What is a Theme? Themes are not morals, morals are not messages. These are all different and unique tools. Namely, a theme is a frame work and touch stone for the author that should remain unseen to the viewer. Themes should never take center stage away from the story. - Kotaku In Action 2 - The Official Gamergate Forum

Because themes are authors tools, and not meant to be seen. You do not need to know the themes of Buffy to understand this discussion. It's relevant in the fact that it's irrelevant.

They are meant to be seen. They are seen, they exist or the story wouldn't exist.

That's not what that word means either. Media is a medium. What you choose to do with it is up to you. Your story is based on your understanding of the tools you use to craft it. Morals are meant to be seen. Not themes.

Themes are tools
