i never really thought about it like this.

Actually hunger Games is a ripoff of Battle Royale, it doesn't have much to do with US as it is now.

I've never read Battle Royale, but all I know from it is that the school forces kids to fight each other to the death, but i mean,is it exactly like Hunger Games?

Welp all the events from fighting to overthrowing government to another event that I can't give cause I'll spoil the last hunger games movie are all in hunger games.
The themes are quite the same as well, and the Battle Royale book is one of the best selling Japanese books and has been around for a LONG time.
So yeah, being ripped off by a random unknown american author is legit.

Guys...maybe, just maybe...

it's a book and just a book.

Jeez, not everything is some big allegory for the corrupt government. Although it really is somewhat ripping off Battle Royale.

On that topic, battle Royale was an allegory about education in Japan

because of massive censorship of freedom of speech in the ole days of Europe, symbolism, allegories, tales of all sorts were developed to teach morales without directly saying it, express ideologies without directly saying it, and attack government, social, economic, and even militaristic methods and systems without directly saying it. To give up on that and look at a piece of literature, stolen or not, and refuse its obvious symbolic reference to modern day corrupt and oppressive and central governments is incredibly naive.

"its a book and just a book" is insulting to all the authors and publishers of the past who have together formed so many universal principles of literature that tell one how to easily express ideas that would get you executed at the time. just because its modern day now does not mean everything is all better and that there is nothing major or significant to attack on, nothing new to teach, or nothing inspiring to write about.

It's a teen book.

Doesn't mean it can't reference anything, or have a message.
