the protagonist in the movie recognizes that he is bad tough not misunderstood just selfish and uncaring to all ecxept those emotional close to him

This tactic is easiest to see in Disney’s recent slate of films that turn classic evil villains into misunderstood anti-heroes. How confusing it must be for children to be presented with Maleficent (maleficence: noun. the act of committing harm or evil) and Cruella Deville (literally cruel devil) and being asked by the film to root for them as if they are heroic. They will because children are easily influenced.

This is a very disturbing and calculating form of indoctrination and it is being done more and more often. Don’t make the mistake of thinking because the wokeness is subtle that it’s not there. If you can’t see it you are already indoctrinated.
