Please define "neo-Marxist philosophy".

As an actual Marxist, I would love to hear of this strain of philosophy.

Marxism equipped with “critical theories”, typically focused on tribal grievance narratives rather than class struggle.

That answers your sibling reply as well, as it’s clear where such “critical theories” and grievance narratives have entered movies and games.

That is not a definition. What is the philosophical framework? What is critically analyzed by those theories? What is "clear"? Where are all the bad bad Marxists hiding?

In my experience, y'know, as a Marxist, all Hollywood has ever pumped out is pro-capitalist propaganda. To say there's any Marxism in it is downright insulting.

I believe that Marxism has become an abstract target for conservatives to project their grievances on.

Zizek also spoke to this at his debate with Peterson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDOSOQLLO-U
