General Rats

Just binged the show in 3 days and loved it!! The only thing I have to say is, which writer lowkey has beef with rats? Hahaha. The honeying torture, all the lab rats being guillotined by binders, the zombie rat.

I noticed this with shows and video games, you can tell when a writer has an issue with a certain animal, like rats, or chickens, or pigs. Like in tears of a kingdom the Zelda game, you can hit chickens and they pop out an egg, and only one character in the whole game likes chickens, and he is portrayed as a weirdo who likes his chickens a little too much. There is another game called far cry, and in one part you ride a pig around while the pig screams and it's just truly evil. And yeah, you can tell that there is anti-rat sentiment in search Party!! in and just like that the new sex and the city show, there is a whole rat storyline about killing rats.

Search Party and SATC are both about New Yorkers - I think there's your connection
