  "account": "Following the recent U.S. election, iconic horror movie character Chucky's creator has taken a jab at rapper Nicki Minaj after the star posted an AI-generated image of the red-haired doll wearing a \"Vote Red\" badge. Don Mancini, the filmmaker behind the Child's Play franchise, made it clear that he feels differently about the puppet's political leanings. In a tweet, Mancini revealed that Chucky has a trans kid, is anti-ICE, and believes a \"Blue Wave\" is coming — a reference to the Democratic Party's candidate wave in the election. Mancini also shared a photo of a real-life Chucky doll holding a Glenda figurine, emphasizing Chucky's protective nature towards dolls.",
