1984 was almost comical with how hard George tried to push the idea of a big boogie man government.

Anthem just so happened to make the protaganist a tall strongman while making others short manlets with mental issuez. In the end strong alpha chad™ gets banished with his virgin qt hecause hes too awesome.

Edgy is not about drumming up your cause whether it's wrong or not, it's about that kid which read Thus Sprach Zarathustra and then sodomized all of his livestock and disemboweled it with his katana while maggots crawled out of their intestines.
