Content warnings
- Umineko spoilers
- Umineko is a relatively linear story that is best experienced without spoilers (or very minimal spoilers). There may be partial spoilers up to about Episode 3 on this page.
- I have put all spoilers from after the beginning of Day 2 in spoiler tags. If you mention any of these propositions in edit summaries, please use the redacted titles.
Main entry
- Umineko / 『うみねこのなく頃に』 -> a highly unusual case of a work of fiction being violet not just due to its approach but due to its specific subject matter. I won't spoil the exact plot of the story itself on this page but see below. if you've already read the work your mind will be blown.
Unpacking the allegory
- Umineko and Animal Farm are telling the same story / Umineko and [potential spoiler] are telling the same story (redacted title) -> you think I'm joking. but this is not a joke.
- Kinzo represents global capitalism / [potential spoiler] represents global capitalism (Umineko) (redacted title) -> hmm. I think the best thing to do with these propositions is to create an abbreviated form of the proposition that is amusingly cryptic, then explain the whole thing on a proposition page just for the individual proposition.
is the Moscow Trials / [potential spoilers] is the Moscow Trials (Umineko) (redacted title)
