      I’m a bit late but... not really. It’s not adult to have a film that explores the mighty grey scale of evil-good, and, on top of that, every film is a vehicle through which the writer can put their wants, needs and concerns. If Hollywood liberals want Trump and the brand of politics they all seem to associate with him gone, then the only way they can do that is through their art.

    I was one of these incel white men that these Chapos are talking about; I was isolated and mentally/emotionally distressed for years, ceaselessly. "All I have are negative thoughts" was a line that really took me back to those days.
    Nevertheless, I was horrified when Trump won, and I was angry at the dems for cheating and failing. So I started to watch progressive media, volunteer for Justice Democrats, and read books about class, propaganda and history.
    Now I'm a staunch anti-capitalist who FUCKS, and whenever I see stories about Bernie or The Squad I feel like I'm a part of something wonderful. So I just want to say thank you to The Left :)

      Their complaint is from the fact that the genre constrains the impact and abillity to create a relatable political narrarative. Not a dig on comics for what they are. IMO political themes are hard to blend into any genre aside from Military Action flicks and Documentaries.

      ​@nickkopriva2323 I really want to like Amber but the thing that drives me nuts about her is that she seems to have an insane chip on her shoulder about how smart she is perceived to be. Like I know that she's an incredibly intelligent person, but it drives me nuts that she can't just let that speak for itself, and I certainly understand that that is in part because she is a woman so she has to work harder to be perceived as intelligent. But sometimes I just feel like she's just listing off art or artists or writers and then quoting them, not only to make her point, but also to demonstrate her own well-readness, instead of just making observations or critiques

    There's a conversation that happens a lot online, where they'll be a post on social media about privilege, someone will scoff at the idea of privilege in the comments, somebody else will assert that the concept is valid in their replies, the original scoffer will outline the hardships of their life and ask how their life can be hard if they have multiple privileged aspects to their identity, and then either the original replier or a new commenter entirely explains that it's still possible, but the privileged aspects of the scoffer's identity simply didn't contribute. The scoffer will then either begrudgingly accept this explanation or rejects it entirely.
    But assuming that that rare acceptance happens, it's then undermined because the scoffer sees the explainers of privilege have the unsympathetic stance on this Joker that Amber described.

    Ill be honest, Arthur Fleck didn't do anything wrong. Everybody he killed was an awful person, besides maybe his mother who is another victim of the same bullshit Arthur went through. Liberals who thought this movie was misogynistic only display their own complete lack of awareness of anything
    But like, going through one of my worst psychological crises at the time and not being able to get any help and struggling for food, this movie was so beautifully cathartic and motivated me to A.) Get psychiatric care and ask my friends for help and B.) Reenter radical politics

      Anti-hero is a much newer phenomenon found in American culture. You can find characters in older literature that could be considered "anti-hero," but the heros arch was only recently applied to villians, mainly during periods of middle class unrest (ie taxi driver in the 70s and Sopranos/Walter White in the 2000s). It's a cultural response to American's cynicism, much like how the middle class is a 21st century phenomenon, so is the anti-hero.

      A coworker fits this category well. He'll forgive anything Star Wars because it's Star Wars. Loves all the pandering Funko Pop bs. For years he'd lamented the fact that a DC cinematic universe was always in the toilet. Finally, Joker came along, and he didn't see it, because of the controversy.
