Tumblr User Calls BS On Sinister Subtext of "Spirited Away"

Whether or not you agree, it's true that people tend to read way too far into their favorite stories. And while some elements of darkness might be present in a kid's story, they might be just that, elements, and not the fully realized plottings of the artist who also poured their heart and soul into the other 95% of the story that you're not focusing on to fit your narrative. That said, there is fun to be had in fan theories, like how Darth Vader is way too extra or how Violet Beauregard should have inherited Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
