It might damage the artistic nature of the project, but if you're trying to say something in a movie to a USAan audience, you need to have an aside at the end of the movie where you have the actors tell you what the movie was about
I've seen this pitch 150 times on this site. It wouldn't work. Most of the people misinterpreting these works so blatantly are doing so intentionally, they know they're bullshitting, but the bullshit makes them feel cool so they keep doing it. It doesn't matter how much you smear it in their face they're going to intentionally not get it.
Also everyone seems to assume it's the media DOING this to people and not that people like this are ATTRACTED to this media. I'm confident that if UlyssesT managed to destroy every copy of American Psycho, Fight Club and Breaking Bad in existence but kept everything else about Amerikkkan society the same it would still be pumping psychopaths, they'd just find some way to interpret My Little Pony as fash propaganda instead.
They were always gonna try to create the Torment Nexus, regardless of whether any cautionary tales were written about it.
