The Simpsons is about a family and their adventures in their crazy town.

I think it used to be authentic because back when it was made you used to be able to support a whole family on a single working class job but not so much any more.

Chain =saw man is an anime about a kid named Denji who has lots of debt from his parents and has to hunt devils in order to pay it off.

I think it's an authentic depiction because people have extremely large debts and don't have enough money for living and have to do bad things just to survive.

SpongeBob is about a fry cook and his adventures with his friends.

Sponge is a good representation of the working class because he's shown as willing to work and is passionate about his job.

The Hunger Games is about a girl in the poorest district chosen to participate in a deathmatch against 23 other kids for entertainment.

I think Katniss is a good representation for people in poverty because her living conditions are realistic and she has to take care of her family, mainly her sister from a young age.

Black Clover is about a kid from a small village with no magic who becomes a magic knight on his way to become the wizard king.

I think this is a good example of the lower class because Asta works hard for things and is dedicated even though he's a commoner.

Life is Strange 2 is about a teenager and his little brother forced on the run after they were accused of killing a cop. I think Sean and his family are a good representation of the working class because after their mother walked out on them their dad had to sacrifice a lot so his sons would have a good life.

Wolf among us is a game about a a detective named Bigby who is the Big Bad Wolf and he has to solve multiple mysteries around Fabletown.

I think Bigby is a good representation of the lower class because despite having what seems to be a good paying job he is actually homeless and lives in motels and that shows the struggles of people that most think would be well off.

Arcane tells the origin story of sisters Vi and Jinx (originally Powder), who find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing conflict between the Utopian city of Piltover and the oppressed under city of Zaun, exploring the relationships that shape some of League of Legends' famous champions.

Ekko is a good example of lower class because he grew up in the slums of Zaun with nothing and had to fight to survive but despite that he still wants to protect people and bring them together to have a safe place to live

The Spider Man comics are about an average guy Peter Parker that gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets the powers of a spider and protects New York along with managing his normal life.

I think he is a good example of the working class because he shows that even if you’re a superhero you can still struggle in your life and Peter still has a job and has to pay rent.

Scott Pilgrim is about a guy in his 20’s that has to defeat his crushes 7 evil exes in order to date her.

I think Scott is a bad example of lower class because he's said to mooch off his friend that lets Scott stay with him and doesn't pay for anything or have any motivation to work and I don't think that does people of lower class justice.
