hi as a film worker just want to say that props didn't make this map. Since an actor doesn't touch or physically interact with it, this item would have been the responsibility of set decoration. Furthermore, the likelihood that set dec made the colour choice independent of the show runner and producers is extremely low. In fact, since it's a joke in the dialogue, it's probably safer to presume it started in the writer's room. I wasn't there, don't believe you were either, but art departments generally don't just make stuff with no guidance from above with hopes that it might wind up being the centerpiece of a gag. Best to attribute a creative choice like this to 'the show' than to assign authorship to the department that executed it.

I think the reason was just that if it was red we would understand the map correctly right away, thus spoiling the joke. We're led to think the atrocities were at the little white dots, but if the map was _red,_ we'd immediately know they were across the map instead. The problem isn't red is horrifying, but that we'd understand the map immediately and spoil the joke. Also this is still pretty horrifying, I don't actually know why it being blue makes it any less horrifying

It is, though in this case the settlers are not Pawnee people, but simply naming their settlement "Pawnee", which was a fairly common trend, to name your settlement after either what you thought the local tribe's name was, or a word from their language. I say "thought", because settlers got that shit wrong A LOT, usually naming large swathes of people as part of whoever they met first.

@changer_of_ways_suspense_smith Жыл бұрын

Indians weren't innocent either. Chief Seattle, the famous chief with a city named after him, ordered a genocide of the Klickitat people, including women and children. The Comanche would regularly raid, rape, and occasionally eat their neighbors. Ancient natives would drive entire herds of bison off of cliffs as a method of hunting. One form of sacrifice the Aztecs had was to torture children to death to maximize the crying as the more tears would supposedly cause more rain. The original tribe that Columbus befriended nearly got wiped out by their cannibal neighbors but was saved thanks to Columbus's assistance. I could go on and on. I really like ancient American history and there's a lot of cool stories, but some of the stories are the darkest stuff I've heard of any civilization.

Wait until people find out that the Apache (and other tribes) sustained themselves through raiding. What does that mean in the real world? Atrocities everytime they needed supplies. Something to keep in mind when judging Americans for trying to stomp out these tribes. And almost always tribes where given the option to settle down instead of going to war over their right to raid (kill people).
