guess who just got out of the theater
Effie is actually not fanservice because she is important to the theme of propaganda in SOTR
Effie is 100% brainwashed AND YET she still hasn't lost her humanity. She believes propaganda completely AND YET she doesn't use it as an excuse to abuse people. Throughout the book, the tributes are constantly dehumanised. But Effie doesn't treat Haymitch that way. She helps the team. She's there for him in the launch room- which Drusilla and so many Capitol citizens would never do.
So there really is no excuse for abusing people, not even "I was lied to" or "i thought i was in the right" or "I was fed propaganda"
You still choose how you interact with people around you and how you treat them.

Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.
Rhonda finally feels safe enough to take her first nap in decades and wakes up under a pile of jackets; a letterman, a denim button up, brown suede, and a band uniform jacket
watching the scene where maddy draws the symbol on the back of owen’s neck was like. oh. Oh. this is Such an intimate experience and even though, physically, we are watching a boy and a girl exist on screen, it is SO MUCH a representation of a young queer person’s first experiences of intimacy with the same gender that it almost physically hurts. i felt like i was intruding. how much she touches him, pushes his head forward, the slow drawing of the pen, fingers drawing softly over her shoulders afterward. it was so tender.
