Want to see a bunch of social justice warriors eaten alive by cannibals? You’ll get a chance this September with the release of Eli Roth’s latest horror film, Green Inferno.
Green Inferno tells the story of a group of pampered western clicktivists who travel to the Amazonian rainforest to save an endangered native tribe. The tribe proceeds to open a churrascaria, with annoying Americans top of the menu. Most viewers could figure out that it’s a satire of social justice warriors, but Eli Roth has gone further, explaining to theLA Times precisely who he is satirising and why.
“I wanted to write a movie that was about modern activism,” said Roth. “I see that a lot of people want to care and want to help, but in general I feel like people don’t really want to inconvenience their own lives. The SJW culture has gotten so out of control,” he explained. “Are they doing it just because they believe in it? Or do they just want to look like good people?”
Roth is describing the phenomenon of virtue-signalling, where pampered, hand-wringing brats use social media to look like heroes — without having to do any of the work.
Seemingly determined to prove Roth right, a change.org petition has called on the director to cancel the launch of Green Inferno on the grounds that it “dehumanizes indigenous people.” But the petition looks like damage control to prevent dehumanizing undignified SJWs.

It is hard to understand how any self-respecting cannibal (even in the movies) could stoop so low as to actually eat those prissy social justice warriors. Talk about eating contaminated meat! Crocodile treats would have been more appropriate!
Fasten your seat belts clicktavist snowflakes, Dave Chappelle is back.
Perhaps those indigenous anthropophagi have an approach like that of a few vegetarians of my acquaintance. They eat as low on the evolutionary scale as reasonably possible.
He can follow up with a movie about community organizers that get beaten, raped, and killed by inner city gangs.
Food for though…
I see double standards everywhere. Most who say they’re conscious are full of shit when pressed, but in doing so you will be labeled the bully.
It’s like conflict avoidance, plus it’s trendy and new, so it’s easy for these folks to be fake.
My money is on Barry and his mom, ValJar, getting it shut down.
You mean, WITCH BURNING PURITANS aren’t, like, COOL anymore?!
South Park already did this!! 😆
