One thing that I thought was odd about the Classic weapons was that the Desert Eagle was a no-show, despite that pistol having made an appearance in every installment of the Modern Warfare trilogy. Meanwhile, the ARX160 gets to be one, despite Ghosts only having been 3 years old at the time of Infinite Warfare\'s release.

The movie is focusing on Bias which is simply the favoring of one thing over another which may be supported by facts, emotions, instinct, social norms, culture, etc. Bias, by itself, isn't inherently good or bad. I have a bias of chocolate over vanilla when selecting my dessert. It's how the Bias fuels prejudice and profiling that the movie was exploring.

As such there are several Bias issues at play in the movie that serve as the basis for prejudice and profiling. The biggest is pred/prey, but there were also things like size-ism, species stereotypes (sly fox, dumb bunny, sweet little otter), street experience vs academic achievement (

In reading through the discussion thread that Larkmarn referenced, what I saw was essentially {{Applicability}} run amok. The topic of predators in Zootopia served as the tinder to fuel several vocal responses regarding issues like predators as racial allegory, institutional racism vs individual racism, should predators be feared because they can kill/eat prey, ethical treatment of food sources, how Zootopia fell short in its portrayal of racism, etc.
There was a broad strokes unifying theme of \"racism\" but it just felt like there were a lot of voices taking the opportunity to elaborate on their personal head-canons. What I didn\'t really see was a single issue that I could rightly say, the base is broken between X and Y.
I don\'t know how heavily a clear dichotomy is a requirement for the BrokenBase trope. For me, I\'ve tended to hold that the strongest example of a BrokenBase in the Zootopia fandom is Borba\'s \"I will survive\". There are those who like it and feel it is a strong piece of emotional story-telling (for a variety of reasons) and those that dislike it and feel it is a hackneyed and inept work of manipulative story-telling (for a variety of reasons). The reasons supporting each side are varied but there is a noticeable dividing point of \"love it\" / \"hate it\".
I don\'t know if \"trying to shoehorn\" a specific interpretation of the predator/prey dynamic in Zootopia (that tends to vary from poster to poster) is a clear example of a BrokenBase or not.
