Is this passage "safe"?

It's supposed to be an analysis of a genre, and I know some stuff here can get contentious at times.

The progenitor of the Cyberpunk genre, and I mean in the sense that it predates and created the genre, was this German Expressionist film named Metropolis. I suggest you give it a try. It's as amateurish as you'd expect from something made before dialogue was a thing, let alone modern cinematic science, but it's still quite informative.

And one of those informative things is when I realized why the genre doesn't seem to make sense, as in why it feels incomplete and pointless. The Cyberpunk genre is basically inspired by what was meant to be a Christian narrative structure, with the rotten Metropolis being a decadent den of sin and iniquity that gains Salvation through a very blunt metaphor for Jesus.

That's what made the genre click for me. The modern version was obviously directly inspired by 1980s anxieties of evil Japanese megacorps with their indoctrinated wage slaves destroying Good American Business, but some of the old influence leaked through.

How else, after all, can you explain Roy Batty and the nails in his palms? The dove in the rain? The literal Ziggurat?

Is it fine if I post this?

Seems fine to me, go ahead.
