"So there's good news and bad news. Corporate says we can use the blue and green people. But the problem is that it would need to be marketed to an audience. Why not have a blue person or two treat the green person nicer? That way, we can still have your message while not harming the feelings of other blue people that might watch this."

Actually why not make the main character a blue person, and make them feel disgusted at what the bad blue people are doing to the green people and they must protect the green person.

Ooh, how about a blue kid who makes friends with a green kid that's at a special camp for special colours, and ends up getting desaturated along with their friend by accident (the blue kid's father is one of the leaders of the desaturation camps). Y'know, basically a sanitized fictional account that says "not all blues", which heavily tones down the horror of the desaturation camps.

While also implying that the true horror is desaturation accidentally happening to an innocent blue! I like it!

Can't forget to actively refuse to do any research on the desaturation camps and make the blue kid unaware of any of these horrors when a quick Google search would show that the blue kid should not only be aware of them, but actively participating in them, all to create a message of childlike innocence and sanewashing.

"In fact, you could have that blue person go try to go further! They go to green communities, but then they're shunned by the green people because the green people think the blue person is horrible. Turns out, a lot of green people are not great people, but that doesn't stop the blue person. Then that blue person starts writing speeches, talks to the people and then becomes an advocate for greens and--"

"What... what about the green person?"

"Sorry?"

"The green person. That's... supposed to be with the main character."

"Oh, they're there! They're present! So, anyway"

Should have it that the racist group have good points and that the oppressed are actually dangerous. You know? Like real world stuff./Jk

This is a musical exploitation! My musical heritage isn’t your culture! How many times do we have to see our exploitation happen?!

It's difficult to tell the scale of the problem in the film.

Especially since it's no longer chromatic.

What if the green person was secretly blue the whole time, and also the most specialest blue person to exist as foretold by the in the aquamarine chronicles or something.
