Nah. The Purge series, at least after the god awful first installment, tends to almost exclusively use old white guys as The Villains. Those movies are not at all subtle in their politics (right down to Not Hilary Clinton being one of the heroes of 3).

Even Super Scientist Marisa Tomei was mostly portrayed as an idealist who discovered her genius social experiment was being corrupted before getting blapped.

Homie is more like the villain of a movie adaptation of a YA dystopia where they want to maximize their audience by letting people project whoever they hate most into the villain.

So @SalamenceFury@lemmy.world just sparked the thing in my head. I was picturing evil white lady and my brain dropped in The Purge as what she was from. The chick I was thinking of was actually from the Maze Runner series.
