| Feb 28, 2014 at 10:46 | comment | added | Royal Canadian Bandit | It is very easy to point to things done by modern governments and say they are "as bad as the Hunger Games". IMO this is missing the point; Collins deliberately imagined the Hunger Games to be different from anything in the modern world. Also, specific modern examples are likely to be highly controversial and sidetrack this question into a debate on [insert government policy here], so they should be used with extreme caution. | |

| Feb 27, 2014 at 19:12 | comment | added | brichins | "They are not barbaric. They are not sadists. And yet, they seem to enjoy the Hunger Games year after year." I submit that their thorough enjoyment and continue patronage of the Games, and fascination and support of the tributes, indicates that they are, in fact, at least sadists if not barbaric. Also: "I don't know if the author ... intentionally incorporated this contradiction..." Yes. The whole series is about what people are willing to idly accept because it isn't happening to them. What does it take to get an individual (or a people) to say "no more"? | |
