I know The Lorax is a shitty meme movie but can we just chat about how pic related LITERALLY did nothing wrong?
>Didn't mess up the environment. That was the Once-Ler's fault. O'Hare saw the needs of a population living in poor air quality and took advantage of it.
>Doesn't allow people to leave town because it's a fucking toxic wasteland outside
>By all accounts pretty much everyone in Thneedville, save for a small, radical minority, was extremely content with their lives and the prosperity O'Hare provided them with
>Sure, he tried to increase smog levels to boost air sales, but the air was already so fucked that adding a plastic bottle factory is a drop in the bucket
>Ungrateful townspeople turn on him for "muh trees" despite the fact thag his business literally KEPT THEM ALIVE for years
>Gets called a "greedy dirtbag" for voting against the planting of trees, which would threaten his business/livelihood
Tl;dr: O'Hare did nothing wrong and his business provided a vital public service that Thneedville's citizens needed to survive after the Once-Let fucked up the environment. He's far from a villain.
