propaganda that the state controlled media constantly feeds to everyone in Panem as much as possible? That's like "Writing About Dictatorships 101"! It's a prominent thing in those kinds of stories because that's how oppressive governments work. It's how they oppress people. It's mostly a mental control kind of thing. Hell, look at North Korea. Fucking look at it. Kim Jong Il fed all these ridiculous stories to the media constantly about how, say, he had a miraculous and supernatural birth, or how he was beloved the world over and everyone respected him. That's writing gold! Why not use shit like that in the book about President Snow? If stuff like that was used and I didn't get to it yet, please let me know.

All I'm seeing from The Hunger Games is, "We all hate this government and we all hate the Games but somehow we're not rebelling because the Games are being used to punishment us." Yeah? The Games being instated is a really good reason to rebel again, to me! They're already killing your children. What more could they possibly do!?

God, I didn't mean to ramble, I just can't stand this shitty writing and lack of basic research and if I so much as make a peep about this to most of my friends, my ass will be jumped and I'll be told how I "don't understand." Yeah, I don't understand. I don't understand Panem, it's stupid citizens, or how its bullshit government was in power for that long without everyone rebelling (again) as soon as the concept of the Games were announced.

I just started reading the book (Katniss and Peeta just finished the opening ceremony where they got set on fire) and one of the big things that's already bugging me is how Katniss' sister is treated. She's this little delicate flower who apparently breaks down at the sight of a dead dear even when she's starving and seems pretty much useless in every way and everyone just adores her. While I understand having love or pity for one's little sister, in the kind of environment they live in, wouldn't those be considered bad traits instead of ones to be admired? Katniss seems like a very practical girl when it comes to everything except her sister's attitude, even hating her mom for losing hope after her husband died but still forgiving her sister for being pathetic. By the opening of the first book she's the same age as Katniss was when she started hunting and foraging for her family and she's still being a wuss. Wouldn't that be something that Katniss should have tried to beat out of her? When survival is on the line who cares if Bambi's mom is dead.

Another thing that bothers me is more on an in-world level, and that's that each district is apparently confined to a very small section of their very large districts. Like, there's only 8,000 people in an area that covers most of the Appalachians? That's like my hometown and everything else is just wilderness. That's a really, really small population to have spread out over a country as big as the US, even if California and Texas are flooded. And if they're so isolated from each other, what happens when they do meet? I guarantee that there have been diseases spring up in some districts that haven't traveled to others, and they would get spread to people without the immune systems to handle them. And besides all that, it's a horrible idea to keep your populace so oppressed they're on the verge of starvation; what happens if another country that survived decides that it wants to expand onto more land and comes to Panem? They would be wholly unprepared for war and would be decimated before The Capital even knew what was happening. It's just really bad country planning over all.

Okay, so why is the "Capitol" so averse to cannibalism? Collins supposedly based a lot of this series on Rome and gladiatorial games, right? (But if she had done the research, she would have known that only 10% of all gladiator games ever ended in a fight to the death...) Well, didn't anyone ever tell her that the Roman men and their lovely little wives absolutely adored watching helpless captives get eaten by starving animals in the Coliseum?
