Oh yeah, I'm sure there's a whole discussion to be had about capitalist media that depicts anti-capitalist themes, but does it in such a watered down way, it's more of an aesthetic than an actual criticism of what's happening. I'm not sure if it's always meddling or if it's more that the people writing it are too liberal to have a clue how to represent such a thing. I mean, I admit that even with what I know, it is a challenge to write a fictional representation of such matters because there is always some element of it being divorced from the realities, but I'm sure if I was writing a cyberpunk-esque story, it'd be one that involves people being organized against the source of the problems and contending with the unique technological challenges involved in opposing it.
