You can lay that blame at the source material. Hot take, but Pinocchio never was a great novel, more like one long, heavy-handed cautionary tale.

It's a morality play written for children, so your hot take is a fair assessment. It was written back when chapter-fiction specifically for children was still a pretty new concept, so I think it picked up some extra credit just for having some new takes on the standard "obey your elders and say your prayers or wolves will eat you" kiddie fare.

DA
Exactly. Pleasure Island was supposed to be an allegory for what their lives would be like without an education, since education was the way out of poverty and hard labor for most people.

NAYRT

This is exactly what I came to say. The message was to stay in school and study your ass (ha) off, or else you'll be stuck doing hard labor for the rest of your life, since you won't have the knowledge or skills for anything.

When I played Persona 4, and was warned of "easy exits and false terminals," Pleasure Island came to mind almost instantly.

of course sometimes you go to school and study and then when you grow up you find out you're on the stupid fucking autism spectrum and can't get a decent job anyway.

Yeah, I was about to say "Welcome to the world of 19th-century children's literature NOT written by Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear!"
