But that's sort of like sci-fi in that if they embed the message deeply into a fantasy situation, it can still feel real and entertaining. You can dance around subtle themes of inequality and discrimination without sacrificing the story. These days the creators and their intended audiences are too stupid to pick up subtlety so they have to hit you over the head with the virtue signaling.

In a more "grounded" modern-day setting like Scream there is no way to do that without ruining everything. (unless always killing the black guy first is their way of telling the audience how oppressed minorities are)
