That was one of the stupidest controversies ever. For months left-wing journalists were demanding that the studio not release the movie because it would cause an "incel uprising."

Ironic since the whole subplot of his uprising was based around FAKE NEWS creating a narrative that had nothing to do with the Joker killing those guys on the train. It got so bad that the media clearly was rooting for a mass shooting to justify their coverage so they could say I told you so. It was nuts. The only thing the movie inspired was people dancing down the stairs and posting memes on its way to becoming the highest box office R rated movie of all time. LOL. Owned.

It saddens me that the populace has become stupid enough that they couldn't understand the whole point of the movie was that Arthur Fleck became the Joker as an inevitable result of an evil, uncaring and apathetic society. Because that would mean acknowledging yourself to be responsible for such evil, and that's a no-no for victim culture narcissists.

Too often have I come across a person who watched the movie who summed it up as "be nice or school shooters will kill you." Like, fuck you, you moron.

It's really not worth it to engage with people still in the Matrix that bad. You'll just get shit on your shoes.

By the way, the Aurora, CO shooter? He wasn't inspired by the character of the Joker at all. That's the story they ran with for years though.

That movie is the only new movie I've watched in about 4 years. Thought it was pretty good.
