criticisms of stories that look at what are supposed to be in-universe examples of institutional incompetence/malice and go "this isn't realistic!" are the most useless kinds of criticism

I saw this Youtube video that analyzed a legal drama in which a southern black man killed a white man. The guy analyzing the drama thought it was unrealistic how the lawyers kept playing to the jury’s emotions rather than dealing with the facts of the case. Dude, this setting is so explicitly racist that we see a crowd of Klansmen protesting outside the courthouse. Of course they’re playing to the jury’s feelings.
